Best Palworld Pals to use as Mounts

Unlike Pokemon, Pals are anything but useless. They can fight, they can work, and some can serve as means of transportation.

Indeed, with the right Pal, you can stop running around and move much faster with a mount. And as you level up, you’ll gain access to swimming and flying mounts! This guide covers all the Pals that can be used as Mounts today.

Starter Mount Pal

Getting your first mount is crucial, allowing you to explore, catch Pals, and gather resources much faster. And unlike many games that require you to complete the entire campaign to get your first mount, you can get one as early as level 6. All you’ll need is:

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

#	Art	Name	Element	Mount Rank	Skill	Mount Speed	Max Speed	Player Level	Mount Type	Mount Tier	Type

About our Speed Tier List…

Based on the excellent tests from user r/Ryik, our tier lists includes base speeds and maximum speeds for all Pals that can be used as a Mount. 

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 monsters in our Palworld Pals Tier list here.

About 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. 

About 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.
