Evolution Stages
๐ Evolution Stages Explained
Pizza Pets are more than just static collectiblesโtheyโre living digital pets that grow and evolve through various stages. The evolution process is tied to Bitcoin block times, creating a unique and dynamic gameplay experience.
Evolution Stages and Timeline โณ
There are six evolution stages in Pizza Pets:
Egg
Baby
Child
Teen
Adult
Immortal
The total time it takes for a Pizza Pet to reach the Immortal stage (without acceleration or roids) is approximately 72 days, aligned with the length of Season 1. The game began on December 14, 2024, and with an expected average of 10 minutes per Bitcoin block, Season 1 will conclude 72 days later, on February 24, 2025.
Evolution Chart ๐
The table below outlines the time required for each stage of evolution. It also includes accelerated times with the use of roids (PEDs), though specific strategies for roids will be covered in the Advanced Strategies section.
Evolution Mechanics ๐ง
The evolution process happens automatically as blocks are mined and your pet accumulates the required time in each stage. Hereโs what you need to know:
Egg to Baby: All Pizza Pets start as eggs and hatch into babies after 288 blocks (~2 days).
Stage Transitions: Each stage transition requires a set number of blocks to complete, as shown in the chart.
Immortal Stage: Reaching the Immortal stage is the ultimate goal, unlocking unique traits and high value.
Collecting all 11 types of pets and evolving them to Immortal will give you the ability to breed new pets in Season 2 of the game.
Factors That Affect Evolution ๐๐
Acceleration: PEDs like Roids
Certain items, such as roids (Performance Enhancing Drugs), can speed up the evolution process. For example:
Steroids (Roids): Increase evolution rate by 1.5x, reducing the time required to transition between stages. However, this comes at the cost of doubling the heart loss rate (2x heart loss).
Coffee: Does not directly impact evolution speed but reduces the heart loss rate by 1.2x, which can be useful for survival during stage transitions.
Slowdowns: SADs and Other Factors
Other items, such as State Altering Drugs (SADs), can pause or slow down evolution. For instance:
Weed: Slows evolution by 2x but also slows heart loss rate by 1.5x, providing a balance for those focusing on long-term survival.
LSD: Temporarily pauses the game for 14 days (2016 blocks), freezing both heart loss and evolution progress.
DMT: Provides a high-risk, high-reward mechanic by instantly evolving your pet to the next stage or potentially killing it. The success rates vary based on the current stage and are particularly low for evolving to Immortal.
Weโll explore these items and strategies in more detail in the Game Actions Explained and Advanced Strategies sections.
Evolution and the Bigger Picture ๐
Reaching the Immortal stage within Season 1 is a significant achievement. It requires planning, efficient use of game actions, and a clear understanding of how evolution works. While items like roids and DMT can provide acceleration or dramatic shifts, they come with their own risks and trade-offs.
For players aiming for Season 2, evolving all 11 types of pets to Immortal status will unlock the breeding feature, allowing you to create new pets and gain an edge in the next phase of the game.
