List of All Pal Breeding Combinations in Palworld

Last updated 9 October 2026. Checked against Palworld 1.0.5. Breeding ranks and special recipes are read from the game's data files for version 1.0 (we re-checked the average rule against the game's own parent lists); Mutation and the breeding cakes come from Pocketpair's 1.0 release notes.

How Palworld breeding works

Every Pal has a hidden number in the game data, its breeding rank. When two Pals breed, the game averages the two parents' ranks and gives you the Pal with the closest rank. If two Pals are equally close, the one with the higher rank number is chosen. Two Pals of the same species give that species. We tested this rule against all 33,974 parent pairs in the game data and it gives the same Pal for 99.6% of them, so treat it as a very good guide rather than a guarantee.

Some Pals only come from special recipes, like the Ignis, Aqua, Lux, Noct and similar variants of a Pal. For those the game checks a fixed list of parent pairs first, and the average rule is not used. That list is the second table below.

Mutation and breeding cakes (new in 1.0)

Version 1.0 added Mutation: breeding has a low chance of producing a Pal stronger than the normal result, and Pals born from mutated eggs have higher stats and a unique passive skill. Pocketpair also added cakes that change the odds: the Mushroom Cake slightly raises the chance of higher stats, the Vegetable Cake produces two Pal eggs at once, the Deluxe Vegetable Cake raises the chance of mutations and makes stat growth more likely, and the Special Cake raises the chance of inheriting several passive skills from the parents. See our passive skills guide for what is worth passing on.

How to work out the baby yourself

1. Look up both parents' breeding ranks in the table below.
2. Add them and divide by two.
3. Find the Pal whose rank is closest to that number (pick the higher rank if two are equally close). Skip Pals that only come from special recipes.
4. Check the special recipes table in case your pair is on it.

Worked examples, checked against the game's own parent lists:

• Majex (1010) + Bushi Noct (840): average 925, closest rank 890, so you get Loomen.
• Gorirat (2140) + Warsect (1280): average 1710, closest rank 1710, so you get Maraith.
• Pupperai (2930) + Woolipop Terra (2030): average 2480, closest rank 2480, so you get Muffly.

Special breeding recipes

These 116 Pals come from fixed parent pairs. Gender only matters where it says so.

Breeding rank of every Pal

Use these numbers for the average rule. In the data, early-game Pals such as Lamball (3050) have high numbers and late-game ones such as Anubis (480) have low numbers.

That is 287 Pals with a rank in the breeding data. Pals missing from the table, such as Astralym, have no breeding data.

Palworld breeding FAQ

Can I choose which Pal I get?

Yes, by working backwards. Pick the Pal you want, find its rank in the table, then choose two parents whose ranks average out to something closest to it. If your target has a special recipe, use that pair instead.

What is Mutation?

A Pocketpair 1.0 mechanic: breeding has a low chance of producing a Pal stronger than the normal result. Pals born from mutated eggs have higher stats and a unique passive skill.

Does the gender of the parents matter?

For the average rule, no. Only a couple of special recipes depend on which parent is male and which is female, and the table says so.

Are old breeding lists still right?

Be careful with lists from early access. Version 1.0 rebalanced all Pals and added Pals, so older tables can be missing Pals or show different results.
