Best Palworld Pals for Lumbering

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 Lumbering. Check out our Best Palworld Pal Tier list for the complete overview.

What is Lumbering for

As the name suggests, Lumbering in Palworld allows you to cut down trees, primarily in logging sites. Most Elemental-types can usually use the Lumbering skill. Wood is an essential part of the game, as it is present as an ingredient in practically every crafting recipe. Level 1 lumbering pals like Tanzee are great starters, as they also have other skills you can take advantage of.
