Pet Simulator 99 Beginner Guide: The Route That Saves the Most Time

Start Pet Simulator 99 without wasting diamonds: build a full team, push areas, rank up, rebirth at useful checkpoints and learn when trading matters.

Reviewed August 5, 2026
Quick answer

What should you do now?

Fill your team before chasing rare pets. Push the next area, complete rank quests as you go, buy permanent slots when they become available, and treat your first rebirth as a progression unlock—not as a reason to stop farming.

Do this

  • Equip the strongest full team you can field, even if the pets are ordinary.
  • Keep moving forward while rank quests can be completed in the same area.
  • Save diamonds for permanent account progress before cosmetic or speculative trades.

Avoid this

  • Do not park in the first areas hoping for a Huge pet.
  • Do not buy a pet only because its RAP number looks high.
  • Do not copy an end-game enchant loadout when you have only a few slots.
01

Your first session, in order

  1. 1

    Break the largest cluster your team can clear quickly. Pick up coins, open the next gate, then repeat.

  2. 2

    Hatch only enough to replace weak pets and fill empty equip slots. A full team beats one flashy pet plus empty slots.

  3. 3

    Read your rank quests before settling into an area. Choose a zone where the breakables, jars, presents or mini-chests match the quest.

  4. 4

    Take permanent pet-equip, egg-open and player upgrades when you reach them. Those benefits keep helping after the current pet is obsolete.

  5. 5

    Rebirth when the statue is reachable and the reward unlocks the next useful system. The short rebuild is part of the game loop.

The game changes often. Check the in-game price and current official database before spending.

03

If progression suddenly feels slow

  • Replace the weakest pets instead of upgrading the same one repeatedly.
  • Move to a populated server area if shared breakable damage helps you clear faster.
  • Check whether a rank quest is pulling you into the wrong zone for your actual goal.
  • Use damage, treasure or coin boosts only when you are ready to stay and farm.
  • Open the progression planner before spending diamonds to brute-force the problem.
04

The beginner checkpoint

You are out of the tutorial phase when you understand three separate tracks: areas move the map forward, ranks expand account capacity, and rebirths unlock permanent features. They overlap, but none replaces the others.

From here, choose a goal. Push worlds in the progression chapter, build a farming loadout in the enchant guide, or learn the trading screen before buying rare pets.
