Palworld: Pal, base and breeding guides
Which Pals earn a slot on your team, how to build a base that runs without you and what breeding actually gets you. Tables and tested combos, not guesswork.
Tools
Breeding Pals: what two parents produce
Pick two parents and the calculator names the child. Or name the species you want, and it walks every pair that leads to it.
How much damage a hit takes off
Feed in attack, level, skill power and target defense — the calculator returns expected damage, the element multiplier and the bounds of the random roll.
How much IV (Talent) your Pal has
Give the Pal, its level and the three visible in-game stats — the calculator works out the Talent range (0-100) behind each one.
Pal passive skill planner
Build a combination of up to 4 passive skills and see how they combine to change a Pal’s stats.
