How Palworld Breeding Works

Breeding mechanics in Palworld are straightforward: each Pal possesses a concealed 'breeding power' value ranging from 10 to 1500. The rarity or strength of a Pal is inversely proportional to its breeding power; hence, lower numbers denote greater rarity or power. To ascertain the offspring's power level, the breeding powers of both parent Pals are averaged:

Simplified: To determine the offspring's power level, add the breeding powers of both parents and then add 1. Divide this sum by 2 and round down to the nearest whole number

In the breeding process, the game selects the Pal with the breeding power closest to the calculated average for the offspring. For instance, if the offspring's power is determined to be 1015, and the closest values are 1010 (Felbat) and 1020 (Robinquill), the game will choose Robinquill as the parent. In case of a tie, where the calculated power falls equidistant between two Pals, the tiebreaker is determined by the order of appearance in the game file's index. In this scenario, since Robinquill precedes Felbat in the game files, it takes precedence and becomes the selected parent.

The breeding process ensures that the offspring's power level cannot surpass that of the strongest or rarest parent. For instance, if the starting parents have powers of 570 (Anubis) and 1460 (Cattiva) the result will be the following: Floor((570 + 1460 + 1) / 2) = 1015 (Robinquill).

If you then bred that baby at 1015 with your starting 570 Anubis:

If you continue this multiple times:

• Floor((570 + 795 + 1) / 2) = 683 --> Univolt at 680
• Floor((570 + 680 +1) / 2) = 625 --> Bushi at 625
• Floor((570 + 625 +1) / 2) = 598 --> Incineram at 590
• Floor((570+ 590 +1) / 2) = 580 --> Anubis at 570
• From here you will continue to get only Anubis.

As you can see you can get closer and closer to your 570 Anubis with each generation but you can never breed something stronger/rarer.But this also shows you can take one strong/rare Pal and breed it with its offspring and quickly start making Pals near that strength.

Gender:

Gender doesn't matter so long as you have one male and one female to start the breeding process.However, the odds of a Pal being male or female differs between some of the Pals. All Pals have a 50% (equal) chance to be male or female, with the exception of the following:

Special Combinations:

There are 28 special combinations that do not use the breeding power method to determine the result.These Pals can only be bred using these exact combinations and will not show up through normal breeding or with any other combos.
