The Travelling Trader event in Plants Vs Brainrots is all about battling special enemies called Blimped Brainrots that show up every few minutes in your garden. Each one you defeat drops 10 tickets, which you can spend in the Travelling Trader shop on Central Island to grab exclusive items. But here’s the catch: every time you buy an item, its price goes up, so you need to plan your purchases carefully.
Here’s how the event works and how to get the most out of it
This event runs from January 25 to 31, 2026 (UTC) and comes with a new season called Admin Abuse, plus fresh plants, brainrots, and gear. The Travelling Trader is a floating ship vendor on Central Island, so make sure your garden is strong and your plant damage is balanced before you start.
Your main goal is simple: defeat as many Blimped Brainrots as possible to collect tickets. The more tickets you have, the better your chances to buy rare and useful items from the shop.
The shop’s prices increase only for the item you buy, not for others. For example, if you buy the Trader Lucky Block once for 50 tickets, its price will jump to 68 tickets the next time you want it. This means you can’t just buy everything at once without thinking.
Here’s what you can buy and their starting ticket prices:
| Image | Item | Starting price (tickets) |
|---|---|---|
 |
Speed Bag | 25 |
 |
Targeting Drone | 160 |
 |
Trader Lucky Block | 50 |
 |
Potion Pouch | 100 |
 |
Glideberry Seed | 220 |
 |
Captain Toucatira Brainrot | 50 |
 |
Reset All Shop Prices | 200 |
The Trader Lucky Block is special because it can give you different creatures with these chances:
- Atomico Pigatonni (1%)
- La Skyllio (9%)
- Boil Bolino (35%)
- Screwaroni (55%)
The Potion Pouch contains a mix of potions with these chances:
- Witch Potion (15%)
- Size Potion (15%)
- Riot Potion (15%)
- Pine Tree Potion (15%)
- Fire Potion (15%)
- Biggify Potion (25%)
If prices get too high, you can buy the Reset All Shop Prices option for 200 tickets. This resets all item prices back to their original cost so you can buy more without paying extra.
Here’s a step-by-step plan to tackle the event:
- Defeat Blimped Brainrots as often as possible. They spawn every few minutes in your garden and each one drops 10 tickets. Strengthen your garden to farm efficiently, even AFK if you can.
- Check the Travelling Trader shop regularly to see prices and available items.
- Buy the items you really want first since their prices will rise after each purchase.
- If prices get too high and you want more items, buy the reset option to bring prices back down.
- Keep farming and spending tickets wisely until the event ends.
Note: Don’t waste tickets on items you won’t use. Make a list of your priorities before spending to get the best value.
This event is a great chance to add unique items and creatures to your collection while enjoying some exciting battles. With a bit of planning and steady farming, you’ll finish with a solid haul and some new favorites.
