Early Pal for Each Work Type

Only Pals whose minimum habitat level is 20 or lower are counted, and two Pals are picked for each work type. Fill the empty jobs at your first base with the Pal you meet first, then swap in the stronger Pal as your habitat level rises.

The strongest Pal is the one with the highest work level. On a tie, the Pal with the lower habitat level comes first, then the one with lower Food. The Pal count is the number of Pals in habitats up to level 20 that have that work suitability.

First Breeding Recommendations

Unique breeding combos where both parents can be caught in the early game. Unique combos override the breeding rank formula, so the child is guaranteed.

How These Tables Are Picked

Every table on this page is computed from the game data. Early Recommended Pals shows 16 of the 83 Pals with a minimum habitat level of 20 or lower and at least one work suitability, ordered by minimum habitat level. Essential Early Base Workers are Pals with a minimum habitat level of 15 or lower and a work level of 3 or higher, ordered by work level. The first breeding combos are the first 6 of the 17 unique combos (out of 258 in the game data) where both parents have a minimum habitat level of 15 or lower. Habitat level is the wild spawn level range listed in the game data, and Food is the game value as is (1 to 9).
