Best Pals in Palworld to catch early on in the game
Find out which pals you should focus on catching first within 2024’s first breakout video game hit on Steam and Xbox Game Pass.
I’ll say it: you can’t hear the phrase ‘Pokemon with guns’ and not be intrigued. Palworld has been on people’s radars for a while, yes, but what nobody could have predicted was that this curious mix of sandbox survival and creature collecting would go on to become one of the biggest games on Steam ever; the Palworld Twitter account announced that in less than a week, it beat out the likes of Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy and more in terms of the highest concurrent player count of paid games in Steam history – with the exception of PUBG as the account acknowledged after it was pointed out. If you want to see what the fuss is about, you’ll surely want to know all about the best Pals in Palworld if you're just starting out and where to find them.
Catching pals in Palworld works similarly to other entries into the genre, whereby you must deplete a Pal’s health low enough to make them vulnerable to then capture them using a Pal Sphere. In a stark change to Pokemon, however, you don’t need to battle Pals using other Pals and can instead deplete their health using whatever weapon you have equipped, such as a bow. With that out of the way, here’s a brief list of the best Pals in Palworld we’d recommend catching early on.
Best Pals in Palworld if you're just starting out
Your enjoyment of Palworld can be incredibly reliant on which Pals you choose to put in your starter squad. After all, the traversal and combat abilities of each are all different, so it’s important not to double up on one that is already doing the job of the other. The following is a list of the best Pals in Palworld to find and catch during the opening hours.
Tanzee
Location: Hills northwest of the Plateau of Beginnings
Why Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's six week delay is a good thing
When it comes to chopping the wood needed to build your first Palworld base, a grass element Pal like Tanzee is essential. Sure, you could fill this position with Lifmunk, but Tanzee is an equally great worker that gets extra points due to its ability to fire an assault rifle in battle. Its usefulness in combat, as well as in early crafting back at the Logging Site, makes Tanzee an easy recommendation for one of the best Pals to seek out and catch early on.
Celaray
Location:Marsh Island, near water
Palworld is quite generous early on in that it gifts you with a glider to get around a la The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you want a new-and-improved glider that is far superior, however, it’s definitely worth seeking out a Celaray early on and catching it. This ability becomes available once you unlock its Partner Skill, but even before then it comes in handy back at base due to its use watering crops.
Cattiva
Location: The Plateau of Beginnings
If you want to be able to smash up rocks and mining early on, then Cattiva is one of the best Pals you can come across early on. These cat-like critters are much more versatile than Lamballs – the initial worker type Palworld pushes on you initially – as they are a great route to making stone an unlimited resource. Stone is needed to craft Pal Spheres so you can never have too much. This helps give Cattiva a clear edge when it comes to mining.
Eikthrydeer
Location:Grassy Behemoth Hills
Finding a good mount is key to your enjoyment of Palworld early on, and you could do far worse than the awkwardly named Eikthrydeer. It’s a deer, of course, but one that is also ideal to chop down trees when you’re not saddling up to get around easier via simple riding and double jumping. Just bear in mind you’ll need to be around level 11 to complete a successful Eikthrydeer catch. Once in your party, it can be used to mow down tons of smaller Pals.
Daedream
Location: Small Settlement, Grassy Behemoth Hills (most commonly at night)
The player base has already discovered that a Dark-type team is the best way to get ahead in combat early on. Daedream can be used for both transporting and crafting goods, sure, but more so than that you can use it as a turret to shoot down enemies quickly in the early game. This is Daedream’s partner skill, which is unlocked by crafting its necklace back at the Pal Gear Workbench. You’ll be demolishing wildlife without a worry in no time.
