If you've been caught up in the phenomenon that is Palworld, you're probably desperately trying to get up to speed with the basics and what you need. And what you need is a fast flying mount to make island traversal a breeze.

Palworld is having one heck of a launch week after its early access release on PC, Xbox and Xbox Game Pass. Billed as 'Pokemon with guns', there are a lot of systems to get to grips with outside of the obvious monster-catching mechanic. The world is filled with critters galore so finding the best Pals early in Parlworld will go some way to making your initiation easier, as will collecting Ancient Technology Points and spending them on useful items like the must-have Grappling Gun.

Adding mounts to your Pal collection will also serve you well for getting about the island, and while there are options for both ground, sea, and air, we're zeroing on the fastest flying mounts in Palworld, including the speediest of them all – Jetragon. At least, it's the fastest for now; developer Pocketpair shared its Palworld roadmap which includes new islands, bosses, and Pals, so the landscape may change further down the line. But that won't be happening for a while yet, given the immense amount of fixes that need addressing first.

So let's get right into the fastest flying mounts in Palworld, where to find them, and how to catch them to get you airborne. We've also included a complete list of flying mounts in Palworld in case speed isn't a top priority for you.

Fastest flying mounts in Palworld ranked

Of the 13 available winged Pals, we can drill down the list of fastest flying mounts in Palworld to around four, with Jetragon in the number one spot. Of course, the better the flying mount, the harder the prerequisites to catch them, from accessibility on the map, the technology level you need to be at to unlock their saddles, the items you need to make the catch, and the strength of the Pals in your lineup.

Nitewing is the first flying mount in Palworld you'll be able to get your hands on, and will make do until you level up and can take on the stronger monsters. All Pals have different types, partner skills, and tasks they're best suited to, so don't feel pressured to pick the fastest flying mount if you need a Pal more utility than just getting you from point A to point B in the shortest time possible. That being said, here's our top picks for the fastest flying mounts in Palworld ranked from fastest to... not so fast.

All flying mounts in Palworld

Below is the current list of all flying mounts in Palworld so far, with the list possibly expanding when new Pals get added some time further down the line. You'll also need to have the appropriate Technology Level to unlock saddles for the various mounts, so bear in mind some of the flying mounts in Palworld won't really be available to you right from the get go. We've got their type, partner skill, and where you can find them
