pet evolve upgrade

[KASER100]

Trying to evolve a griffin pet I just got. I have been using a hongmoon pet aura stage 3, and also have a black penguin, and a pet pack. Looking at the evolve system it looks like I need a second griffin pet for the guaranteed evolve. The problem I have is they never come up for sale. Is there another option or do I need to just pick another pet and forget about the griffin.

I think you are mixing up some things... you got your pet aura, like a house for the pet, and the pet itself.

If you upgrade your pet, you need the same pet, griffin in this case, again. But this only alters his apearance. It doesn't change its stats.

To change the stats, you need to upgrade the pet aura with pet packs (or get a better one with the event).
