Adopt Me Value Changes: Silverback Gorilla Triples Again, Panda Cap Keeps Sliding (August 20, 2026)

The AMC database just refreshed again, and this time the story is less about one enormous spike and more about follow-through — 118 Adopt Me values moved in this update (79 up, 39 down), two brand-new pets joined the tracked list, and one pet from our mid-August update is still climbing. If you traded off numbers from even a few days ago, several of them are already stale. Here's the full before-and-after picture from today's refresh, straight from the same dataset that powers the Adopt Me calculator on this site.

Biggest Movers This Update

Figures compare the AMC database immediately before and after this specific update — not a projection. Two very low-value items, Sea Monster Friend Hat and Bonus Bucks Potion, were also removed from tracking this update. See the live number in the Adopt Me trade calculator for anything not listed here.

The Silverback Gorilla Saga Keeps Going

This is now the third update in a row where Silverback Gorilla is the headline story, and it's becoming one of the clearest examples of how fast Adopt Me values can move when demand builds. In our first value-changes post it was the notable loser, sliding from 9.5 down to 8. By the mid-August update it had more than doubled to 17. Since then it kept climbing quietly to 30, and in today's refresh it jumped again — from 30 to 55, an 83.3% gain in a single update. Stack the mid-August number against today's and Silverback Gorilla has more than tripled in roughly two weeks. If you're holding one, don't price it off anything you saw before this week.

Panda Cap Keeps Cooling Off

Panda Cap was the biggest single move this site has ever tracked when it jumped 264.6% in the mid-August update, hitting a peak of 1,750. It's now given back ground for a second straight update — first settling to 1,100, and now sliding again to 1,000. That's still nearly double its pre-spike value, so this isn't a full reversal, but the pattern is clear: after a spike that large, a correction over the following updates is normal. Anyone trading a Panda Cap right now should treat 1,000 as the current number, not the 1,750 peak some traders may still remember.

Bee-Themed Pet Wear Drops Across the Board

Three items with the same visual theme all fell together this update: Buzzing Honeypot Hat (-20.5%), Hive Backpack (-21.0%), and Queen Bee Slippers (-22.0%). When several related items move the same direction by roughly the same margin in one update, it's rarely a coincidence — it usually points to a demand shift across the whole theme rather than three unrelated one-off changes. If your inventory includes any bee-set pet wear, re-check the current number in the calculator before offering it as part of a trade, since all three lost roughly a fifth of their value at once.

Candy Cannon Gives Back Its Gain

Candy Cannon was one of the featured risers in our earlier August update, gaining 14.5% that round. This update it reversed, dropping 7.5% to 333. That's a useful reminder for anyone reading these updates as a trend line: a single update's gain isn't a guarantee the item keeps climbing. Values move in both directions, and an item that rose two updates ago can just as easily give part of it back in the next one.

Two New Pets Enter the Database

Tuxedo Cat and Chihuahua both appeared in the tracked list for the first time this update, starting at 1.88 and 1.33 respectively. Values that low are typical for a freshly added pet — there isn't enough trade history yet for the community to have settled on a stable price, so new additions usually start near the bottom of the common tier and move as actual trades happen. If you pick either one up, don't assume it's worth more than a low common-tier item yet; check the current figure in the Adopt Me trading values calculator before trading it for anything meaningful.

What to Do With This Information

Out of 3,323 tracked items, 118 moved in this single update — a reminder that "current" values only stay current for a matter of days on an actively traded item. If you're holding a Silverback Gorilla, a Panda Cap, or any bee-themed pet wear, the number you remember from last week is already out of date. Add your exact items to the Adopt Me trade calculator rather than trading off memory, and if you want to see how current trading values compare across an entire category, the full value list lets you browse by type before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest story in this update? Silverback Gorilla, up 83.3% to 55 — its third consecutive update with a major gain, more than tripling since mid-August.

Is Panda Cap still worth trading for? Yes, at 1,000 it's still well above its pre-spike value, but it has now cooled for two updates straight from its 1,750 peak.

Why did three bee-themed pet wear items drop at once? Buzzing Honeypot Hat, Hive Backpack, and Queen Bee Slippers all fell roughly 20-22% together, which usually signals a demand shift across the whole theme rather than three separate coincidences.

Are Tuxedo Cat and Chihuahua worth much yet? Not yet — both entered the database at low common-tier values, which is normal for a pet with no trading history behind it.

How does this compare to the mid-August update? That update skewed almost entirely toward gains, led by Panda Cap's massive spike. This one is more mixed — 79 items up and 39 down — with Silverback Gorilla as the standout gainer and Panda Cap now correcting.
