What’s the difference between Swan and Black Swan in Grow a Garden?
The Swan in Grow a Garden on Roblox is a Divine‑tier pet with passive traits including Swan Song (boosts nearby pets’ XP and restores hunger) and Bird of Grace (applies Graceful mutation to fruit).
The Black Swan in Grow a Garden is a rare visual variant of Swan: same abilities, same traits, only the appearance is different. Dark grey body with white feather tips distinguish it.
How to get the Black Swan in Grow a Garden?
To obtain the Black Swan, you first must get a Swan from the Fall Egg (1% hatch rate). Then, very rarely, the Swan variant can be the Black Swan (about 1 in 10,000 chance among Swan hatches). The process involves participating in the Fall Market Event.
Go to the Fall Festival Pets Shop inside Grow a Garden during the Fall Market Event. That’s where you can purchase Fall Eggs.
- Step 2: Buy a Fall Egg
You need to acquire the Fall Egg. Cost is 90,000,000 Sheckles or 149 Robux depending on shop options.
- Step 3: Place the Fall Egg in your garden
Once you’ve bought the egg, place it in your garden and start the hatching process. You will have to feed / wait until it hatches.
- Step 4: Wait till the egg is ready to hatch.
- The chance to hatch a Swan from the Fall Egg is ~1%.
- Among those Swan hatches, the Black Swan variant is extremely rare (~1 in 10,000).
If you want the Black Swan, you’ll need patience (many Fall Eggs), enough in‑game currency (Sheckles or Robux), and participation during the Fall Event. Missing the event or lacking resources will make it very hard. But for those who get it, it’s a prestige item.
How much is the Black Swan worth in Grow a Garden?
Because of its rarity and purely cosmetic difference vs standard Swan, the Black Swan’s value is much higher in prestige and trade than its in‑game utility (which is the same as standard Swan's). Players pay extra for rarity, uniqueness, and collector status.
Market Value
- Standard Swan has value already high due to being Divine tier, limited to 1% hatch rate.
- Black Swan variant trades for far more in player markets. Because only around 1 in 10,000 Swans are Black, that scarcity pushes up demand.
Trait Speciality
- Both Swans have exact same traits (Swan Song, Bird of Grace), same hunger (56,000), same cooldowns.
- What makes Black Swan special is appearance + bragging rights + rarity. In trading, those count heavily. Some players/buyers will “pay more” or prefer Black Swan for shows of status.
Players’ Choice
- Among collectors, Black Swan is highly desired. Many players would rather wait or spend extra rather than settle for a regular Swan.
- For general utility (boosts, mutation), normal Swan does the job. But for prestige, community, trades, and screenshots, Black Swan may be worth considerable premium.
While the Black Swan doesn’t outperform the normal Swan in traits, its rarity and aesthetic make its in‑game trading value and prestige much higher. If you’re planning to trade, display, or collect, the Black Swan is a top prize.
