Breeding Requires a Specific Setup

To even begin breeding, players need a few key things:

• Breeding Farm: This is a structure unlocked at level 19 that provides the space for your Pals to breed.
• One Male and One Female Pal: You must place a Pal of each gender into the Breeding Farm. Pal species doesn't matter, but gender does.
• Cake: A cake must be placed in the chest outside the Breeding Farm. One cake is consumed for each egg produced, and it's essential for the breeding process to begin.

The Offspring is Determined by a "Breeding Power" Value

This is the most critical rule our calculator is built on. Every Pal in the game has a hidden "Breeding Power" number. The rarer and stronger the Pal, the lower its number.

When you breed two Pals, the game calculates the average of their two Breeding Power values. The resulting offspring will be the Pal with the closest Breeding Power to that average. Example:

• A Lamball has a Breeding Power of 1470.
• A Cattiva has a Breeding Power of 1460.
• The average is 1465.
• The Pal with the closest Breeding Power to 1465 is the Mau, so that's what will hatch from the egg.

Passive Skills Are Inherited Randomly

While the offspring's species is set, their passive skills are not. The baby Pal will inherit a combination of the passive skills from its parents.

• The offspring has a high chance of inheriting some, if not all, of the passive skills from its parents.
• There's also a small chance for the offspring to inherit a new, random skill.
• Skills like "Legend," "Swift," "Runner," and "Ferocious" can be passed down, which is the primary reason for breeding in the first place.

This is where the strategy comes in. To get a Pal with a perfect set of skills, you must breed parents that already possess those skills, and then continue breeding until an offspring inherits the complete set you're looking for.

Special Combinations Produce Unique Pals

There are a handful of unique Pal species that can only be obtained through very specific breeding combinations. These are often "fusion" Pals that combine traits from both parents, such as:

• Anubis can be bred from a Bushi and a Penking.
• Relaxaurus Lux can be bred from a Relaxaurus and a Sparkit.

These special combinations bypass the "Breeding Power" rule and are fixed. Our calculator is especially useful for quickly finding these unique pairings without having to search through every possible combination.

Step 1: Select Your Parent Pals

On the calculator page, you'll find two drop-down menus or search bars. Use the first one to select Pal 1, and the second one to select Pal 2. These will represent the two Pals you're placing in the Breeding Farm in your game. You can search by Pal name or number.

Step 2: Calculate the Offspring

Once you've selected both parent Pals, the calculator will automatically process the information. It will then display a list of all possible offspring that can be hatched from the resulting egg.

Step 3: Understand the Results

The results will show you the name of the offspring Pal. It's important to remember that breeding in Palworld is based on a "Breeding Power" value, and our calculator uses this same logic to determine the outcome.

Breeding Legendary Pals

The key thing to understand is that the four main legendary Pals—Frostallion, Jetragon, Necromus, and Paladius—cannot be bred from a combination of two non-legendary Pals. You can only get them by breeding two of the same legendary Pal together. For example, a Frostallion can only be born from two Frostallions.

However, a breeding calculator is still essential in this case. It helps you figure out the breeding combinations to get the best passive skills onto your legendary Pals. You can use it to create a powerful "breeding chain" that passes down skills like Legend, Swift, Runner, and Ferocious from other Pals onto your legendary parents.

Breeding Pals with the "Legend" Passive Skill

Here's an example of how a breeding calculator helps:

• Goal: You want a Frostallion with the "Legend" and "Swift" passive skills.
• Problem: The wild Frostallion you caught only has the "Legend" skill, but you have a different Pal with "Swift" that you want to pass on.
• Solution: You can use our calculator to find a breeding combination that will give you a Pal with the "Swift" skill. Then, you can breed that new Pal with your Frostallion to create an offspring that has a chance of inheriting both skills. This process might take a few steps, but our calculator can guide you on the most efficient path.

Special "Fusion" Pals

There are also several other powerful and highly sought-after Pals that are considered "legendary" in all but name, and these can be bred from two different parents. Our calculator is the best way to figure out how to get them.

A perfect example is Anubis. This Pal is incredibly strong and has a highly useful passive skill for base work. Using a breeding calculator, you can discover that a common combination to get an Anubis is: Bushi + Penking、Quivern + Chillet

These are just a couple of the many successful combinations. A breeding calculator gives players the ability to discover these combinations themselves without having to blindly experiment. It's an indispensable tool for anyone trying to build a truly powerful team.

Step 1: Identify Your Goal

Before you even touch the calculator, you need a clear goal. Are you trying to get a specific Pal? Are you trying to create a Pal with a set of perfect passive skills for combat or base work?

• Example 1 (Specific Pal): "I want an Anubis for my base."
• Example 2 (Perfect Skills): "I want a Jetragon with Legend, Swift, Runner, and Ferocious."

Step 2: Use the Calculator to Find Combinations

Once you have your goal, use the calculator in reverse. Instead of selecting two parents, search for the Pal you want to breed. The calculator will provide a list of all possible parent combinations that can produce your target Pal.

• For Anubis: You'll find combinations like Bushi + Penking, or Quivern + Chillet. These are relatively easy Pals to catch, making your breeding chain simple and fast.
• For Jetragon: The calculator will tell you that a Jetragon can only be bred from two other Jetragons. This immediately tells you that you need to find a Jetragon first, and then focus on the passive skills.

Step 3: Plan Your Breeding Chain for Passive Skills

This is where the real optimization happens. Passive skills are key to creating a truly powerful Pal. The calculator helps you visualize this process.

• Find the Skills: Catch or breed Pals that have the passive skills you want. For example, to get "Swift," you might find a Vanwyrm with that skill. To get "Ferocious," you might find a Bushi with that skill.
• Combine and Refine: Use the calculator to see what happens when you breed your two Pals with the desired skills. The offspring will have a chance to inherit skills from both parents. You'll likely have to repeat this a few times, breeding the best offspring with another parent, until you get all the desired skills onto a single Pal.
• Finalize the Parents: Once you have two Pals (a male and a female) that each have a perfect set of passive skills, you can breed them repeatedly to get your final, optimized Pal.

Key Takeaways for Optimization

• Breeding Power: The calculator works based on a hidden "Breeding Power" value for each Pal. By breeding a strong Pal with a weak one, you can "breed down" the breeding power to get a different, often rarer, Pal. Our calculator does all this math for you.
• Don't Settle: Use the calculator to find the most efficient path. If one combination requires two easy-to-catch Pals, use that one instead of a combination with hard-to-find Pals.
• Keep Your Best Offspring: Always save the offspring that inherit the most passive skills you want. These will be the "building blocks" for your next generation of perfect Pals.
