Every pet upgrade cost and max level at Town Hall 18

Pets are upgraded in the Pet House, which runs separately from the Laboratory, so pet upgrades never slow down your troops. They all cost Dark Elixir, which they share with your heroes.

Longest pets to max (days from level 1)

Which pets to max first?

Pets compete with heroes for Dark Elixir. A common approach is to max the pets your main attack strategy uses first (for example the one paired with your Queen), and leave rarely used pets for when you're Dark Elixir-rich.
