Pollinated analysis
Pollinated comes from bee pets on a cooldown, so unlike weather mutations it does not depend on an event. Its ×3 is minor alone, but it is a Honey Glazed component and bee pets tend to be early acquisitions, making this most players' first taste of pet-driven mutation stacking.
Overall ranking
#40 of 45Pollinated is the 40th-strongest mutation in the game and 7th of 7 in the Pet category. That is 10.0× below the median mutation multiplier of ×30.
Bracket contribution
+2Because the bracket is 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, each mutation really adds its multiplier minus one. Pollinated therefore contributes +2 to the bracket, not ×3 on top of everything else — a common misreading when pricing trades.
Marginal gain when stacked
+0.9%Added to a Shocked + Celestial stack (a ×219 bracket), Pollinated raises it to ×221 — a 0.9% increase. Pollinated is marginal at ×3, worth only 0.9% on top of an existing stack, and it feeds no fusion. Treat it as incidental padding.
How to obtain
PetSource: Bee pets. Pet mutations fire on a cooldown rather than requiring an event, so this lands passively once you own the pet. Keep valuable crops planted so the proc is never wasted.
Where Pollinated sits in the ranking
The next mutation up is Burnt (×4), worth 1 more to the bracket. Immediately below it is Chilled (×2). If Pollinated is out of reach, that is the closest practical substitute.

Pollinated FAQ
How much does the Pollinated mutation multiply crop value?
Pollinated carries a ×3 multiplier, but inside the bracket formula 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N it actually contributes +2. On its own it gives a ×3 bracket; added to a Shocked + Celestial stack it takes you from ×219 to ×221.
How do you get the Pollinated mutation?
Pollinated comes from: Bee pets. It is a Pet mutation, ranked #40 of 45 overall and 7th within its category.
Is Pollinated worth farming?
Pollinated sits at #40 of 45 with a ×3 multiplier, contributing +2 to the bracket. It feeds no fusion, so its ×3 is the whole of its value. Compared with Chilled (×2) just below it, the gap is 1.
Can Pollinated stack with other mutations?
Yes. Pollinated stacks additively with other environmental mutations using 1 + Σ(multipliers) − N, but only one growth tier (Silver, Gold or Rainbow) can apply at a time.
