Palworld
First play through. Is my party good or cooked?
Discussion
The Mammorest and Elizabee are a bit redundant, they're weak to fire and you have no water pals to deal with it.
I'd recommend an ice pal to counter any dragons that counter your 2 dark pals, and I'd also recommend a swimming pal so you can salvage.
Chillet is a shockingly-good swimmer, and is a pretty solid dragon counter
Can't salvage on water riding Chillet.
Azurobe will fill that spot well.
True, just remarking at how good of a swimmer it is
Dude I'm like level 50 still running with the very first Lamball I caught. Play with the pals you want, swap them out as you start to struggle with element typing
I love the new trust system for buffing beginner Pals like Lamball. It's a nice system in general but the buffs to Pals like that are so cool! Stick with your starters!
The Trust system is one of my favorite features of the update. It's so silly when put up against everything they added but being able to use my "starter" pal (which is a Cattiva this time) is great. I usually just deal with them being weak but now it's so nice to see these "weaker" pals actually be viable.
It's something I wished <creature game> would have done for years. Using a starter without evolving or a route 1 was something I loved doing because for me the cute designs came first.
I love foxparks, the flame thrower team up is good for a long time. And fire does decent damage against most pals early on
Dogen is GOATed so.
Oh? How come?
Its passive teleports you home on a 3min CD, and he's not a bad fighter. Got one by accident from an egg when its expansion island came out and it became one of my favorites.
It's 1000 sec CD (16 min) if I'm not wrong either. Still for palworld 16 minutes is nothing
You can reset the timer early by putting Dogen into your pal storage and then taking it back out.
This needs more attention
Also when you have 5 stars only 500 seconds
Don’t worry about optimizing anything until feybreak at level 45
No wrong answers to what Pals you keep on you. I tend to keep ones on me for specific jobs and the new Pal party register system makes it easy to have different parties for different adventures. (Fishing team, boss team, travel team, etc.)
Cooked. Might as well delete the save.
Big thing I would recommend is always keeping an electric, fire and water pal in party during exploration, as you will occasionally find elemental chests that require that type to open them. In the new update there is a pal named Gangler Ignis that is both water and fire, would look into getting one of those eventually. If not Ghangler, maybe Penking Lux as its both water and electric
Xenovader carries me through early game, dude loves a good fight
I still need to make the elizabeegod.
In this game you change your party regularly to use different partner skills for different tasks and diffrent bosses so everything is fine
I ran a foxparks I named flamenji till I took on the pal genetic tower
I always roll with w/e I'm feeling like, as should you!
Sometimes that's all legendaries when farming, others its a fun meme team.
Lots of pals have player/party-wide passive buffs that you can greatly benefit from. One of the newly added pals buffs drops from Fishing and I always have that one in my party as I love to fish.
There are stronger pals out there, but with the new trust feature your favorites become better with time.
If you're playing solo, you'll eventually have to swap some of them out to fight the tower battles. So its a good idea rl have multiple pals in your box to swap out for. At about this point, I was starting to have to grind pretty hard to get past the towers
All parties are valid, you just have to breed good passives on em
TBH as long as you and your pals are adequately leveled, you shouldn't have much issues with anything. Some pals are better than others, sure but there really isn't anything stopping you from using the ones you like most.
Pretty good type coverage
Very good, just definitely level up your player
Play with what you want. The trust mechanics makes most pals way better than they used to be. I brought my old Foxsparks back to the crew and hmwhile he's not the strongest he still keeps pace with my legendary pals.
Not bad, but they have probably taken you as far as they can. Time to get a new crew.
Elizabee's stats gets stronger by every Beegarde that is present in your team. Try catching 4 Beegardes and place them on your team!
Hrm. Level 33, this is a fine team. Its not optimal, but you don't need or even want optimal. Maybe swap the bee for a swimming mount.
Your party can be whatever you want and It won't be bad, any pal can learn any move via skill fruits, plus I wouldn't know anything about good teams, mine is comprised of three hedgehogs, a Jackal, and a Wyvern
I woulf go with Beeguard instead as it has 7 passive abilities, the most of all pals
highly suggest fenglope. it's such a good ride pal for the dungeons
I recommend creating more party teams depending on what you are going to do ..
Going for pal hunting ? Take some heavy hitters if you know you are going after fire pals water pals are your best choice
Need Venom Gland ? Take pals that boost drop rate from dark pals
Fishing ? Take pals that boost fishing
And so on .. if you are early just take what you need but when you go out just to explore be sure to have
Fire pal
Frost pal
Electric pal
Flying pal or pal that boost gliding
Depends what you expect or what pal is your favourite … I always keep one same to max out relationship
These are necessary to have because in world you find chests that are element locked so its wasteful if you don’t have right pal at party and you are locked out of chest and don’t have a way to open it ..
I recommend give fishing a shot and setup cake farm with breeding farm so you can pass legend passives on your new breed pals ..
So much to do in this game be sure to enjoy it and take it as you like your party is good just make sure to use right pal for right situation .
For example if you come across Blazehowl don’t use Mammorest because they are grass type which is weak to fire …
If you want to level up certain pals just take one higher level and other low and go for dungeons since defeating/capturing boss give XP so you other pals can level up faster ..
Wish you luck and good passives ! Enjoy it at its fullest !
Little more type variety but not bad
For chests, I personally try to have a Fire, water, and electric pal on me. But you do you. It's your game
Tbf, after only a little while my Pals felt way too overpowered for the usual rif raff.
Bosses can be optimized for, in fact I've actually had to drop half my main OP team before just to get buffs that could help me beat a boss or tank their attacks.
Every pal has its use, even if it's just to be someone's favorite adventuring buddy. Just pick what you enjoy! Have fun.
Just play the game, people need to play games the way they like to, don't worry about everyone else's opinions or playing fully optimized
If you want to optimize, then do the work to figure out what's optimal for your situation, there's different things to optimize for
if you want to be optimal and people have already done the work to optimize, why would you not seek out what they've done and solve a problem that's already been solved for you?
i know some people like solving things on their own, but this isnt a game where solving things is the point of it, optimization and getting to the most optimal state is though.
I’ll be honest Dogen is kinda good for this point
I recommend swapping Elizabee for a Chillet so you can start salvaging.
Early-mid game you can have whatever you want in your party without worrying about needing to optimize for max damage or whatever so just have fun, you don't need to worry about the best compositions until you're like level 50 in my opinion, that's when I swapped out the dinossom I caught at like level 10 💀💀💀💀💀 and fully overhauled my team with Legends
Ita mid tier, some pals got signature/reserved moves, with some being VERY good, try getting a couple of those
I’m level 59 and have only the prettiest pals in my party. Direwolf is my only riding mount and I got him in the beginning of the play through
direhowl (i call it direwolf too) is one of the fastest ground mounts even without passives. you can jump cancel it's signature attack, fierce fang, to retain the speed into the air. the later you jump the faster you go. if you're too late the dash just ends then you jump, you gotta jump slightly before it ends to get the most speed.
just struggles to go fast uphill, and it's got high gravity so the vertical gusts might not send you high enough sometimes
Your party is NEVER cooked. Goes for every single party too. Unlike a certain other game, palworld makes it so that every pal can be legendary-tier instead of just being stepping stones to the strongest form
Any team of pals can beat all the content in the game and that's without taking your own personal damage into account, which becomes significant once you unlock guns.
Play with the pals you like.
Obviously you can min/Max which will make things easier but it's not really necessary.
You dont really have to worry abt teams until later levels, i was fine playing completely fine until victor (lvl 50~ i think) with random shit i caught. Even then i just swapped like 2 pals over like 20-30hrs
How tf did you get a dogen?
Dogen is a solid pal. It saved me from having to craft homeward thunderclouds.
the Pals themself are good. Just pick what you like and enjoy. get the fruits tree if you want to give them some good moves.
Ok. Personally I suggest getting a galeclaw so you have a really fast glider without having to craft, plus it lets you attack/ throw balls midair while gliding (really useful for bosses). Also I don't remember when becon is unlocked but switch to it whenever possible since its a lot faster. Also if you really wanna optimize breed up decent pals since its insanely easey after you can get an ok cake supply
They changed that glider thing. You get boosts from the Gliding Pals but you have to have a Glider on you at all times now.
Its still so broken. Im coming back from playing day 1 and I've been loving the galeclaw glider. I can cancel it over and over and re pull it out. I can do clutch ball throws while dodging using it. And its just an amazing way to travel around fast while not taking any time to use. Im a huge fan of it couldnt imagine pre nerf then.
Most pal strengths are pretty balanced, so I stick to my favorites and I'll admit that I'm a Katress fangirl.
With trust level being a thing now, every pal is viable for end game.
I know i could Google it but its reddit why would I use my brain lol.
Care to explain how trust works as simply as possible? (Don't need to be op who responds)
Well I got downvoted for some odd reason. I speak the truth. I’m going based on Pal Professor’s (famous Palworld YouTuber) research.
Trust level gives extra attack and defense to pals. The lower the base stats, higher the gain.
For example,
Jignis with max trust gets you 100+ for each stat.
Chikipi with max trust gets you 300+ for each stat which reduces the gap (in terms of stats) between them.
Jignis is overall still stronger but Chikipi is a viable pal for offense as well now.
Wow thats actually crazy cool thanks!
The man speaks truth dont hate!

Im currently using a decently bred icelyn even tho the wiki says its not the best for combat she destroys everything i fight lol
Games are meant to be fun! If you are having fun, your party is doing its job!
Your photo is crooked
A Vanwyrm? Nice! That'll be useful for fighting the Bellanoir lineup later on.
I see Mammorest and I rest my head deeper into the pillow...
"This guy knows what he's doing."
Dogen really good for farming and a a really good fighter too!! His ability is also sick! Vanwayrrn one of the best flying pal in the beginning-mid game Mammot is weak i think never used it. Xenovader is for mid for mid-game nothing special. The bee is trash. Use it for honey so you can make cakes.
I would change the mammot, xenovader and the bee but its your decision :3
It is what it is, its not a party that you thought thru. Its just a gathering of probably the strongest palmons you could find at this moment of the game, they are not rly buffing them self's there.
If you enjoy playing with them, all power to you mate...
Your party is fine! Play with the pals you want to. Sure there’s always a way to perfectly optimize your team, but I would worry about just having fun first :)
Thank you! :)
There is a new trust mechanic that give stats boosts to pals and it's stronger on pals with lower base stats so it's a lot easier to make any pal work now
