There’s over 100 Pals in Palworld and we’ve taken the time to catch them all, test them in combat and decide which (with our community) are the top tier performers and which you should put to work. We break down our tier list into tiers and locations. Making it easy to find the Pals you need. We’ve ranked all 120+ in both their tier and then their location.
You’ll find them in the sortable and searchable table below, that way you can find the best Pals per area (search by area), search for your favorite Pal to see where they rank and you can search for numbers to help find where missing Pals are to go catch them. Then go out and catch them all!
We hope our Palworld Pal Tier list helps you greatly in your adventure! We’ve optimized it to be your one stop shop to find everything on the Pals, where they’re at, what rank they are and how to get them if they’re not in the world.
New to Palworld and want something easier to catch? Look for the ones in Frostbound Mountains, an easy to reach location. You can also sort by number, lower number Pals are closer to the spawn points.
Palworld Best Pals by Tier
Palworld Pal Numbers Equate to Power
The higher the pal number, the stronger the Pal, with a few rare exceptions. Penking, Chillet and Mossanda are all extremely strong, along with Nitewing early in the game. Tho they’re not the easiest to catch starting off, they’re definitely within level 20 range for Chillet and Penking. Mossanda you can take with either your friends or your starter base if its nearby.
There are caveats, boss versions and higher rank versions of some Pals are going to do better than others; however, if you rank them all up and get all boss versions of each then this list would in our opinion remain accurate. There’s lots of pals that are going to be C rank when you start, but that’s okay.
Finally, you’ll find that your favorite Pal to look at will be ultimately your SS rank. That’s is more than okay.
Pals Merchants and Camps
You can find a Pal Merchant in the “Small Settlement” northwest of the starting island that has a pal trader, along with various other pal traders throughout the islands. You can also get pals that may not be catchable to you yet by freeing them from one of the adversarial groups on the island. Clear the camp and then take free the Pal for your reward.
