How to Breed the Best Skills in Palworld 1.0

Breeding allows you to combine several powerful passive skills on a single Pal, but choosing the right parents and planning the breeding chain can initially be confusing.

This guide walks through the entire process using a combat focused Blazamut as an example. It covers choosing your passives, preparing a Yakumo, capturing your target Pal, transferring Eternal Flame from Blazamut Ryu and fully upgrading the finished Pal.

A huge thank you to Augiesaint for sharing this step-by-step breeding method. Make sure to check out his channel for more Palworld content!

Before beginning a breeding chain, decide how the finished Pal will be used. Combat Pals, workers and mounts all benefit from different passive skills, so it is important to choose your target traits first.

You can then use a breeding calculator to find the different parent combinations capable of producing the Pal you need.

For this example, the goal is a fire-focused Blazamut with:

• Eternal Flame
• Flame Emperor
• Demon God
• Musclehead

Regular Blazamut naturally has Flame Emperor, while Eternal Flame comes from Blazamut Ryu. Musclehead and Demon God will be transferred to a captured Blazamut with the help of Yakumo.

Yakumo is one of the most useful Pals for starting a passive breeding project. Its Birds of a Feather Partner Skill increases the chance of encountering wild Pals with the same passive skills as Yakumo while it fights alongside you.

The fully condensed Yakumo shown in this example has Birds of a Feather at Level 5, providing a 30% increased chance. Certain special passive skills are excluded from the effect.

One straightforward combination for producing Yakumo is:

Lamball + Leafan = Yakumo

The example uses a female Lamball with Lucky and Hydromaniac alongside a male Leafan with Musclehead and Diamond Body. Their eggs produce several different Yakumo, but the cleanest result has only Diamond Body and Lucky.

These exact passive skills are only an example. You should place whichever traits you want to transfer onto your own Yakumo. Try to avoid unnecessary passives, as unwanted traits can make later breeding stages less consistent.

For the Blazamut capture, switch to a fully condensed combat Yakumo carrying Musclehead, Ferocious, Demon God and Diamond Body. Musclehead and Demon God are successfully transferred to the captured Blazamut.

Before collecting eggs from your Breeding Farm, place the following fully condensed Pals in your party:

• Grintale: Gives each collected Pal Egg a 75% chance of providing one additional egg.
• Broncherry: Gives collected eggs a 45% chance of becoming Alpha Pal Eggs.
• Broncherry Aqua: Gives collected eggs a 55% chance of becoming Alpha Pal Eggs.

Broncherry and Broncherry Aqua have different Partner Skills, allowing their effects to combine for a 100% Alpha Pal Egg chance. Additional copies of the same Partner Skill will not stack.

Take your prepared Yakumo to a wild spawn of the Pal you want to breed. In this example, the target is Blazamut.

Ability Glasses or Pal Tamer’s Glasses allow you to see a wild Pal’s Health, Attack and Defense Potential before capturing it. If the Blazamut has poor Potential stats, move far enough away for it to disappear and then return. When it respawns, its Potential stats will be rerolled.

Make sure Yakumo is summoned and fighting alongside you when the capture completes. Birds of a Feather will not affect the captured Pal if Yakumo is only sitting in your party.

The captured Blazamut receives:

• Flame Emperor
• Unstable
• Musclehead
• Demon God

Flame Emperor comes from Blazamut itself, while Musclehead and Demon God are transferred with Yakumo's help. Unstable is unwanted, so the aim during the final breeding stage is to produce a child that does not inherit it.

The captured Blazamut still needs Eternal Flame. This passive comes from Blazamut Ryu, which is initially obtained through its Raid Egg rather than being captured alongside Yakumo.

Blazamut Ryu can pass Eternal Flame to another Pal through breeding. The combination used in this example is:

Blazamut Ryu + Whalaska = Blazamut

Breed this pair and hatch their eggs until you find an opposite-gender Blazamut carrying only Eternal Flame. Because the captured Blazamut is male, the example looks for a female.

A female Blazamut with Eternal Flame and no additional passives is ideal. Keeping this parent clean reduces the number of unwanted traits that could be inherited during the final breed.

Potential stats are worth considering, but they do not need to be perfect at this stage. Any missing points can eventually be corrected with Potential-boosting fruits.

The final breeding pair consists of:

• A male Blazamut with Flame Emperor, Musclehead, Demon God and Unstable.
• A female Blazamut with only Eternal Flame.

The objective is for the child to inherit Eternal Flame, Flame Emperor, Musclehead and Demon God without also inheriting Unstable.

The parents can be assigned through the base assignment interface or carried and thrown directly into the Breeding Farm.

At this final stage, replace the normal Cake with a Special Cake. Special Cake makes an egg more likely to inherit multiple passive skills from its parents, making it ideal when combining the completed passive sets.

Continue breeding and hatching eggs until you receive a Blazamut with:

• Eternal Flame
• Demon God
• Musclehead
• Flame Emperor

The first child with all four passives may not have the best Potential stats, so check the remaining eggs before settling on one.

With the four Passive Skills secured and the best Blazamut selected, the final step is to maximise its stats through surgery, Souls, condensation, Trust, Awakening and Potential upgrades.

Use the Pal Operating Table

The Pal Operating Table allows you to implant Passive Skills through surgery. This is not required for the Blazamut selected in Step Four because it already has the complete passive setup, but it can correct another Pal that is missing a desired skill.

Some Passive Skills require permanent implants purchased from special merchants. Rarer skills, including Demon God, use Disposable Implants obtained by recycling Ancient Relics.

The PIDF Bounty Officer at the Small Settlement sells implants for skills such as Musclehead, while the Arena Merchant offers a different selection. If a Pal’s sex needs to be changed for a future breeding combination, you can also use a Pal Reverser.

Complete the Remaining Upgrades

Finish min-maxing the chosen Blazamut with the following upgrades:

• Pal Souls: Use Pal Souls to enhance Health, Attack and Defense. Work Speed does not need to be enhanced because Blazamut is being built as a combat Pal rather than a base worker.
• Condensation: Fully condense Blazamut to four stars. This normally requires 48 duplicate Blazamuts, divided between the four ranks as 4, 8, 12 and 24. Alternatively, use Ripe Starfruit to increase its condensation rank. Four Ripe Starfruits take a Pal from zero to four stars.
• Trust: Feed Blazamut Kinship Peaches until its Trust reaches Level 10, providing another increase to its combat stats.
• Awakening: Use a Fire Awakening Crystal to permanently awaken Blazamut. This endgame upgrade provides additional stats and gives the Pal a distinctive golden glow.
• Potential: Use Life Fruit for Health, Power Fruit for Attack and Stout Fruit for Defense. Each fruit adds 10 points to its corresponding Potential, up to a maximum of 100.

After every upgrade is complete, the finished Blazamutshould have:

• Eternal Flame, Demon God, Musclehead and Flame Emperor
• Maximum Health, Attack and Defense Soul enhancements
• Four-star condensation
• Magma Kaiser Level 5
• Trust Level 10
• Fire Awakening
• 100 Health, 100 Attack and 100 Defense Potential
