Palworld Guides

The PalAtlas guides hub collects every guide article and data tool: jump into the section you need, or read the breeding rules explainer below. Based on public game mechanics and community data; not official.

Data tools & rankings

How offspring species is determined

Two parents map to a unique offspring species under the game breeding rules (with gender constraints where applicable). PalAtlas looks up that mapping in a full local matrix instead of guessing online.

Target breeding power for normal pairs

Normal pairs generally start with a target breeding power: (parent A power + parent B power) ÷ 2, then match the nearest breedable species under the rules. PalAtlas queries a verified complete matrix at runtime so boundaries, exceptions, and special pairs remain covered.

Parents and gender

Most pairs do not depend on gender. Some special combinations require one male and one female, and the offspring may change with parent gender. If genders do not satisfy a rule, the calculator reports an error instead of a wrong species.

Reproducible examples

  1. Normal pair: Penking + Bushi → Sibelyx. Reversing the parent order produces the same result.
  2. Gender-specific pair: female Katress + male Wixen → Katress Ignis.
  3. Reversed genders: male Katress + female Wixen → Wixen Noct.

Breeding power

Breeding power is an intrinsic Pal attribute used when planning lines. The result panel shows the offspring breeding power for easy comparison.

Passive skills and IVs

The offspring species is deterministic. Passive skills and individual values inherit by probability in-game. The tool never presents random inheritance as a fixed result. Use external guides for passive chaining—not this species calculator.

Palworld 1.0 and outdated combo charts

The 1.0 release reworked many breeding combinations. Guides and calculators frozen on early-access data can list parent pairs that no longer work. PalAtlas ships a full 1.0 matrix (299 Pals, 44,850 pairs) and refreshes when rules change.

FAQ

How is a breeding result determined?

The offspring species is uniquely decided by the parents' breeding values and the combination matrix. Palworld 1.0 data has 299 Pals and 44,850 unordered combinations; calculation runs locally in your browser.

Why do old breeding charts fail?

Version 1.0 reworked breeding ranks and recipes, and introduced same-species-only rules for tower and some legendary Pals. Charts based on early-access data can produce wrong offspring.

Can passive skills be inherited?

Offspring have a chance to inherit passives carried by their parents, and players often chain-breed to combine them. This site determines species outcomes only — it does not predict passive or IV odds.

How do I use the reverse lookup?

Pick a target offspring on the reverse page to see every viable parent combination. Gender-restricted rules are supported and links can be shared directly.
