The latest Tap Simulator Lunar Update introduces World 5, the Lunar Egg, and the ultra-rare Secret X Neon Cat with a staggering 1 in 100 million hatch rate. In this guide, we’ll explain how to get the Neon Cat in Tap Simulator, where to find the Gem Merchant, how Totems work, and the best hatching strategies to maximize your luck.
How to Get the Secret X Neon Cat in Tap Simulator
The core of the Lunar Update is the arrival of the Neon Cat, the first pet of the Secret X rarity.
Secret X: An ultra-rare pet tier with significantly higher stats than standard secret pets.
With a hatch chance of 1 in 100,000,000, it has quickly become the most coveted item for collectors. This pet offers a massive 500 million clicks per tap, potentially valuing it at over 20,000 tokens in the player economy.
While the odds are daunting, the Lunar Egg is the only place to find this feline powerhouse. Even if you miss the Secret X, the egg contains other powerful rewards, such as the Golden Eternal Moon, which provides a formidable boost for those still progressing through the later worlds.
| Pet Name | Rarity | Hatch Chance |
| Neon Cat | Secret X | 1 in 100,000,000 |
| Golden Eternal Moon | Rare | 1 in 32 |
| Moon Warden | Common | Standard |
| Starlight Deity | Common | Standard |
World 5 Lunar Update Overview
Players can now travel to World 5 (Lunar) via the rocket portal. This new space-themed area features floating islands, crystalline structures, and a new rebirth shop offering expanded jump heights. While the map features a large decorative meteor, the primary attraction remains the Lunar Egg station located near the world entrance.
The Gem Merchant and Totem Mechanics
A new traveling Gem Merchant NPC now appears in World 1 approximately every 25 minutes. This merchant is a critical resource for high-level players, stocking limited quantities of:
- Tier II Potions: Consumable items that provide temporary boosts to luck, taps, or rebirths.
- The newly introduced Totems.
Totem of Clicks
One of the most valuable items is the Totem of Clicks.
Effect: A placeable item that grants an Area-of-Effect (AoE) buff to all nearby players.
When deployed, it creates a visible radius that increases the click power of every player within range by 25%. These totems last for 10 minutes, making them ideal for coordinated group grinding sessions.
Best Strategies to Hatch Secret Pets in Tap Simulator
To maximize your chances of hitting those 1 in 100 million odds, top-tier players are utilizing several stacking Multipliers.
Multipliers: Stat modifiers that increase your total gains or luck by a specific factor.
If you are serious about the Neon Cat, consider the following strategy:
The Ultimate Hatching Strategy
- AFK Grinding: Use multiple AFK alt accounts to hatch the Lunar Egg 24/7.
AFK: "Away From Keyboard"—passive progress made while you aren't actively playing.
- Server Luck: Purchase and stack Server Luck boosts to reach up to an 8x luck increase.
- Secret Hunter Pass: This new Gamepass makes hatching secret pets 30% easier.
Gamepass: A permanent perk or item purchased with Robux.
- Essential Perks: Hardcore hatching requires the Octo Hatch and Fast Hatch perks. Without them, the 1 in 100M odds are nearly impossible to overcome.

This system is expected to launch within 20 hours of the initial update, providing a formal platform for players to bid on and sell their rarest pets, including the new Secret X variants.
