So I adopted a Uni today

[KaylaTheHedgehog]

I recently managed to secure access to the secret lab, and I'm going to start zapping poundees in the hope that someone will want to adopt them.

 

I recently adopted a Blue Uni, and I'm curious as to what colors I should shoot for. Is there somewhere I could go to see what the popular colors are for certain species?

[Viridian]

I don't know of a place where you can see popular colours, but this is Neopets' own place where you can see all the colours:

Some colours cannot be zapped, and some are the exact opposite and can only be gained through the lab ray :)

Personally, if you're gonna zap for color than I would zap till you get any color change(thats not green,red,yellow,blue). In my experience it take months sometimes before you see a color change at all.

 

Good luck zapping! i also love adopting pets and zapping for color :)

[The Bandit]

um... it shouldn't take months - I normally get one or two colour changes per month :)

 

But it is true that the idea of aiming for something specific is pretty much impossible - just be grateful for anything good that you get. After all, you've got as much chance of it changing species as you have of it changing colour.

I was aware that there are some non-lab and lab-only colors.

 

So, the general rule is that if it's not one of the basic colors (red, blue, green, yellow), there's some demand for pretty much any color?

I <3 Uni's!!

 

There are some really awesome colors for the Uni (halloween, WOODLAND, robot,WATER, etc.)

And some awful ones (glowing, not a fan of baby)

The best thing is, some of the colors that aren't normally the best (brown, spotted, etc.) look quite nice on the uni (its basically a horse)

 

Because of this, most color changes you get after the standard ones, will be OK

You cant exactly aim for a color with the labray

Anyways, good luck

I hope you are lucky and zap a Woodland :)

 

Oh and if you zap a brown one..... pm me plz ;)

[Angeló]

in my opinion the best colors for Uni are

 

- Maraquan

 

- Water

 

- Maractite

 

- Halloween

 

- Woodland

 

- Royal (but this one isn't available from the lab)

[Zephyr]

That's really kind of you :)

 

I'd suggest checking out adoption agencies like ZYDP (& their affiliates to go to more such places) to get a feel of what people are wishing for.

They're also a great starting place to look for potential new homes :)

Off the top of my head, I'd say Woodland is the popular one for Uni.

 

If anyone is interested, I'm zapping an Usul & she's just become silver :ph34r:

I've already bookmarked Lost and Pound, so that when I adopt out one pet, I can find another one to adopt. I figured I've already got personalities for all the pets on my main, not to mention that I've already filled all four slots. So, I made a side account for the lab. I thought about transferring one of my current pets to it, but I was able to secure a great name for a Blue Peophin so I jumped on it. She's now the official welcoming committee, even though she's probably gonna be younger than any pet I adopt.

 

Lost and Pound is a very nice site if anyone wants to use to look for potential zappees. You can sort the pets by species or by how long they've been in the pound. _mery (that's the Uni's name) was one of the oldest pets in the pound, so I couldn't pass her up.

 

By the way, do you need to be Neofriends with someone in order to do a transfer, or do you just need the user's name? Also, does it have to be a pet-for-pet trade, or could I just transfer the pet for free?

I love doing Poundee zapping! I do it all the time, but right now I'm waiting to UTU a robot Kacheek so I can resume the fun. I've zapped a Uni to disco and one to skunk. I re-Pounded the disco one and kept the skunk.

[karmacow]

You don't need to be neofriends in order to transfer a pet, and the recipient does not need to transfer a pet to you in order to receive yours :)

[KaylaTheHedgehog]

^ Yay! That means I won't have to worry about filling up a slot after trading.

[Guest JussttBre]

I would just go with anything that isn't a basic color and looks nice. There's at least one person that will like it

[Bodhi]

Remember that when you Pound, clothing/decor that is part of the colour (robot, desert, etc) stays with you.

[KaylaTheHedgehog]

I'm not taking any chances with the pound. Especially if I get something like robot. It'll disappear the second it entered the pound.
