Understanding Palworld Breeding Mechanics in 2026
Breeding in Palworld is a sophisticated system that allows you to create Pals with optimized stats, rare passive skills, and unique combinations unavailable in the wild. The breeding system operates on several fundamental principles that every player should understand:
- Cross-Species Breeding: Any male and female Pal can breed together regardless of species differences, making every combination possible
- Breeding Power Formula: A mathematical calculation determines offspring species based on hidden power values
- Passive Skill Inheritance: Up to 4 passive skills can be passed from parents to offspring with high probability
- IV System: Individual Values for HP, Attack, and Defense are averaged and inherited across generations
- Special Fusions: Specific parent pairings create unique variant Pals that override normal calculations
The Breeding Power Formula Explained
Every Pal in Palworld has a hidden "Breeding Power" value ranging from 10 to 1500. This numerical system determines which offspring will result from breeding. Lower numbers represent rarer and more powerful Pals, while higher numbers indicate common species.
Breeding Power Formula
Offspring Power = Floor((Parent1 Power + Parent2 Power + 1) / 2)
The game adds both parents' breeding power values, adds 1, divides by 2, and rounds down. It then selects the Pal species with the breeding power closest to this calculated result.
