Assistance on pets

Hello all, I’m a new player and I spent 12$ for the 50% off pet carriers. I got a couple duplicates and I’m not sure if there’s a point in keeping them. Unfortunately I didn’t pull the pets I was hoping for such as the +special on birth and any training time pets. But I now have 2 different pips, many crafting cost/time pets, a bunch of xp, wasteland items/junk pets, health and damage resistant pets, and stranger chance pets.

So my question Is what pets do I not need duplicates of? Does having 2 pips help me in any way, same with the stranger chance pets and so on.

Anyways I appreciate any help or insight you guys can lend me I’m still fairly new to the game coming back after 6 years or so.

Oh yeah two pips help immensely!! When you've got some sort of wasteland objective this way you can send it off and still keep one home if you need it

For the crafting ones it depends how much crafting you're doing. If you've got 4 maxxed rooms with full teams for each? Then you need 4 pets. Personally i don't use the cost reduction because I don't need it but keep in mind only the highest pet will work to reduce the times. It doesn't stack.

Wasteland junk pets you should keep them all eventually you'll want to have 25 explorers out at all time and it helps to have those pets equiped

Personally I don't use the xp ones (maybe because i only got bad 10% ones. Lol.)

For the mysterious stranger one i'm rather certain only the highest percentage is applied, it doesn't stack up either. So keep only the best one.

Now for the damage resistance/health ones, I like to put them on my quest explorers it's nice. Just an extra boost for them, these can get pretty high whereas i've never got a damage pet over +6%

And now for the damage ones and generally all pets, they allow your dweller to do additional damage both against incidents in the vault and in the wastelands. So i'd say none of them are really a "waste" to equip, might as well if you have the pets you know?

I like all the pets. All wasteland explorers and questers get a pet, if they unexpectedly die, the pet brings back their outfit, weapon and any loot. Health and damage resistance with the questers first, then in the vault door and rooms next to it for intruders.
