How Does Breeding Work in Palworld?

The complete guide to understanding Palworld's breeding mechanics.

Breeding Basics

  1. Build a Breeding Farm (unlocked at level 19)
  2. Craft Cake (Flour + Red Berries + Milk + Egg + Honey)
  3. Place one male and one female Pal in the farm
  4. Add a Cake to the farm's chest
  5. Wait for the egg to appear
  6. Place the egg in an Incubator to hatch it

📐 The Breeding Formula

(Parent 1 Power + Parent 2 Power) ÷ 2 = Child Power

The child is the Pal whose Breeding Power is closest to the average. Each Pal has a hidden Breeding Power value (10–1500) that governs all breeding outcomes.

Special Breeding Rules

  • Legendaries: Cannot breed with non-legendaries.
  • Subtypes: Variants like Vanwyrm Cryst need specific parent combos.
