Adopt Me Value Changes: Silverback Gorilla's Streak Snaps, Panda Cap Falls Below 1,000 (August 30, 2026)

The AMC database just refreshed again, and this update flips two storylines we've been tracking for weeks. 80 Adopt Me values moved this round (58 up, 22 down), the tracked list grew to 3,326 items, and the two pets that have dominated our last few update posts — Silverback Gorilla and Panda Cap — both cooled off at once instead of one climbing while the other corrected. Here's the full before-and-after picture, pulled straight from the same live data behind the Adopt Me trading values calculator on this site.

Biggest Movers This Update

Figures compare the AMC database immediately before and after this specific update. Sea Monster Friend Hat and Bonus Bucks Potion — two items pulled from tracking in a previous update for being nearly worthless — have also returned to the database, both still sitting at symbolic values under 0.05. See the live number in the Adopt Me calculator for anything not listed here.

Silverback Gorilla's Streak Finally Snaps

This is the pet we've now covered in three consecutive update posts, and for the first time in that stretch it's the one giving ground instead of gaining it. It slid from 9.5 to 8 in our very first value-changes post, more than doubled to 17 by mid-August, climbed quietly to 30, then jumped again to 55 in the last update. Today it dropped 25.5% to 41. That's still more than double its mid-August value and nowhere close to a full reversal, but after three straight updates of gains, this is the clearest sign yet that the run-up has peaked and buyers are no longer chasing it at 55.

Panda Cap Drops Below 1,000 for the First Time Since Its Spike

Panda Cap's story has been a slow, steady cool-down since its record-setting 264.6% spike to 1,750 in mid-August. It settled to 1,100, then 1,000, and now — for the first time since that spike happened — it's fallen under the 1,000 mark entirely, down 20% to 800. It's worth keeping some perspective here: 800 is still 66.7% above its pre-spike value of 480, so this isn't Panda Cap becoming worthless, just three straight updates of a genuine spike returning to something closer to earth.

Bee-Themed Pet Wear Falls for a Third Straight Update

Buzzing Honeypot Hat, Hive Backpack, and Queen Bee Slippers all dropped together again this update, continuing the exact trend we flagged last time. Each has now fallen in back-to-back updates, and the cumulative effect is significant — Buzzing Honeypot Hat alone has lost roughly a third of its value across the two drops combined. If your inventory has any bee-themed pet wear left over from before this slide started, it's worth re-checking the current number rather than assuming it's held steady.

Candy Cannon's Slow Bleed Continues

Candy Cannon gained 14.5% in our original August update post, then reversed and dropped 7.5% last time, and now it's down again — 9.9% this update, to 300. Three updates, three different directions, and a useful real-world example of why "it went up once" is never a reason to assume an item keeps climbing. Check the current trading values calculator figure before pricing anything off a number from a few updates back.

Quiet Risers Worth Noticing: Velocirooster, Ice Golem, and Jousting Horse

While the two headline pets cooled off, a handful of smaller, lower-value pets posted some of the biggest percentage gains of the entire update — Velocirooster jumped 73.3%, Ice Golem climbed 57.1%, and Jousting Horse rose 37.5%. None of these are big enough numbers to make headlines the way Silverback Gorilla or Panda Cap do, but percentage-wise they moved more than either one. These are exactly the kind of changes a trader checking values only occasionally would miss entirely.

Two New Pets Debut Well Above the Usual Starting Price

Strawberry Tortle and Kiwi Kiwi both entered the tracked list this update at 55 and 9.5 respectively — a notably stronger debut than the last batch of new pets, Tuxedo Cat and Chihuahua, which started at 1.88 and 1.33 in the previous update. A new pet opening well above common-tier pricing usually points to stronger early demand than usual, though as always with a freshly added pet, there isn't enough trade history yet to call these numbers fully settled.

What to Do With This Information

Out of 3,326 tracked items, 80 moved this update — a smaller shakeup than the last two rounds, but the two biggest names on the list both reversed direction at once, which is exactly the kind of change that catches traders off guard if they're still working off last week's numbers. If you're holding a Silverback Gorilla, a Panda Cap, or any bee-themed pet wear, don't price it off what you remember — add it to the Adopt Me trade calculator and check the current figure before your next trade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest story in this update? Silverback Gorilla dropping 25.5% to 41, ending a three-update run of consecutive gains, while Panda Cap fell below 1,000 for the first time since its spike.

Is Silverback Gorilla still worth trading for? It's still worth well more than its mid-August price of 17, but the 55-to-41 drop suggests the recent run-up has cooled — check the current figure before assuming it's still climbing.

Is Panda Cap still worth the same as before? No — at 800 it's down from 1,000, though still comfortably above its 480 pre-spike value.

Why do bee-themed pet wear items keep dropping? Buzzing Honeypot Hat, Hive Backpack, and Queen Bee Slippers have now fallen in two consecutive updates, which typically signals a broader demand shift across the whole set rather than three unrelated coincidences.

Are the new pets, Strawberry Tortle and Kiwi Kiwi, worth much? They opened notably higher than the last set of new pets, but values for freshly added pets can still move quickly once real trade history builds up.
