Choosing which Pals to keep on base and your person can be tough in Palworld. With more than 160 species of Pal, there are plenty of options for each of your needs. While there are many viable choices, the ideal Pal for every role can be found.
Figuring out the best choice can be tedious when comparing many Pals, especially if you breed and train them each time. Thankfully, you’ll find all the Pals you should keep around here.
Entries were chosen based on a playthrough with default difficulty settings and after all tower bosses had been completed.

Yakumo
Best For Catching Pals
Getting the perfect mix of passives for your combat or work pals can be a pain, but thankfully there is a faster method. Yakumo’s partner ability has a chance to make caught Pals match its passives. Having Yakumo at your side lets you catch ideal Pals much faster than breeding them.
Only one Yakumo with ideal passives is needed to net you dozens of perfect Pals. Although breeding sets of Yakumo with the desired abilities can be tedious, it saves significant time in the long run.

Jormuntide Ignis
Best Pal For Kindling
By the time you reach the endgame, you’ll likely have several of these around, since Jormintide Ignis is the best kindler. Players often rush to obtain the Pal through breeding to get a headstart on smelting material. However, just because you have plenty in the late game doesn’t mean you should ignore perfecting them.

Ignis Pals with the right passives and fully condensed, have an immense kindling speed. Condensing your Pals increases their work suitability by one and Jormintide Ignis starts with a kindling of four, making them one of the few Pals that can reach max level.
7
Anubis
Best Worker To Have At Every Base
Anubis is perhaps the most sought-after Pal during the climb to max level. The variety and levels of their work skills make Anubis essential for running bases efficiently in the end game.
Like Jormintide Ignis or Orserk, training your Anubis is well worth the effort for the level five work suitability. End-game recipes demand an exceptional amount of crafting time, making pals with level five handiwork indispensable.

Astegon
Best At Collecting Resources In The Wild
With the option to construct material nodes in your base, Palworld keeps resource collection from being a headache. Unfortunately, fitting everything you need is difficult, but there are alternatives.
Many players opt to collect materials as needed, rather than generating everything on base. Items like Sulfur can be gathered in the necessary amounts manually. Astegon is the best Pal to use as its partner skill increases mining speed.
5
Orserk
Best Pal To Power Electric-Hungry Bases
Once you’ve reached the oil stage, your electrical needs skyrocket. Rows of power stations operated by optimized Pals are the only way to maintain constant oil production. Orserk is the pick of choice for the task due to its work skill and compact build.

In the mid-game, Grizzbolts are often the Pal players turn to for power. Aside from a lower work suitability, Grizzbolt is worse because of how often it becomes stuck on terrain. Orserk gets trapped far less and boasts a quick walking speed, providing optimal production over Grizzbolt.
4
Selyne
Best Choice For Mounted Combat
Many Pals can make combat more effective while mounted. Manual attacks and maneuvering are far better than letting the Pal fight alone. There are multiple deadly Pals you could choose to ride into battle, but one stands as the best overall.
Selyne’s signature beam attack is safe and powerful while in flight. With a single blast, you can defeat hordes of Pals. It also features another signature move, Seigetsu Blade. With these mighty attacks, smooth flight, and ample stats, Selyne is the superior choice.
3
Necromus
Best Mount For Ground Travel
Using Pals for travel is so integral to gameplay that many players devote two or more of their five team slots to transportation. Between flying mounts, gliding Pals, and important partner skills, building the best team can be stressful.

Typically, flying or gliding Pals are the preferred choice, but ground mounts can still be useful. Evading attacks is usually easier from a ground mount, and collecting resources is a breeze. Good combat stats, a protective profile, and the ability to double jump land Necromus as the perfect riding Pal.
2
Blazamut Ryu
Best Pal To Deal Heavy Damage
With so many powerful Pals and abilities available, achieving high damage output isn’t difficult. However, the right combination is required for maximal attack strength. For optimal combat damage, the only choice is Blazamut Ryu.
Its typing and available passives allow for exceptional damage numbers. Hitting for damage counts in the six-figure range is a given for a well-trained Blazamut Ryu. The power it brings is well worth the work to obtain one through end-game raids.

Jetragon
Best High-Speed Flying Mount
Update after update, the champion of all mounts remains the same. While many new and useful pals have been released, if you’re trying to get somewhere quick, then Jetragon is objectively the best choice.
With the stamina to fly for long periods and the fastest sprint speed of any Pal, it’s the best flier in the game. Although combat and resource collection from the back of a Jetragon is awkward, the incredible travel speed is worthy of a spot on your team.
