One of the most exciting upgrades you can give a pet in Adopt Me is the ability to ride or fly it. Ride and Fly Pets aren't separate species instead, they're regular pets that have been enhanced using special potions. These upgrades not only make traveling around the map more enjoyable but also increase a pet's appeal in the trading market.

For many new players, seeing someone flying on a Shadow Dragon or riding a Neon Unicorn raises an important question: How do you get Ride and Fly Pets? Fortunately, there are several methods, ranging from purchasing potions with Robux to trading with other players or obtaining already upgraded pets through events and exchanges.

It's important to understand that not every pet should automatically receive a Ride or Fly Potion. Because these potions have real value, using them wisely can significantly improve your inventory and trading opportunities. Experienced players often save their potions for high demand pets rather than using them on common companions.

In this guide, you'll learn exactly how Ride and Fly Pets work, how to obtain the required potions, when it's worth using them, and how to avoid common mistakes that many beginners make.

What Are Ride & Fly Pets?

Ride and Fly Pets are simply pets that have received a permanent upgrade.

There are three possible upgrade combinations:

• Ride Pet   Can be ridden by your character.

• Fly Pet   Can fly around the map.

• Ride + Fly Pet   Can both fly and be ridden.

Once a potion has been used on a pet, the upgrade remains permanently attached.

These upgraded pets are often more desirable in trades because players don't need to purchase the potions themselves.

What Is a Ride Potion?

A Ride Potion permanently allows one pet to be ridden.

After using the potion:

• Your character can ride the pet.

• The effect never expires.

• The potion cannot be recovered.

• The upgrade stays even after trading the pet.

Ride Potions are popular because they improve both gameplay convenience and trading value.

What Is a Fly Potion?

A Fly Potion permanently gives a pet the ability to fly.

After applying it:

• The pet can fly around the map.

• The effect is permanent.

• It transfers with the pet if traded.

• It can be combined with a Ride Potion.

Many players use Fly Potions on their favorite Legendary or event exclusive pets because flying makes exploration faster and often increases trade demand.

How to Get Ride Potions

The most common way to obtain a Ride Potion is through the in game shop using Robux.

However, this isn't the only option.

Other methods include:

• Trading with other players.

• Trading directly for Ride Pets.

• Limited time bundles (when available).

• Special promotions or events.

If you don't want to spend Robux, trading is usually the best alternative.

How to Get Fly Potions

Fly Potions are obtained in very similar ways.

Players can:

• Purchase them from the in game shop.

• Trade for Fly Potions.

• Trade for already upgraded Fly Pets.

• Obtain them through special promotional bundles if available.

Since Fly Potions are generally considered valuable, many traders exchange them directly for pets instead of applying them immediately.

Should You Use Potions or Trade Them?

This is one of the biggest decisions players face.

Using a potion immediately is fun, but it isn't always the most profitable choice.

Before using one, ask yourself:

• Is this pet valuable?

• Will adding Ride or Fly increase its demand?

• Would trading the potion itself give me a better return?

• Am I planning to keep this pet long term?

Many experienced traders actually trade unused Ride and Fly Potions because they're consistently in demand.

Best Pets to Use Ride & Fly Potions On

Not every pet is worth upgrading with a Ride or Fly Potion. Since these potions have real trading value, it's usually better to use them on pets that are already popular or difficult to obtain.

Some of the best candidates include:

• Legendary pets

• Event exclusive pets

• Limited time pets

• High demand trading pets

• Neon or Mega Neon pets

Adding a Ride or Fly ability to these pets often makes them even more attractive to collectors and traders.

For example, applying a Ride Potion to a retired Legendary pet usually provides far more value than using it on a Common pet that's easy to hatch.

Before using a potion, consider whether you're upgrading a long term favorite or creating a stronger trading asset.

Do Ride & Fly Pets Increase Trading Value?

In most cases, yes.

Ride and Fly pets are generally worth more than their regular versions because the upgrade itself has value.

However, the increase isn't always the same.

Several factors influence how much extra value an upgraded pet gains:

• Base rarity of the pet

• Current trading demand

• Whether it's retired

• Event exclusivity

• Neon or Mega Neon status

• Community popularity

For example, adding both Ride and Fly abilities to a highly sought after Legendary pet usually increases its value much more than upgrading a Common pet.

Keep in mind that trading values change over time as new updates introduce different pets and events.

Can You Remove a Ride or Fly Potion?

No.

Once a Ride Potion or Fly Potion has been used, the effect becomes permanent.

You cannot:

• Remove the upgrade.

• Transfer it to another pet.

• Recover the potion.

• Sell the potion separately after use.

Because of this, it's important to think carefully before applying either potion.

Many players regret using valuable potions on pets they later trade away.

Common Mistakes Players Make

New players often waste valuable Ride and Fly Potions.

Here are some of the biggest mistakes to avoid.

Using Potions on Low Value Pets

While you should always play however you enjoy, using expensive potions on pets with very low trading demand may not be the best long term investment.

Using Potions Immediately

Some players buy a potion and instantly use it without considering whether trading the potion itself would provide better value.

Ride and Fly Potions are highly desired trading items.

Sometimes keeping them unopened is the smarter decision.

Ignoring Trading Values

Just because a pet can Ride or Fly doesn't automatically make it extremely valuable.

Always compare current market values before making large trades.

Forgetting About Future Updates

Limited time pets often become more valuable after events end.

Saving a potion for a future high demand pet may produce better long term results than using it immediately.

Advanced Tips Used by Experienced Traders

Experienced players treat Ride and Fly Potions almost like a currency.

Instead of automatically upgrading pets, they ask:

• Which pets currently have the highest demand?

• Which event pets are likely to become valuable?

• Should I trade the potion instead?

• Would Ride only be enough?

• Is Fly necessary?

Many veteran traders also save several Ride and Fly Potions before major updates.

When new Legendary or event exclusive pets are released, upgraded versions often become highly desirable immediately after launch.

Planning ahead gives experienced players a significant advantage
