Thestrengths and weaknesses of PalsinPalworldrely on their typing, and while single-type Pals only need to be wary of enemies that are strong against their type, as the game progresses, players will be introduced to dual-type Pals that can offer so much more to their party, especially during battles.
Specific dual-type Pals are stronger than others, since some combinations providecoverage for their elemental weakness, while also giving players more elemental attack options during key moments when trying to defeat bosses, and capturing hardy alpha Pals. The following dual-type Pals exhibit great versatility both in battle and utility during base building and item crafting, so players should be on the lookout to acquire them.
14Chillet
Ice-Dragon Type Pal
Dragon types possess strong attacks, regardless of level, and are always a welcome addition to any player’s party. That said, their weakness towards Ice can be an issue, sinceIce-type Pals and Ice attacks become commonas the game opens up new areas.
This is whereChillet, the Ice-Dragon type Pal comes in. It has great Dragon-type attacks to take care of enemies, while its Ice-type covers the Dragon-type weakness. Players can encounter an Alpha version of Chillet relatively early in the game, and capturing this Pal is a great addition to their party during the early goings of their playthrough.
13Warsect
Grass-Ground Type Pal
During the early game, the typical Grass-Ground type Pals players encounter are Gumoss. These aren’t that strong, but they provide some coverage against Water and Electric-type Pals. However, once players discover the Sealed Realm of the Stalwart near the Gobfin’s Turf fast travel point, they have a chance to capture one of the strongest Grass-Ground type Pals in the game,Warsect.
Warsect’s attacks predominantly focus on Ground-based skills that hit hard. It also has some Grass-type attacks, but for the most part, Warsect is better at unleashing its Ground elemental attacks. Its Partner Skill also grants the player increased defense, while also applying Fire damage to their attack. This allows for even more coverage against Grass and Ice-type Pals.
12Reptyro
Fire-Ground Type Pal
Fire-type Pals are generally useful both in combat and in base-building. This is due to their ability to accomplish Kindling tasks which will become essential once players unlock the different Furnace production items in their base.
Reptyro’s Fire-Ground typingmakes it an excellent base Pal since it can do Kindling and Mining tasks well. Combat-wise, they are serviceable, sinceReptyrohave strong Fire and Ground attacks, but typically need some wind-up before they unleash it onto enemies. Its saddle further increases the efficiency of players’ ore-gathering once it’s been unlocked and crafted.
11Penking
Water-Ice Type Pal
Water-types are fairly common during the early stages inPalworld, with Pengullet often being the best one to get. This is due to its Water-Ice typing: it is a great Pal to have especially when encountering Dragon-type Pals in the wild.Penkings are the stronger versionof Pengullets that have more access to Ice-type attacks, making them excellent Pal for mixing Water and Ice attacks.
Once players have access to the Sealed Realm of the Frozen Wings fast travel spot, they can encounter and catch an AlphaPenkingat a relatively early stage in their runs. Otherwise, they can encounter Penkings at the Wildlife Sanctuary located at the bottom left side of the starting area, but they’ll need to have a flying or swimming mount to get there safely.
10Dinossom
Grass-Dragon Type Pal
One of the more unique dual-types in the game, Dinossom holds the distinction of being the only Grass-Dragon type Pal in the game to date.Dinossomarerelatively easy to encounter, often wandering around the earlier areas, and are relatively hard encounters since most of them start at level 15 and higher.
Its burly build makes it a good tank that can soak damage, while its mix of Dragon and Grass attacks is nothing to scoff at, either. In certain matchups and boss fights, having a Dinossom can benefit players, especially if they are against Ground-type enemies. Creating the Dinossom Saddle allows players to mount their Dinossom, and their attacks become empowered with Grass elemental.
9Broncherry Aqua
Water-Grass Type Pal
While typically a Grass-type Pal,Broncherry Aquaadds the Water-type to an already burly Pal to cover its weakness to Fire. Broncherry Aqua mixes Grass and Water elemental attacks such as Spine Vine and Aqua Burst that hit hard to take out enemy targets. At early levels, it also has its signature move, Muscle Slam, as a neutral elemental attack that has significant power relative to how early it learns the skill.
Utility-wise, once players craft Broncherry Aqua’s saddle if they mount it, they will have increased carrying capacity. This is useful for players who want to establish another base and need to bring supplies to their desired new location.
8Ice Reptyro
Ice-Ground Type Pal
Reptyro are generally known to be Fire-Ground type Pals that possess immensely powerful elemental attacks that they need to charge first before unleashing onto their targets. This is the same for Ice Reptyro: as its name suggests, it is an Ice-type Pal that packs strong Ice and Ground elemental moves that can hit single or multiple targets.
As a base pal,Ice Reptyrohas the same capabilities as its Fire-type counterpart, except that its ability to fulfill Kindling tasks is replaced with Cooling tasks. Its saddle, once crafted, still improves the player’s ability to efficiently mine for ore.
7Vanwyrm Cryst
Ice-Dark Type Pal
Dark-type Pals have strong attacks but have a severe weakness to Dragon-types to balance out their power.Vanwyrm Cryst, an Ice-type variant of the common Vanwyrm, possesses the dual-typing of Ice and Dark. This type coverage allows it to take on Dragon-type Pals head-on in a damage-dealing contest with its strong Ice elemental attacks like Icicle Cutter and Cryst Breath.
As a mount, Vanwyrm Cryst performs similarly to normal Vanwyrms: players need to craft its saddle, and it can fly the player anywhere on the map. When assigned to a base, Vanwyrm Cryst is effective at Cooling and Transportation tasks.
6Vanwyrm
Fire-Dark Type Pal
Vanwyrmare great Fire-Dark type Pals since they can learn powerful elemental attacks to burn and decimate their targets. This is due to their base stats being geared towards offense rather than defense. During combat, savvy players should send out and recall their Vanwyrms frequently to have them avoid incoming attacks, especially since they are weak against Water and Dragon-type skills.
It is alsoa great mount to havesince its Partner Skill grants players increased damage when they are riding their Vanwyrm and targeting an opponent’s weak points. When assigned at the base, Vanwyrms are good at Kindling and Transporting tasks.
5Menasting
Ground-Dark Type Pal
There aren’t many Ground-Dark dual types inPalworld, butMenastinghas this distinction. It excels at dishing out powerful Ground and Dark elemental attacks such as Stone Cannon, Nightmare Ball, and Rock Lance against opponents. Due to its dual-typing, Menasting is also tankier than most Pals, which is an additional advantage, especially when battling bosses.
When assigned to a base, Menasting does have decent Lumbering and good Mining prowess, but it is better suited as a Party member since its type coverage and defensive stats have more impact during battles.
