Frequently asked questions

How many passive skills can a Pal have?

A Pal has up to four passive skills. Breeding lets a baby inherit some of its parents' passives, and the Inheritance Odds planner shows the chance of getting the ones you want.

Which Palworld passive skills are the best?

That depends on the job: combat, base work or riding. Use the Top filter to see the highest-ranked passives, then compare effects. The table below lists every passive with its effect and tier.

How do I breed a Pal with the passives I want?

Choose parents that carry the passives, then use the Inheritance Odds planner to see the chance per egg. The more distinct passives the parents carry, the lower the chance of each one.
