Hi Empyrial,
There is certain amount of randomness/luck involved with how much SP pet obtains each turn. While the higher SP odds is configured slightly higher for high evolution pets, it's very possible for lower tier pet to proc faster than higher pet. However, over large sample of 100 battles, higher tier pets should proc faster than lower tier pet slightly more often if all other variables are the same. Keep in mind character speed also have huge impact as that determines how often pet gain SP, and if character's turn is skipped due to status effect their pet SP is also skipped. This means if opponent brings in 3 freeze pets and faster characters, their pet is likely to proc more often regardless of their pet tier.
Given knowledge of above, if you are seeing your pets proc'ing slower than then opponents most of time over couple dozen fights without a reason, please let us know and I will ask the dev team to take another look (though I have told them this bug several time and they assured me the only issue found was fixed).
