Palworld features a diverse collection of over 100 Pals, each with unique types and skills that contribute to gameplay. These creatures are cataloged in the Paldeck, serving as a comprehensive resource for players seeking to understand and utilize the full potential of their companions.
The Paldeck lists every Pal by its number, name, elemental type(s), and a breakdown of its base skills. These skills range from combat abilities to utility functions essential for base management and resource gathering. For instance, Lamball, an early-game Neutral Pal, possesses skills in Handiwork, Transporting, and Farming, making it a versatile asset for new players.
Elemental types play a crucial role in Palworld. Pals can be Neutral, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Ground, Dark, or Dragon, with many possessing dual typings. These typings influence their strengths and weaknesses in combat, as well as their effectiveness in specific tasks. For example, Fuack, a Water Pal, excels at Watering, while its Ignis variant, Fuack Ignis, has Kindling and Watering skills. Similarly, the Ice-type Jolthog can perform Cooling, while its Cryst variant, Jolthog Cryst, specializes in the same.
Skills are categorized by the tasks they facilitate, such as Planting, Kindling, Water, Mining, Lumbering, Generating Electricity, Handiwork, Transporting, Gathering, Farming, and Medicine Production. The level of each skill indicates its proficiency. For example, Penking, a Water/Ice Pal, boasts high-level skills in Watering, Handiwork, Mining, Cooling, and Transporting, highlighting its significant utility for base operations.
Some Pals offer unique drops or resources. Vixy, for example, can gather Pal spheres, arrows, and gold, while Melpaca provides wool. Flame Organ production is linked to Pals like Flambelle and Rooby, and wool can be farmed from Melpaca. Higher-tier Pals often provide more valuable resources, such as high-quality cloth from Sibelyx and its Primo variant, or high-quality Pal oil and gold coins from Dumud and its Gild variant.
