TOOL
Answer 4–5 questions and get a data-driven TOP 3 Pal recommendation tailored to your playstyle.
Palworld has 288 Pals, each with unique work suitabilities, combat stats, and habitat level ranges. This tool runs a weighted scoring algorithm across your chosen purpose, stage, element, and activity schedule to surface the 3 Pals that best match your answers.
For base work, work level and work speed are weighted heavily. For combat, stats matching your chosen style (firepower, tank, or speed) are weighted, and for mounts, sprint riding speed is the primary driver. Element match, nocturnal preference, and how closely a Pal's habitat level matches your game stage all add bonus points.
The weights are this site's choice, not an official rating. The stats and work suitability they use come from the game data.
Stage: up to 30 points the better the Pal's habitat level range fits the chosen stage. Pals without habitat data get 10.
Element: +25 if the Pal has the chosen element, -40 if it does not.
Activity: choosing night gives nocturnal Pals +20 and others -15. Choosing day gives nocturnal Pals -10 and others +10.
Base work: the chosen job's suitability level times 20, plus work speed times 0.02. Pals that cannot do the job are removed.
Combat: firepower adds (ranged + melee attack) / 3, tank adds HP / 10 + defense / 5, speed adds ride sprint speed / 20 + run speed / 30. Mount adds ride sprint speed / 15 + run speed / 30, and all-round adds total suitability levels times 5 plus (ranged attack + HP) / 30.
Choosing base work with Handiwork, early game, and no preference for element or activity gives this top 3: Solenne (162 points), Selyne (142), Silvance (132).
