Palworld: How To Cure Overfull
Manage Pals wisely in Palworld, where Overfull, an insatiable ailment, affects hunger. Cure either by crafting or looting medical supplies.
Since there are so many different Pals to choose from, players often get confused about which ones they should capture and add to their party for maximum benefits. Luckily, this list covers the best Pals of each type in hopes of helping players build the strongest team.
9 Paladius
Neutral-Type Pal
While Neutral Pals are the weakest type of them all, and have no significant advantages,
Paladius stands as an exception. This majestic centaur comes armed with a bow and lance, ever-ready for combat. Its incredibly powerful Spear Thrust ability makes Paladius a must-have Neutral Pal in all situations.
If they’ve crafted the Paladius’ Saddle, players can ride on its back to traverse the game world. The best part is that Paladius can even triple jump while mounted. When assigned to a base, Paladius is well-suited for Level 2 Mining and Lumbering jobs.
8 Mossanda
Grass-Type Pal
With leafy green details all over its body and a big leaf sticking out of its head,
Mossanda perfectly captures the essence of what a Grass-type Pal should look like. Despite its appearance as a cuddly green panda, Mossanda is a truly dominant Pal with exclusive skills like Crushing Punch and Solar Blast.
Palworld: Best Pals For Your Base
If you're looking to maximize production in Palworld, then you're going to need all the best base Pals to help things keep moving in your homestead.
When mounted, Mossanda can rapidly fire a grenade launcher, inflicting significant damage to enemies. Thanks to its wide range of Work Suitability, Mossanda can take on various jobs around the base, such as Planting, Lumbering, Handiwork, and Transporting.
7 Anubis
Ground-Type Pal
Anubis is a jackal-like humanoid Pal named after the Egyptian God of funerals and death. It is an absurdly powerful combat Pal and is even displayed as the Statue of Power. With lethal Ground Smashes, Anubis crushes anyone who stands in its way.
When fighting enemies along with the player, Anubis applies Ground-type damage to all the player’s attacks, making them nearly invincible. It can even skillfully dodge many incoming attacks with a high-speed sidestep. If it’s left behind at the base, Anubis can complete Transporting, Mining, and Handiwork tasks.
6 Orserk
Electric-Type Pal
One may think
Orserk is a Dragon-type Pal since it looks like a bipedal dragon, but it is actually an Electric-type. Orserk is capable of inflicting devastating Electrical attacks, thanks to skills like Tri-Lightning and Lightning Bolt.
Palworld: Hardest Alpha Pals, Ranked
Alpha pals are difficult to defeat, but their abilities make it worth the effort for Palworld players.
What makes Orserk a must-have Pal is its useful partner skill that increases item drop rates when fighting Water-type Pals. Additionally, Orserk can take on jobs like Handiwork, Transporting, and Generating Electricity. It offers Level 4 Electricity Generation which is the highest compared to other Electric-type Pals in Palworld.
5 Jormuntide
Water-Type Pal
Jormuntide is essentially a dual-type Pal, featuring Dragon and Water elements. It is aptly described as the Emperor of the Sea and is the best Water-type Pal players can get for their team. This majestic blue serpent is an excellent water mount and allows players to cross bodies of water without depleting their stamina levels.
Besides this unique ability, Jormuntide boasts versatile elemental skills like Tri-Lightning, Hydro Laser, and Dragon Meteor. Given its lethal skill set, Jormuntide is an excellent combat Pal and is a part of many powerful breeding combinations.
4 Jormuntide Ignis
Fire-Type Pal
Jormuntide Ignis is a fire variant of Jormuntide. It is another dual-type Pal, with Dragon and Fire elements. This fiery red dragon stands tall like the Volcanic Emperor and has insane stats. With immensely powerful Fire-type attacks like Flare Storm, Fire Ball, and Dragon Meteor, Jormuntide Ignis is an absolute beast in battles.
Once players craft its unique saddle, they can ride Jormuntide Ignis. Interestingly, Jormuntide Ignis enhances the player's Fire attacks while mounted. It even offers Level 4 Kindling abilities when placed in a base, making it a well-rounded option for a Pal team member.
3 Frostallion
Ice-Type Pal
Frostallion is a Legendary Ice-type Pal, inspired by the mythological Greek horse, Pegasus. With pure white fur and beautiful wings, Frostallion glides gracefully over Palpagos Island. It is an insanely powerful flying mount that offers some of the most lethal ice attacks in the game, such as Cryst Breath and Blizzard Spike.
What’s interesting is that whenever players mount the Frostallion, their attack type changes to Ice, and the damage inflicted by Ice attacks is enhanced while mounted. Frostallion can also handle Level 4 Cooling jobs, making it reign supreme among other Ice-type Pals in Palworld.
2 Jetragon
Dragon-Type Pal
Jetragon is a celestial dragon characterized by its dull blue body and large bright magenta wings. It resembles a flying jet complete with a long tail that looks a lot like the tail of an airplane.
Jetragon boasts insane stats and mighty skills, such as Draconic Breath, Fire Ball, and Dragon Meteor, making it the best overall Dragon-type Pal in Palworld.
If that isn’t enough, players can slap on Jetragon’s Missile Launcher and continuously fire a rocket launcher while riding on its back. Besides obliterating enemies, Jetragon can effectively complete Level 3 Gathering tasks as well.
1 Necromus
Dark-Type Pal
Even though players won’t acquire this magnificent creature till they reach the end of their Palworld adventure,
Necromus is absolutely worth the wait. It is by far the most powerful Dark-type Pal in the game and one of the strongest combat Pals overall.
Like its neutral counterpart Paladius, Necromus is a centaur adorned in black armor and armed with a pair of red lances for combat. Its Twin Spears and Dark Laser attacks will melt through most enemies in the game. Besides this, Necromus is among the few Pals that can double jump when mounted.
