How Palworld Breeding Works
Build a Breeding Farm
You need a Breeding Farm structure to breed Pals. Assign one male and one female Pal, then provide Cake as a resource.
Provide Cake
Cake is required for every breeding attempt. Craft it using Red Berries, Eggs, Milk, Honey, and Flour at a Cooking Pot.
Breeding Power
Each Pal has a Breeding Power value. The offspring is determined by the average of both parents' Breeding Power values.
Passive Skills
Offspring can inherit passive skills from both parents. Strategic breeding lets you stack powerful passives for combat or work.
Same Pal Breeding
Breeding two of the same Pal always produces the same species. Use this to duplicate rare Pals or improve stats.
Fused Pals
Special combinations with an Orserk can unlock Fused forms. These require specific conditions and special parent pairings.
Passive Skill Breeding Guide
Breeding Pals isn't just about getting the right species β it's about stacking the right passive skills. A perfectly bred Pal with four top-tier passives can outperform a wild Legendary by a wide margin. Here's everything you need to know about how passive skills transfer from parent to offspring.
How Skill Inheritance Works
Each parent Pal can have up to 4 passive skills. When breeding, the offspring has roughly a 25β40% chance to inherit each individual passive from either parent. The game rolls independently for each skill slot, so the outcome is never guaranteed β but with the right parents, you dramatically improve your odds.
Skill Slots & Limits
Offspring can inherit a maximum of 4 passive skills total. If both parents share the same skill, the child is more likely (but not guaranteed) to inherit it. Negative passives can also be inherited, so it's worth cleaning up your breeding stock before starting a chain.
Chain Breeding for Skills
The key strategy is chain breeding: breed two Pals to create a child with 2 desired passives, then breed that child with another Pal carrying the remaining 2. After several generations you can consolidate all 4 ideal passives into a single Pal β it takes patience but the result is worth it.
Top Passive Skills to Target
| Passive Skill | Effect | Best For | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| β‘ Lucky | +15% ATK, +15% Work Speed | Combat + Base Workers | Legendary |
| πͺ Musclehead | +30% ATK | Combat | Epic |
| π¨ Artisan | +50% Work Speed | Base Workers | Epic |
| π¨ Swift | +30% Movement Speed | Mounts & Exploration | Rare |
| π‘οΈ Ferocious | +20% ATK | Combat | Rare |
| β€οΈ Brave | +20% ATK, -10% DEF | Offensive Combat | Rare |
| π Legend | +20% ATK, +20% DEF, +15% Speed | All-round Best | Legendary |
Pro Tip: The Dream Build
The ideal combat Pal has Legend + Lucky + Musclehead + Ferocious. This combo gives roughly +85% ATK on top of your Pal's base stat. It takes many breeding generations to consolidate all four, but once you have a "template" Pal with all four skills, you can breed it with any other Pal to quickly produce strong offspring. Keep at least one copy of your template Pal safe at all times.
Egg Hatching Guide β All Egg Types & Environments
After a successful breeding session, you'll get an egg that needs to be incubated. But not all eggs are equal β each egg type has a preferred environmental temperature, and placing it in the right conditions significantly speeds up hatching time. Here's the complete breakdown.
Scorching Egg
Preferred: Hot environment
How: Place a Campfire or Heater near the Egg Incubator. Works best in desert biomes.
Contains: Fire-type Pals (Foxparks, Incineram, Pyrin, Blazamut, Suzaku)
Damp Egg
Preferred: Cool/Cold environment
How: Place near water or in a cool area. Avoid heat sources.
Contains: Water-type Pals (Fuack, Pengullet, Jormuntide, Azurobe, Surfent)
Frozen Egg
Preferred: Cold environment
How: Place in a snowy biome or use a Cooler. Avoid campfires entirely.
Contains: Ice-type Pals (Swee, Foxcicle, Cryolinx, Frostallion, Reindrix)
Verdant Egg
Preferred: Moderate/neutral temperature
How: Any standard base location works fine. No extreme heat or cold.
Contains: Grass-type Pals (Lifmunk, Mossanda, Elizabee, Lyleen, Mammorest)
Electric Egg
Preferred: Moderate temperature
How: Standard base placement. Avoid temperature extremes for fastest hatch.
Contains: Electric-type Pals (Sparkit, Rayhound, Grizzbolt, Orserk, Beakon)
Dark Egg
Preferred: Moderate/Cool
How: Best in shaded areas or nighttime-oriented biomes. Avoid direct heat sources.
Contains: Dark-type Pals (Hoocrates, Katress, Maraith, Shadowbeak, Necromus)
Rocky Egg
Preferred: Hot/Warm
How: Place near a Campfire or in rocky/desert terrain.
Contains: Ground-type Pals (Rushoar, Fuddler, Anubis, Dumud, Hangyu)
Dragon Egg
Preferred: Moderate/Warm
How: Place in a standard base with mild heating nearby. Dragons are flexible.
Contains: Dragon-type Pals (Relaxaurus, Quivern, Astegon, Blazamut Ryu, Jetragon)
Common Egg
Preferred: Any temperature
How: No special requirements. These hatch anywhere and fast.
Contains: Neutral-type Pals (Lamball, Cattiva, Direhowl, Melpaca, Grintale)
Speed Up Hatching: Egg Incubator Tips
Unlock the Egg Incubator at Technology Level 7 β this is non-negotiable if you're serious about breeding. Without it, eggs hatch extremely slowly. Once you have the incubator, the "Comfort" bar determines hatch speed. A green "comfortable" status means maximum speed. You can place multiple incubators at your base with different climate control setups to handle different egg types simultaneously. On a private server, setting the egg hatch speed multiplier (in the server config) to 2Γ or 3Γ saves enormous time during skill-stacking breeding sessions.
Complete Palworld Pal List β All 138 Pals
Every Pal in Palworld has a hidden Breed Rank (also called CombiRank or Breeding Power). This number determines what offspring two parents produce. The game averages both parents' ranks and picks the closest Pal to that number. Lower rank = rarer and stronger Pal. Use this table to plan your breeding strategy.
| # | Pal | Type | Rarity | Breed Rank | HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|
* Breed Rank: Lower number = rarer offspring. Sort by Breed Rank to find the strongest Pals to target when breeding.
Breeding Chain Guide β How to Breed Anubis
Anubis is one of the most sought-after Pals in Palworld β a Legendary Ground-type with incredible work versatility and strong combat stats. But catching one in the wild is brutally difficult. Breeding is far more reliable. Here's a complete step-by-step chain breeding guide to get your own Anubis.
Transporting Lv2 Β· Manufacturing Lv4
1 Easiest Method: Direct Special Combination
Anubis is one of the Pals that can be obtained through a special named breeding combination β meaning certain parent pairs always produce Anubis regardless of Breed Rank averages. The most accessible direct combo is:
Why This Works
Penking and Bushi are both obtainable relatively early in the game. Penking is found near the starting island's boss areas, while Bushi appears in the Sealed Realm of the Swordmaster dungeon. Neither requires you to be max level, making this the most beginner-friendly route to Anubis.
2 Chain Breeding: Starting From Common Pals
If you don't have Penking or Bushi yet, you can chain breed your way to Anubis using common early-game Pals. This takes more steps but is fully doable with Pals you catch in the first hour of play.
After You Get Anubis β Breed for Passives
Once you have your first Anubis, don't stop there. Use it as a foundation to breed for the best passive skills. Pair your Anubis with Pals that have Legend, Lucky, or Musclehead passives, then repeatedly breed until you get an Anubis with all 4 ideal skills. That Anubis becomes one of the best base workers AND combat Pals in the entire game.
