Best Palworld Pals for Gathering

Palworld was quickly dismissed as yet another Pokemon ripoff, but the game made it clear it had much bigger ambitions. Guns may be the first thing that comes to mind when talking about the things that make Palworld unique, but the ability to make your Pals work comes close second.

Your base can only succeed if you have the right combination of Pals working there. With 12 possible jobs, you’ll need to be careful when choosing which Pals to put to work. This guide focuses on Gathering. Check out our Best Palworld Pal Tier list for the complete overview.

What is Gathering for

Gathering is a work skill in Palworld that has Pals pick up from Gardens and fields when they are done growing. It is an essential part of the whole food ecosystem, as without gathering your harvest, you won’t be able to process it or ready your fields for the next harvest.
