Palworld: Every Pal’s partner skill and what it does

There's a Pal for that...

Every Pal on Palpagos Island has their own unique Partner Skill which can help in combat or while in your base. There’s a lot to remember, but don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here’s every Pal and their partner skill, laid out by Pal number for your convenience. 

Recommended Videos

Partner Skills are a lot like Passive Skills, except each individual breed of Pal has a specific one. It’s worth paying attention to these Partner Skills because they immediately become active and benefit you once you’ve assigned a Pal as part of your party.

There are Pals such as Cattiva that will increase your carrying capacity simply by being on your team, or ones like Lyleen that will actively work to heal you while battling as long as you have it out and fighting beside you.

While most Partner Skills generally aim to boost your attacks, there are absolutely some that are more useful than others. While it’s easy to have favorites based on appearance or personality, Partner Skills should be considered when picking your sidekick and party.

All Pal Partner Skills in Palworld

From Pals who do their fair share of carrying to those who can help you heal up when you’re in a pinch, there’s a Pal to lend a hand in every situation.
