Breeding for new, more powerful creatures is one of the most beloved features in Pokemon games, so any game slightly inspired by it would have to address that matter in one way or another. Is Palworld doing so during its initial Early Access release?
Is There Breeding in Palworld?
Players can freelybreed their Palsin Palworld. Breeding works not only as a way to get more of your favorite creatures, but also to make new Pals that can inherit their parent’s characteristics and strengths. And some special types of Pal may only be obtained through this method.
Some different species of Pals can be paired together to produce aspecial fusion variantof the two Pals. During these fusions, the new resulting Pal would inherit a specific parent’s base model but with a new elemental type, resulting in unique colors and textures, not too dissimilar to Pokemon’s regional variants.
It’s important to note that not all Pals have their own fusion variants. Most Pals that a player breeds will produce eggs that result in a Pal completely unrelated to its parents. It seems thatbreeding usually creates an offspring with the closest average strength matching the two Pals being bred. For example, pairing an Eikthyrdeer with a Dumud results in a Mozzarina. This makes for some pretty surprising results, but you can use aPalworld breeding calculatoronline to help you figure out which Pal you’ll end up with before wasting the time and resources on getting a low-level Pal you don’t want or need.
