Palworld Pals
Welcome to the complete Palworld Pals index. Version 1.0 reshaped the roster with 72 new creatures, a level cap raised to 80, and over 200 reworked partner skills that change how every species fits into combat, base work, and exploration. Whether you are hunting rare spawns in Sunreach Sky Islands, breeding mutation-ready lines, or ranking mounts for World Tree expeditions, these pages cover every Pal-focused topic on our wiki.
Version 1.0 Pal Highlights
Pocketpair's full release on July 10, 2026 introduced the largest Pal expansion since early access. The 72 new Pals in 1.0 page breaks down all 47 original species and 25 regional variants, including which biomes they inhabit and how the level 80 cap affects stat growth. Partner skills received a ground-up overhaul — read partner skills in 1.0 for examples like Sword Eel wielding blades and Fire Dragon breath upgrades.
Breeding remains the long-term progression loop. Start with breeding basics, then advance to the mutations system and our breeding calculator to plan perfect parent pairs. Stock breeding cakes before running mutation farms for the best odds.

Combat: The combat tier list ranks every battle-ready Pal from S+ to C, factoring in partner skills, element coverage, and raid utility. Pair it with combat team builds for endgame boss setups.
Base work: The base work tier list identifies the best Pals for mining, farming, smelting, and transporting. Cross-reference with work suitability tool when staffing new production lines.
Mounts: The mount tier list ranks flying and ground traversal options. Fast mounts matter for reaching fast travel statues and Sunreach before nightfall.

S-tier combat Pals like Shadowbeak, Necromus, and Paladius remain top choices, but new 1.0 species with reworked partner skills challenge the old meta. Check our combat tier list for current rankings after each balance patch.
How do partner skills work in Palworld 1.0?
Partner skills activate when a Pal is in your party or when mounted. Version 1.0 reworked over 200 skills — some now let Pals wield weapons, grant team buffs, or transform combat roles entirely.
Where should I start with Pal breeding in 1.0?
Read breeding basics first, then explore the mutations system for stronger offspring. Stock breeding cakes from our items guide before running mutation farms.
Do tier lists update after Palworld patches?
