To breed Pummel in My Singing Monsters, put an Oaktopus and a Noggin (the two parents) in the Breeding Structure on Plant Island or Water Island. Pummel is the result. Fwog + Potbelly and Shrubb + Toe Jammer work too, on both islands. A Pummel egg shows a 12 hour timer (9h enhanced), and no combo is guaranteed. Below you’ll find every combo as Parent 1 + Parent 2 = Result, a timer table, Rare and Epic Pummel, the Dawn of Fire version and Pummel’s likes.

Quick answer
- Best combo: Oaktopus + Noggin = Pummel, on Plant Island and Water Island. A failure that gives a Noggin hatches in 5 seconds, so you can try again almost at once.
- Other combos: Fwog + Potbelly = Pummel (a close second) and Shrubb + Toe Jammer = Pummel. Both also work on Plant and Water Island.
- Breeding time: 12h. Enhanced: 9h. Skin boost: 10h 48m. Enhanced and boosted: 7h 48m. Incubation takes as long again.
- Elements: Plant, Earth and Water. Each combo splits those three elements between the two parents.
- Unlocks at: level 9. Needs 3 beds and a 2×2 spot. You can also buy it for 50 Diamonds.
- Not on Earth, Cold or Air Island: among the Natural Islands, Pummel only lives on Plant and Water.
- Rare and Epic Pummel: not available right now. Both were last on sale in the “Everything Here Is Alive!” promotion (all Plant Island Rares and Epics), which ended on November 2. The wiki’s live tracker listed no Rare or Epic monsters outside Seasonals and the Fire Expansion at 10:02 UTC on November 4, 2026.

How to breed Pummel on Plant Island and Water Island
Pummel is a Natural Triple, so element maths works: the two parents need Plant, Earth and Water between them, and nothing else. The My Singing Monsters Wiki lists three combos on the Pummel page. We checked each one against the “Used in Breeding” table on both parents’ pages, and every row there gives Pummel as the result on Plant Island and Water Island:
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 | Result | Islands | Time (enhanced) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oaktopus (Plant, Water) | Noggin (Earth) | Pummel | Plant, Water | 12h (9h) |
| Fwog (Earth, Water) | Potbelly (Plant) | Pummel | Plant, Water | 12h (9h) |
| Shrubb (Plant, Earth) | Toe Jammer (Water) | Pummel | Plant, Water | 12h (9h) |
Big Blue Bubble doesn’t publish the odds, so pick a pair by how much time a failure costs you. That’s how the wiki ranks them:
- Reach level 9. That’s when Pummel unlocks, and it’s also when Oaktopus unlocks.
- Breed an Oaktopus if you don’t have one. Potbelly + Toe Jammer makes one on Plant Island or Water Island (8h, or 6h enhanced), as our My Singing Monsters breeding chart shows.
- Pair Oaktopus with Noggin. A 12h timer (9h enhanced) means a Pummel.
- Retry fast. A 5 second timer is a Noggin, so clear it and breed again. An 8h timer is an Oaktopus, the slow failure.
- Try Fwog + Potbelly next. Its failures are only 30 minutes (Fwog) or 2 hours (Potbelly), so it stays cheap on average, and Fwog unlocks earlier, at level 7. Shrubb + Toe Jammer is the slowest bet because a Shrubb failure takes 8 hours, even though a Toe Jammer failure takes 1 minute.
- Light Wishing Torches if you have them. The wiki says lit torches raise your chances. It doesn’t say by how much.
- Free up 3 beds and a 2×2 space before the egg hatches. Pummel takes more room than some Triples: Clamble, for example, fits in 1×1.
Plant Island is the free starter island. Water Island opens at level 4 after Air Island and costs 100,000 coins, so most players breed their first Pummel on Plant. The combos and the timer are the same on both islands. The wiki also lists Pummel on Mirror Plant and Mirror Water Island, Gold Island, Tribal Island, The Colossingum (buy for 60 Diamonds) and Composer Island (buy for 8,000 coins).
Pummel breeding time: did you get one?
The Breeding Structure timer tells you what’s inside before it hatches. Every time below comes from that monster’s wiki infobox:
| Timer shows (default) | Enhanced | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1d 7h | 23h 15m | Epic Pummel (only from the Epic pairs below, during sales) |
| 15h 30m | 11h 37m 30s | Rare Pummel (only during sales) |
| 12h | 9h | Pummel |
| 8h | 6h | Oaktopus or Shrubb (a failure) |
| 2h | 1h 30m | Potbelly (a failure) |
| 30m | 22m 30s | Fwog (a failure) |
| 1m | 45s | Toe Jammer (a failure) |
| 5s | 3s | Noggin (a failure) |
At default speed, a Pummel ties up the Breeding Structure for 12 hours and then the Nursery for another 12. The Enhanced Breeding Structure and Enhanced Nursery each cut that by 25%, so with both upgrades you save 6 hours per Pummel.
How to get a second Pummel faster
Once you own one, the wiki’s surest way to copy it is Pummel + Rare Pummel. While Rare Pummel isn’t on sale, that pair gives a Common Pummel every time. Pummel + Entbrat (Plant) and Pummel + Shellbeat (Water) also tend to fail back to a Pummel, with about a 1% chance of an Ethereal (Ghazt or Jeeode). Pummel + Noggin gives a Pummel only now and then, but each Noggin failure takes just 5 seconds.
What does Pummel breed into?
Keep your Pummel after it hatches. It’s a parent of both islands’ Quads and Ethereals, and of two Mythicals. These rows come from the Pummel page, and each result’s own page lists the same pair:
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 | Result | Island | Time (enhanced) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pummel | Mammott | Entbrat (Quad) | Plant | 1d (18h) |
| Pummel | Tweedle | Shellbeat (Quad) | Water | 1d (18h) |
| Pummel | Entbrat | Ghazt (Ethereal) | Plant | 1d 12h (1d 3h) |
| Pummel | Shellbeat | Jeeode (Ethereal) | Water | 1d 12h (1d 3h) |
| Pummel | T-Rox | G’joob (Mythical) | Plant | 18h (13h 30m) |
| Pummel | Scups | Anglow (Mythical) | Water | 1d 9h (1d 45m) |
Pummel + Entbrat is one of the Ghazt combos on Plant Island; our Ghazt breeding guide has the rest. For the other half of the G’joob pair, see how to breed T-Rox. Mythicals like G’joob and Anglow have fixed parents rather than element maths, the same way our Strombonin breeding guide explains for Cold Island. During Epic sales, Pummel is also a parent for six Epics: Epic Fwog (with Furcorn), Epic T-Rox (with Drumpler) and Epic Clamble (with Maw) on Plant Island, and Epic Dandidoo (with Cybop), Epic Scups (with Dandidoo) and Epic Jeeode (with Quibble) on Water Island.
Incubation takes as long as breeding: a Pummel egg needs another 12 hours (9h enhanced) before it hatches. Image: Big Blue Bubble
How to breed Rare Pummel and Epic Pummel
You can only breed (or buy) either variant during limited promotions. Rare Pummel uses the same three pairs as the Common one, on the same two islands. Epic Pummel needs a different pair on each island. Each Epic combo below is listed on the Epic Pummel page and on both parents’ pages, and none is guaranteed:
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 | Result | Island | Time (enhanced) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oaktopus | Noggin | Rare Pummel | Plant, Water | 15h 30m (11h 37m 30s) |
| Fwog | Potbelly | Rare Pummel | Plant, Water | 15h 30m (11h 37m 30s) |
| Shrubb | Toe Jammer | Rare Pummel | Plant, Water | 15h 30m (11h 37m 30s) |
| Bowgart | Fwog | Epic Pummel | Plant Island | 1d 7h (23h 15m) |
| Scups | Shrubb | Epic Pummel | Water Island | 1d 7h (23h 15m) |
- Why two Epic pairs: Bowgart doesn’t live on Water Island, and Scups doesn’t live on Plant Island, so each island has its own pair. Our Bowgart breeding guide covers the Plant Island parent.
- Buy prices (wiki): Rare Pummel costs 65 Diamonds, or 2,500 Starpower when it’s in the StarShop. Epic Pummel costs 500 Diamonds. On November 4 the StarShop had Rare Noggin, Rare Deedge and Rare Wynq, not Rare Pummel.
- Selling: Pummel sells for 16,000 coins, Rare Pummel for 48,750 and Epic Pummel for 375,000.
- History: Pummel has been in the game since version 1.0.0 (September 2012). Rare Pummel arrived with the 2nd Anniversary update 1.3.0 on October 24, 2014, and Epic Pummel with version 2.3.3 on November 13, 2019.
The wiki’s Rare and Epic logs show these 2026 sales. Each one named Pummel or included it by island or element:

| Oct 8-15 | “Alt of the Earth” (Earth Natural Rares) | Yes | – |
| Oct 29-Nov 2 | “Everything Here Is Alive!” (all Plant Island Rares and Epics, Spooktacle) | Yes | Yes |
Big Blue Bubble hasn’t announced the next window. Last year, the wiki’s next Pummel sale after the Spooktacle Plant Island promotion (October 30 to November 3, 2025) was Festival of Yay’s “The More the Merrier”, which covered every Rare and Epic from December 22, 2025 to January 5, 2026. That’s a pattern from last year, not an announcement for this one.
How to breed Pummel in Dawn of Fire
Pummel was in My Singing Monsters: Dawn of Fire from version 1.0.0 (September 2015) and uses the same three pairs. We checked each one on the parents’ Dawn of Fire pages. According to the wiki’s Dawn of Fire Pummel page:
- Combos: Oaktopus + Noggin (best, the shortest wait per failed try), Fwog + Potbelly, or Shrubb + Toe Jammer.
- Times: 12h breeding and 12h incubation.
- Where: The Continent, from level 7. It needs 3 beds and costs 200 Diamonds to buy.
- Space Island: feed it to level 10 and you can teleport it to Space Island (20 hours, 4 Diamonds reward).
- Different results: in Dawn of Fire, Pummel + Reedling makes G’joob (18h), and Pummel + Kayna makes Edamimi (1d).
What does Pummel like?
Each different liked item placed near a monster adds 25% happiness. Here are Pummel’s likes, with unlock levels from the wiki:
| Like | Unlock level | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Maw | 7 | Counts on Plant Island |
| Toe Jammer | 4 | Counts on Water Island |
| Flappy Flag | 9 | Decoration |
| Fuzzle Tree | 13 | The secret like |
| Fossil-osaurus | 17 | Decoration |
Toe Jammer and Maw like Pummel back, so one of them next to a Pummel helps both monsters. Blabbit likes Pummel on Water Island, and Rare Pummel likes the Common Pummel too. Rare Pummel’s own likes are Pummel, Pipes of Cicado, Bass String Bridge and Barbloo Statue. Epic Pummel likes La, Bingo Bango Bongos, Digger and Thumpies Totem, Too.
Is Pummel worth breeding?
- Rewards: your first Pummel completes a goal worth 5,000 coins and 50 Treats, and placing it gives 10,000 XP. Your first one on Gold Island pays 2,000,000 coins, according to the wiki.
- Coins: low, as usual for a Triple. At level 20 and 100% happiness it earns 222 coins a minute and holds up to 26,029 coins.
- Breeding value: high. It’s a parent of Entbrat, Shellbeat, Ghazt, Jeeode, G’joob and Anglow.
- Wubbox: Pummel is one of the 15 Plant Island and Water Island monsters a Wubbox needs. Our Wubbox guide lists all of them.
- Song: Pummel beats its drum with its tongues. That’s concert bass drum on Plant Island and tom drums on Water Island.
For two more Triples with three element-split combos, see our Clamble breeding guide (Plant and Earth Island) and our Thumpies breeding guide (Cold and Earth Island).
FAQ
What two monsters make a Pummel?
Oaktopus and Noggin are the best pair. Fwog + Potbelly and Shrubb + Toe Jammer also work. All three combos work on Plant Island and Water Island.
How do you breed Pummel on Water Island?
The same way as on Plant Island: Oaktopus + Noggin, Fwog + Potbelly or Shrubb + Toe Jammer. For Epic Pummel on Water Island, breed Scups + Shrubb during a sale.
How long does it take to breed Pummel?
12 hours, or 9 hours in an Enhanced Breeding Structure. Rare Pummel shows 15 hours 30 minutes, and Epic Pummel shows 1 day 7 hours.
How do you breed Epic Pummel on Plant Island?
Breed Bowgart + Fwog while Epic Pummel is on sale. A 1 day 7 hour timer (23h 15m enhanced) means it worked.
Can you breed Pummel on Earth Island?
No. Earth Island has no Water element, so Pummel doesn’t live there. Breed it on Plant Island or Water Island instead.
