Palworld Tier List: The Complete Pals List

by Ric Molina | Jan 29, 2024

Palworld was quickly dismissed as yet another Pokemon ripoff, but given the game’s enormous success so far, Payworld may have what it takes to give Pokemon a run for its money. With over 5 million copies sold, the game is just getting started.

If you, too, are hooked on Palworld and want to capture the “strongest Pal possible,” this Palworld database has everything you need to know about every Palworld Monster out there.

What are Pals?

As explained in-game, Pals are enigmatic creatures you can capture with a sphere to use as companions or workers. You can carry up to 5 Pals at any time. All additional captured Pals are automatically sent to the Palbox.

These are the different Tier levels used for the list:

S Tier – Best: Highest ranking Pals in our Tier List.
A Tier – Strong: Very strong Pals, but not on the same level as S Tier Choices.
B Tier – Average: Decent Pals that can be lethal in the hands of a skilled player.
C Tier – Weak: The middle of the pack, somewhat mediocre.
D Tier – Worst: Lagging behind the competition, these don’t have much to offer.

The Strongest Palworld Pal: Elements

Keep in mind that the Element of a Pal can be just as important as its raw strength (by the way, we have a Palworld Combat Tier list). Just like in Pokemon, Elements play a crucial role and will lead to substantial advantages (or disadvantages) depending on the Element of the Pals that are fighting. For example, an average Water Pal can easily challenge a top-tier Fire Pal.

Make sure you always use the proper Element based on your enemy:

Pal attacks are super effective against the types shown. When attacked with the corresponding element, the numbers will be shown in red similar to a headshot to indicate super effective damage.

Pals are also RESISTANT against the same elements they are super effective against, as well as their own element. Numbers will be shown in grey to indicate not very effective damage.

Dual type pals will follow these same rules for both of their elements. This can cancel out a weakness. For example, a Penking (Ice and Water) will take normal damage from fire attacks, indicated by white numbers.

Stab stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. This is a small bonus to attack damage if your Pal shares a type with that attack. A Fire pal will deal more damage with a fire attack than a pal of a different type using the same attack. The community has calculated this bonus to be about 20%.

What are Partner skills?

Partner skills are unique abilities that each Pal possesses. These are varied and can go from shooting guns to serving as flying mounts. Note that many of these skills require a specific “Pal Gear” you’ll need to unlock and build at the Pal Gear Workbench first.

Work Suitability in Pals

While the lethality of a Pal is crucial when engaging in combat, other criteria can turn a seemingly useless Pal into a great asset for your operations. This is the case of Work Suitability.

Work Suitability is important, as it dictates what Pals can perform which job. And clearly, some Pals are better than others. We cover the Best Pals for Base here.

Using your Pals as a Mount

Last but not least, some Pals can be used as mounts. Having the right Pal (equipped with the proper item) can make the difference between slugging around on foot and traveling fast using a mount. We cover all the Mount Pals here.

Ranking Criteria

While there is a lot of subjectivity when putting together a Tier list, we did our best to follow the following criteria in order to have a coherent tier list:

HP
Attack Power
Partner Skills

As Palworld is still a brand-new game, we’ll continue to update this database as we discover more secrets. If you notice something missing let us know in the comments section!

I've been covering gaming since 2012, and some of my work has been featured by large brands, including MSN.com, Forbes, Rock Paper Shotgun, and more. I've been obsessed with Destiny 2 (and now Diablo 4) for years now, and I hope to provide new and returning players with the guides and resources I wish I had when I first started.

Your tier list is terrible. Nitewing has no major base skills, and it’s probably the slowest mount out of all flying mounts in the entire game. Yes, it’s the first one you get, but every other flying option after that is not only faster, but is better in combat.
