View rankingHow these tiers work
Palworld combat runs on a nine-element rock-paper-scissors system, so the strongest Pal on paper is not always the right pick — a well-built A-tier with the right passives and element matchup beats a bare S-tier. Use combat tiers to build your team, mount tiers to travel faster, and base-work tiers to automate your base.
- Browse every Pal for full stats, drops and habitats.
- Breed the Pal you want once you know your target tier.
- Follow a route to catch these Pals in the right order.
Tier list questions
QWhat is the best Pal in Palworld 1.0?
It depends what you need it for, which is why there is no single list. For fighting, the current S-tier is Astralym, Panthalus, Frostallion Noct, Frostallion, Necromus. For base production it is Dandilord, Silvance, Renjishi, Lyleen, Bastigor, and for flying mounts Jetragon, Panthalus, Shaolong, Eidrolon, Eidrolon Ignis. A Pal that tops one list is often mid-tier on another.
QHow many Pals are ranked here?
681 placements across 4 lists — combat, flying mounts, ground mounts and base work — plus a separate weapon ranking. Every Pal links through to its full profile with stats, drops and habitat.
QDoes S-tier mean a Pal always wins?
No. Palworld runs a nine-element rock-paper-scissors system, so element matchup and passives often matter more than raw tier. An A-tier Pal with the right element and a good passive set beats a bare S-tier that is weak to the enemy in front of it.
QAre these rankings up to date?
They are checked against game version 1.100.427 and carry a datamined status label. Balance patches move Pals between tiers, so the version is shown on the page rather than left implicit — if it does not match your build, the ranking may be one patch behind.
QHow should a new player use these lists?
Do not chase S-tier early. Follow the newcomer route to catch what is available at your level, then use the combat list to decide which of those Pals is worth investing in, and the base-work list to pick who stays home producing rather than fighting.
