Palworld Best Flying Mount: Speed Tier List

by | Feb 14, 2024

Unlike Pokemon, Pals are anything but useless. They can fight, they can work, and some can be used as Pal Mounts.

Indeed, with the right Pal, you can stop running around and move much faster with a mount. In fact, as you level up, you can even get access to flying mounts! This guide covers all the Pals that can be used as a Flying Mount today.

Best Flying Pals: S Tier

Jetragon is, hands down, the best flyer in Palworld. It has the best speed, as well as a top-tier Skill. But what about the rest? Is there any other Pal that comes close? 

Based on the solid tests performed by user r/Ryik, this tier list includes base speeds and maximum speeds for all Pals that can be used as a Mount. These are the fastest Flying Pals in the game:

About our Speed Tier List…

Mount Ranks: Unlike our other Tier lists that feature a “general rank,” this Tier list and its specific Mount Ranks solely focus on Speed. We rank all Pals in our Palworld Tier list here.

Max Speed: This column takes into account the speed bonus some Pals receive when condensed. By Max Speed, we mean Pals with 4 starts. If a Pal does not have a Max Speed figure, it is because their speed is not improved when condensed

Player Level: This column refers to the Player level required to use a Pal as a mount. For instance, even if you managed to catch or breed a Necromus at level 40, you won’t be able to use it as a Mount until level 49. This column is important as it will help you target the best/fastest mount at any moment during your leveling experience.

First Flying Mount: Nitewing

Getting your first flying mount is crucial, allowing you to explore places you couldn’t before. And unlike games that require you to beat endgame content to get your first flying mount, you can get one as early as level 15. All you’ll need is:

  1. A Pal Gear Workshop (unlocked at level 6)
  2. Unlock the Nitewing Saddle technology
  3. Craft a Nitewing Saddle
  4. Equip it, and you’re good to go!
