The Turtle is a Tier 4 Pet, available in the Turtle Pack. When the Turtle faints, it gives the nearest friend behind it Melon perk, overriding the Food Perk or Ailment they had previously. When levelled up, the Turtle's ability will give Melon perk to more friends behind.

Strategy

Turtle is a very versatile pet, most commonly put directly ahead of the pet with the highest attack/health in the team. This often means it'll be the front-most pet while the strongest pet is in the second position. This accomplishes 3 things:

1. Refreshing the team's Melon: Start of battle snipers like Mosquito and Leopard can strip the team off Melon perks. Turtle can counter that by giving Melon during the battle instead.
2. Breaking the enemy's Melon: A common strategy is having a strong pet in front with a defensive food perk. If that perk was Melon, Turtle will pop it and allows our strong pet now with Melon to face against one without Melon.
3. Countering Scorpion: Similarly, Scorpion is usually in front and will be knocked out by our Turtle.

All of these are enhanced by the fact that Turtle will almost never waste its triggers. If the friend behind it has already had Melon, it will simply skip that friend and give Melon to ones further behind. Which means buying Melon onto friends behind Turtle will only make the team stronger, and a level 2 Turtle with Mushroom will give 4 Melons, enough to cover the entire team.

Another use for Turtle would be Pilling it to gain early access to Melon.

Custom packs

By combining all of this with a pet like the Elephant Seal or the Axolotl, you can gain massive amounts of stats whenever your turtle faints. Another strategy would be to combine the Turtle with Microbe or Pandoras Box from Bad Dog. Pandoras Box will give your whole team perks/ailments, but none of them will matter because the Turtle will replace all of those bad perks/ailments with Melon.
