How Does Breeding Work in Palworld?
Breeding lets two compatible Pals produce an Egg that hatches into a specific offspring. Unlike some monster-collecting games, the child is not randomly inherited from one of the parents. Each pair follows a set breeding formula.
To start breeding, you need a Breeding Farm, one male and one female Pal, Cake, and an Egg Incubator. Place both parents in the Breeding Farm, provide Cake, then incubate the Egg once it appears.
Worth Knowing: Breeding is one of the fastest ways to get rare workers, strong combat Pals, and powerful mounts without hunting them in the wild.
