The Groundhog is a Tier 1 Pet, available in the Golden Pack. When it faints, it will increase your teams Trumpets by a small amount. Levelling up the Groundhog increases the amount of Trumpets contributed upon faint.

Strategy

Within the Trumpet archetype the Groundhog is rather limited in how much it contributes beyond very early game synergies with other pets like the Pied Tamarin and Squid which have very low Trumpet cost requirements. Surgeon Fish is also another early option but the Groundhog would need to be Level 2 and would be outclassed by the Black Necked Stilt.

Outside of Trumpet synergies the Groundhog serves a similar role to the Cricket as a Tier 1 that summons a 1/1, 2/2 or 3/3 depending on level although the Groundhogs base stats are arguably better and make it more likely to trade with another Tier 1 pet even without taking the Golden Retriever into account.

Keep in mind that the Black Necked Stilt's ability is a direct upgrade to the Groundhog's, contributing double the amount of Trumpets upon faint. As such it will often be more gold efficient to take a Stilt over investing in leveling up the Groundhog - make decisions accordingly.
