What Is Koi in Grow a Garden?

Koi is a Mythical-tier pet introduced during the Zen Event, valued for its dazzling appearance and its rare “Fish of Fortune” ability, which gives you a 0.61% chance to reclaim an egg after hatching. This doesn't apply to premium or exotic eggs, but can be a valuable passive for regular hatching cycles. Each Koi pet also comes in one of several randomly assigned color variants, such as Shiny, Golden, and Radiant, making collecting Koi even more exciting.
