Best Steal A Balut Pets to Keep
Practical keep/replace calls for bakuran slots based on live Cash-per-second reads.
Keep the printers, release the souvenirs
The best pet in Steal A Balut is the one on your account with the highest reliable $/s that you can protect. This page turns that rule into named examples, specimen-variance warnings, and replace guidelines. For the broader grading system, see the Tier List Hub. For a wider name checklist as the Index grows, cross-check Pets List after you finish a keep/replace pass here.
All Pets is the source of truth. Wiki tables are dated snapshots from public recordings. If your client shows a different rate on the same name, trust your client.
S-tier mindset: Haribon-class earners
Public October 27 footage compared a Haribon specimen near the top of the earning board — about $3.5M/s on that displayed copy, the largest value among the four named examples that recording set side by side. If you hatch or steal anything in that income band:
- Place it immediately inside the bakuran.
- Equip it over any mid-tier filler.
- Treat the walk home as sacred — redeem Speed codes before farming more of these.
- Avoid AFK in crowded lobbies while it sits near the door.
- Screenshot the All Pets line so you can prove the rate if a friend argues about “true” Haribon strength.
You may never see the exact same $3.5M/s twice. Judge each new Haribon (or future patch equivalent) by the number All Pets shows today. A weaker Haribon copy is still usually better than a strong C-tier meme pet — but a weak Haribon that loses to your best Baboy should not steal the slot just because the name is famous.
A-tier: Baboy sa Likod Bahay and same-name variance
Baboy sa Likod Bahay appeared with high six-figure $/s reads in the same comparison set. Critically, two same-name entries were not identical: one copy showed about $538K/s, another about $318K/s. That gap is the whole lesson of this page.
Specimen variance means:
- The name on the Index is not a fixed paycheck.
- Two “identical” pets can deserve opposite keep/replace calls.
- When names collide, keep the higher live rate and drop the weaker clone unless you still need Index Claim on the weaker one.
A-tier pets are your workhorses when S-tier is missing. They fund hammer upgrades and extra slots without needing a once-per-week miracle hatch. If both Baboy copies are strong and you have free slots, keep both; if slots are tight, the $538K-class copy stays and the $318K-class copy becomes Index residue.
B-tier: Bubong Pusa and flexible slots
Bubong Pusa showed about $305K/s in the active list from that footage — a solid mid earner and a real named collection entry. B-tier pets are fine while you climb. Use them to:
- Fill empty bakuran slots
- Hold Index progress
- Fund Martilyo purchases
- Practice clean steals without risking your only S-tier
Replace them the moment an A/S specimen lands. Do not get attached to the name if the $/s is mediocre. Bubong Pusa is also a useful “placement prompt” pet in tutorials — the click-in-bakuran hint has appeared with names like this — but tutorial familiarity is not a reason to keep a low earner forever.
C-tier: Pro Gamer Unggoy fillers
Pro Gamer Unggoy landed near $168K/s in the recorded list — still an earner, still useful for a brand-new account, and still the first pet you should cull once better copies exist. C-tier keeps something equipped so you are never at zero income, but after How to Get Cash upgrades start rolling, C-tier is mostly Index residue and practice carries.
If your entire board is C-tier, do not panic-reroll for Haribon on hour one. Stack Speed, shorten cracks, and climb zones you can finish. A placed Unggoy that survives beats a legendary you dropped at the gate.
Named pets you will hear in tutorials
Placement hints have mentioned names like Gagamba. Tutorial names are not automatic S-tiers. Always open All Pets after placing and read the rate. A funny name with low $/s is still a low earner. Build a personal note of “names I have seen” separately from “names that deserve equipped slots.”
Mutations from update footage: Galactic, Universal, Rainbow
Update and Admin Abuse recordings after early November showed mutation-style labels on high earners — players calling out Galactic wraps, a Universal result, and a Rainbow finish in the same session. In one public new-update clip, a Universal read landed around the 400M/s band on that carry, and pushing toward Rainbow on a strong pet produced a ~1.1B/s line on screen before the lobby chaos moved on.
What we will not do here is invent a full multiplier table or hatch percentages the UI never printed in those clips. Treat Galactic / Universal / Rainbow as:
- Real labels players encountered in update footage
- Reasons two same-species pets can diverge wildly
- A reminder to re-read All Pets after every AA or zone drop
If your pet shows a mutation tag, compare its live $/s to your best unequipped normal copy before you assume the tag alone wins. A Rainbow sticker on a weak base can still lose to a clean Haribon-class printer — and the reverse is also true when the mutated specimen is the one printing billions.
Keep versus Claim decision tree
New duck placed?
├─ New Index name? → Claim rewards
├─ Mutation tag + huge $/s jump? → Protect and equip over fillers
├─ $/s > weakest equipped? → Equip it, unequip the weakest
├─ Same name as an owned copy? → Keep the higher rate only (unless free slots)
├─ $/s ≈ mid board? → Keep if you have free slots, else bank Index only
└─ $/s clearly low? → Keep only until Claim, then free the slot
How to find better pets faster
- Redeem Speed and Cash codes so you can reach higher Luck zones safely.
- Upgrade Martilyo Power for more hatches per hour — Hatching Baluts.
- Master clean returns — How to Steal and Protect Base once your board is worth defending.
- Learn the live ladder on Zones Map instead of force-entering a gate you cannot finish.
- Watch Updates and Admin Abuse windows for mutation spikes and new Index names.
- Optional: review Scripts if you accept the account risk of automation.
Sample bakuran goals
- Hour 1: any five earners equipped, hammer upgraded once
- Day 1: no C-tier left equipped if A-tier copies exist
- After a Baboy double: keep the higher $/s specimen, Claim the name once
- Post-update / AA night: re-check every slot for Galactic / Universal / Rainbow tags and reshuffle

Best pets are not a static poster. They are whatever All Pets sorts to the top after your last clean steal — Haribon at $3.5M/s yesterday, a Rainbow printer at 1.1B/s on update night, or a humble Baboy that simply out-earns everything else you own today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for codes, steals, pets, and updates.
What is the best pet in Steal A Balut?
Whatever specimen currently shows the highest trustworthy $/s in your All Pets list. A Haribon near $3.5M/s led early public comparisons, but live numbers win.
Should I keep two pets with the same name?
Only if both rates are strong and you have slots. Baboy sa Likod Bahay copies differed by hundreds of thousands of $/s in footage — keep the higher one.
Are Index pets always good earners?
No. Index tracks names. Income tracks $/s. Claim, then unequip weak ones.
When should I replace a pet?
When a new place shows a higher $/s than your weakest equipped earner and you need that slot for income mode.
What do Galactic, Universal, and Rainbow mean?
They are mutation-style labels seen in update footage. One clip showed Universal around 400M/s and Rainbow near 1.1B/s on strong pets — always verify on your All Pets screen instead of assuming a fixed wiki multiplier.
