What is a Pal Breeding Calculator?
A pal breeding calculator is an essential tool for any serious Palworld player. It allows you to predict the exact species of Pal that will hatch from an egg when you breed two different parent Pals. Instead of relying on trial and error, this calculator uses the game’s internal mechanics to give you a guaranteed result. This saves you valuable time and resources, like Cake, and helps you strategically build a powerful team with the best passive skills. Whether you’re trying to breed a rare Pal like Anubis early in the game or create the ultimate worker Pal, a pal breeding calculator is your best friend.
The Pal Breeding Formula Explained
Breeding in Palworld isn’t random; it’s based on a hidden value called “Breeding Power” or “Breeding Value” that every Pal species has. The values range from 10 (very rare/powerful) to 1500 (very common). The formula to determine the offspring is quite simple:
Offspring Power = floor( (Parent A Power + Parent B Power) / 2 )
Once this average power is calculated, the game finds the Pal with the closest Breeding Power to this result. That Pal will be the offspring. For example, breeding a Pal with a power of 1000 and another with 1200 results in an average of 1100. The calculator finds which Pal has a power of 1100 (or the nearest value) to predict the child. Our pal breeding calculator automates this entire process for you. It’s important to know that some specific combinations result in special subspecies and are exceptions to this rule.
Breeding Power Variables
| Variable | Meaning | Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parent A Power | The hidden breeding power value of the first parent. | Unitless Value | 10 – 1500 |
| Parent B Power | The hidden breeding power value of the second parent. | Unitless Value | 10 – 1500 |
| Offspring Power | The calculated average power used to determine the child. | Unitless Value | 10 – 1500 |
Practical Breeding Examples
Example 1: Breeding an Anubis
Anubis is one of the most sought-after Pals for its high Handiwork skill. Instead of waiting to catch one in the high-level desert, you can breed one much earlier. A very common combination is using a Penking and a Bushi.
- Inputs: Parent A: Penking (Power: 560), Parent B: Bushi (640)
- Calculation: floor((560 + 640) / 2) = 600
- Result: The Pal with the closest Breeding Power to 600 is Anubis (Power: 570). So, this combination reliably produces Anubis. Using our pal breeding calculator makes finding powerful combinations like this easy. For more ideas check out this guide to the best pals.
Example 2: A Common Combination
Let’s see what happens when we breed two common early-game Pals: a Cattiva and a Lifmunk.
- Inputs: Parent A: Cattiva (Power: 1460), Parent B: Lifmunk (1430)
- Calculation: floor((1460 + 1430) / 2) = 1445
- Result: The Pal with the closest Breeding Power to 1445 is Vixy (Power: 1450). This demonstrates how you can turn two common Pals into a different, potentially more useful Pal for your needs.
How to Use This Pal Breeding Calculator
Using the calculator is straightforward and designed for efficiency. Follow these simple steps to predict your next perfect Pal:
- Select Parent A: Use the first dropdown menu to choose your first parent Pal from the alphabetized list.
- Select Parent B: Use the second dropdown menu to select the other parent. The order doesn’t matter.
- View the Result: The calculator will instantly update, showing you the resulting offspring, its calculated Breeding Power, and the formula used.
- Reset and Repeat: Click the “Reset” button to clear your selections and start a new calculation. Use the “Copy Results” button to easily share your findings.
This process removes all guesswork, helping you optimize your breeding strategy. For a deeper dive into breeding strategies, you might find a breeding tree guide useful.
Key Factors That Affect Pal Breeding
While the pal breeding calculator predicts the species, several other factors are crucial for a successful breeding operation:
- Breeding Farm: You must unlock the Breeding Farm at level 19 and build it in your base. It requires 100 Wood, 20 Stone, and 50 Fiber.
- Male and Female Pair: You must have one male and one female Pal assigned to the Breeding Farm. Two Pals of the same gender will not breed.
- Cake: Breeding requires Cake. You must place a Cake in the chest attached to the Breeding Farm to initiate the process. One Cake is consumed per egg produced.
- Passive Skills (Traits): Offspring have a chance to inherit Passive Skills from their parents. This is the primary way to create Pals with a perfect set of four desired skills (e.g., Artisan, Work Slave, Serious, Lucky).
- Parent Species: As the calculator shows, the species of the parents is the sole factor in determining the species of the offspring.
- Special Combinations: Certain pairs will always result in a specific child, overriding the standard formula. For example, Frostallion + Helzephyr always produces Frostallion Noct. Our pal breeding calculator accounts for these special cases.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I make Cake for breeding?
You need to cook it at a Cooking Pot or better. The recipe requires 5 Flour, 8 Red Berries, 7 Milk, 8 Eggs, and 2 Honey.
Does gender matter for the offspring?
You need a male and a female to breed, but the gender of the parents does not influence the species of the child. The gender of the resulting child is random.
Can I breed two of the same Pal together?
Yes. Breeding two of the same Pal will always result in an offspring of that same species. This is useful for trying to get better passive skills on a specific Pal.
What are special breeding combinations?
These are fixed pairs that always produce a specific, often rare, variant Pal. For example, breeding Mossanda with a Grizzbolt is a special combination that produces a Relaxaurus Lux. Our pal breeding calculator is aware of these exceptions.
How are passive skills inherited?
Each parent can pass down their passive skills to the offspring. The more desired skills the parents have, the higher the chance the child will inherit them. There is also a small chance for a random new skill to mutate.
Why did I get a different Pal than the calculator said?
This is extremely rare. It could mean game data was updated, or you’ve discovered a new, undocumented special combination. Our pal breeding calculator is updated regularly to reflect the latest game data.
Can I breed Legendary Pals?
Yes, but typically only by breeding two of the same Legendary parent together. For example, to get another Jetragon, you must breed two Jetragons.
How long does it take to create an egg?
The time varies, but it’s a relatively quick process once the parents start breeding. The main time investment is gathering ingredients and baking the Cake.
