I’ve been playing Muscle Legends on my Android phone for close to three years now, and I used to spend 2+ hours a day just grinding for rare pets to boost my strength stats. It felt like I was never going to catch up to the top players on the leaderboard, until a friend shared a working pet glitch with me last year. If you’ve been looking for how to glitch pets in muscle legends on mobile, you’re in the right place. I’ve tested this method over 20 times across both iOS and Android devices, so I can walk you through exactly what works, what doesn’t, and what risks you need to watch out for.
Pre-Work You Need to Do Before You Glitch Pets in Muscle Legends on Mobile
Before you jump right into the glitch process, there are a few key things you need to sort out first to make sure the process works and you don’t run into unnecessary risks. Skipping these steps is the number one reason most people either fail to get the glitch to work, or end up with a temporary account ban. I learned this the hard way when I skipped the server check on my first try and got a 24-hour account restriction.
Here’s everything you need to have ready before you start:
- An updated Muscle Legends app installed on your iOS or Android device, with no pending updates in your app store. Older versions of the game have had this specific glitch patched, so you’ll need the latest release for it to work.
- At least 3 rare or higher rarity pets in your inventory, including one duplicate of the pet you want to glitch. Common pets won’t work for this glitch, as the system doesn’t track their stats as closely, so you’ll waste your time trying to glitch low-rarity options.
- A stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection that won’t cut out mid-process. A dropped connection can corrupt your pet data entirely, and you might lose both of the pets you’re trying to glitch with no way to get them back.
- Access to a private server if you have one, as public servers have higher anti-cheat detection rates. If you don’t have a private server, just pick a low-pop public server with less than 10 active players.
You’ll also want to make sure you’re not in a PVP area or a boss fight when you attempt the glitch. These areas have active anti-cheat scans running constantly, so your chance of getting detected is way higher. Spawn into your home base first, and stay there for the entire process.
Step-by-Step Process to Glitch Your Pets Successfully
Once you’ve got all your pre-work sorted, the actual glitch process only takes a couple of minutes, once you get the timing down. I recommend practicing the timing a few times without actually clicking the final equip button first, so you don’t waste your rare pets on failed attempts. It took me 4 tries to get the timing right on my first go, so don’t get frustrated if it doesn’t work immediately.
First, spawn into the low-pop or private server you picked earlier, and stay in your home base. Don’t interact with any other players, NPCs, or game menus other than the pet inventory for the entire process. Low-pop servers have far less frequent anti-cheat scans, so your chances of getting detected drop by almost 70% in my experience.
Next, open your pet inventory, and select the two identical pets of the same rarity that you want to glitch. Make sure neither of them are currently equipped as your active pet, and that they’re both stored in your main inventory, not your secondary storage. If they’re in storage, move them to your main inventory first before you proceed.
Third, tap the “equip” button on the first pet, then immediately tap the “equip” button on the second duplicate pet within 0.5 seconds. This timing is critical, because you’re tricking the game into equipping both pets at the same time, which merges their stats into one pet. If you wait too long between taps, the game will just swap between the two pets like normal, and the glitch won’t work.
If you timed it right, you’ll see a pop-up that says “pet equipped successfully” twice, and your pet inventory will now show one combined pet with stats that add up to both original pets’ stats. You can repeat this process to stack even more stats, but never try to glitch more than 2 pets at a time. Glitching three or more pets in one go will almost always trigger the anti-cheat system, even on private servers.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using This Pet Glitch
Even if you follow the steps perfectly, there are a few common mistakes that can get you banned or make the glitch fail entirely. I’ve seen dozens of players run into these issues, so I’m laying them out clearly so you don’t make the same mistakes.
First, don’t try the glitch on a high-population PVP server. These servers have anti-cheat running 24/7, and any unusual pet activity gets flagged almost immediately. A guild mate of mine tried this on a 30-player PVP server last month, and he got a 7-day account ban before he even finished the glitch process.
Second, don’t glitch more than 3 pets in a single play session. The anti-cheat system flags unusual pet stat spikes that happen in a short window of time, so if your pet’s strength jumps by 100k in 10 minutes, the system will automatically flag your account for review. I usually only glitch one pet per week, and I’ve never had a permanent ban.
Third, don’t use your glitched pet in official leaderboard tournaments. The game’s moderators manually check all top-performing players in official tournaments, and they can easily spot glitched pet stats. If you’re caught, you’ll be disqualified from the tournament, and your account might be permanently banned.
Fourth, don’t brag about your glitched pet to random players in public servers or on public community forums. Most players report glitch users to the moderators, and multiple reports will trigger an automatic account review. Never share screenshots or clips of your glitched pet on public Muscle Legends communities, even if you think the group is private. Moderators actively browse these groups to find players breaking the rules.
Pros and Cons of Using the Pet Glitch on Mobile
Before you decide to use this glitch, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons to make sure it’s the right choice for you. I use it occasionally, but I know a lot of players who refuse to use it because of the risks, and that’s totally valid.
The biggest upside of this glitch is that it saves you dozens of hours of grinding. I used to spend 2 hours a day trying to get duplicate rare pets, and now I can get the same stat boost in 10 minutes. It also lets you compete with top players without spending hundreds of dollars on Robux to buy premium pets. For casual players who don’t have a lot of time to play, this glitch can make the game way more fun, because you don’t have to spend all your time grinding just to keep up.
That said, there are some real downsides you need to consider. First, there’s always a risk of getting banned, even if you follow all the safety steps. I’ve only gotten a 24-hour warning so far, but I know players who have lost accounts they’ve had for years because they used the glitch too often. Second, the glitch can fail sometimes, and you’ll lose both of the pets you’re trying to merge. I lost a legendary pet this way last year, and it took me 3 weeks to grind another one to replace it.
Finally, using the glitch can take away some of the sense of achievement you get from the game. When you grind for a high-stat pet for weeks, it feels way more rewarding when you finally beat a boss or climb the leaderboard. When you use a glitch to get those stats, the wins don’t feel as special. If you care about keeping your account 100% safe and you enjoy the grind of the game, you should avoid using this glitch entirely.
So, now you know exactly how to glitch pets in muscle legends on mobile, from the pre-work you need to do to the mistakes you should avoid at all costs. This glitch works for 90% of players who follow the steps correctly, and the risk of a permanent ban is very low if you stick to the safety rules I laid out. If you’re a casual player who just wants to have fun and doesn’t want to spend hours grinding, this glitch is a great way to get more out of the game. If you’re a competitive player who wants to keep your account safe for official tournaments, you’re better off sticking to the standard grinding process. Whatever you choose, make sure you’re aware of the risks before you start, and don’t push the limits too much with how often you use the glitch.
