Grass Element Pals have an Offensive advantage over Ground Type Pals dealing 2x damage to them, but their damage will be halved when fighting against Fire Type Pals. Defensively, they are resistance to Ground types, but will receive 2x damage from Fire Type Pals.
It appears that a decent Pal kept back due to its element being on better Pals, gets a lot better when you change its element to something rarer. Dragon/Electric is a great offensive element combo, and while there are still better Pals of the same element, Relaxaurus Lux ends up being better than its regular counterpart in most cases.
Dragon Element Pals have an Offensive advantage over Dark Type Pals dealing 2x damage to them, but their damage will be halved when fighting against Ice Type Pals. Defensively, they are resistance to Dark types, but will receive 2x damage from Dragon Type Pals.
Astegon doesn't just look ferocious, it actually is. This is a Dark/Dragon Pal and marks the point of stats becoming as high as you can hope for. Astegon is a tank of a Pal, with 125 Defense and Ranged Attack out of a possible 150. Stats are not the only thing elevating Astegon though.
But if someone who isn’t another Bushi were to come across the weapon and attempt to wield it as their own, the lingering will of the Bushi will harass them until they succumb to madness. This implies multiple things: that Bushi may not completely die when they pass, since there’s a consciousness left in the sword, and it also may hint at an afterlife for at least Bushi if not all Pals.
Quivern is quite likely one of the best-designed Pals in the game, which is great, as the game's been riddled with controversy due to its creature designs. On top of being absolutely gorgeous though, Quivern is a menace in battle as well. To begin with, it's the first flying Pal on this list, meaning it can be ridden to battle through the skies.
Azurobe is a Dragon/Water Pal to start our list. Beautiful and graceful, Azurobe leaves a bit to be desired. While Azurobe is good enough to be considered a top-tier Pal, it's unlucky in that it completely gets outclassed by other Dragon/Water Pals on this list. Azurobe would have been great if not for the power of its competition.
Throughout this list, we've mentioned a few times how Fire is the best element, and how being able to counter it is a huge boon for any Pal. Well, it then tracks that having the Fire element is even better. Jormuntide Ignis is the Dragon/Fire alternate version of Jormuntide, and it is so, so powerful.
Within the Palworld universe, there are some pretty darn unsettling Pals you can encounter. Some are incredibly volatile, others are unsettlingly creepy, while even more fall to some incredibly unfortunate ends in the surprisingly violent world of Palapagos Island.
Not every Pal has a creepy or disturbing entry in the Paldeck, but for those who do, they can be wildly harrowing, taking the mostly cute and cuddly creatures of Palworld and casting a much darker shadow over their existence. If you’re wondering what the creepiest Pals you find around Palapagos, you’re going to have to check these out.
Fire Element Pals have an Offensive advantage over Grass and Ice Type Pals dealing 2x damage to them, but their damage will be halved when fighting against Water Type Pals. Defensively, they are resistance to Grass and Ice Organ farming Palworld types, but will receive 2x damage from Water Type Pals.
The second victim of severe competition is the Dragon/Water Relaxaurus. While a bit stronger than Azurobe in offense and weaker in defense, Relaxaurus manages to edge it out in terms of overall usefulness. This is mainly due to its Partner Skill, Hungry Missile.
While the brazen bull might not have actually been used in the human world, the Menasting certainly is out and about torturing its victims in Palworld. So well known is this Pal’s way of eating that the Paldeck even mentions how you can hear its victims screaming as they are consumed inside.
Jetragon can be ridden as a flying mount, and it's by far the fastest one you can get. Its Partner Skill Aerial Missile makes Jetragon Rapidly fire a missile launcher. The result is a very speedy mount that can rain destruction from high over your enemies. Jetragon is the best Dragon Pal you can get, due to how versatile, helpful, and destructive it is all at the same time.
What lies underneath the furry exterior of the Wumpo, which seems like a natural question to ask about many of the Pals that can be found in Palworld. The Paldeck entry for this creature seems to have tried to answer this question but left only more questions.
When researchers shaved this icy creature of its fur, there was nothing beneath it, just a lump of hair. Which, of course, makes no sense, since there are clearly ears, eyes, and a mouth to hold the little leaf it is chewing on.
