Do rare pets offer any benefit? I see they have the same stats as common pets, is there something I can't see?
Currently in the beta there is no benefit to the pets with higher rarity. There are however plans to make pets slightly better the higher rarity they have later on but it's not decided in what way yet. We want the higher rarity pets to have some kind advantage but not for them to dominate the pets of lower rarity. Could be anything from a few bonus points in some stats or faster experience gain or faster regeneration between battles.
rare pets obv must NOT be much stronger than common ones, it would destroy the balance and scare away newbies

This would make the pets more interesting and useful outside battles.
... The legendary pets could have either unique town abilities that cannot be researched or just an extra town ability slot.
