How does Palworld breeding work?

Palworld breeding combines two parent Pals to create offspring. The child's species is determined by breeding power values (BPV), while passive skills are inherited from parents with specific probabilities.

How do passive skills inherit in breeding?

Each parent can pass 1-2 passive skills to offspring. The probability depends on skill tier and parent compatibility. Higher tier skills have better inheritance rates.

What is chain breeding in Palworld?

Chain breeding involves breeding multiple generations to combine desired passive skills and optimize stats. It's essential for creating powerful Pals with multiple S-tier traits.

How Breeding Power Values (BPV) Work

Every Pal has a unique Breeding Power Value that determines offspring. When two Pals breed, their combined BPV is calculated using the formula:

Child BPV = (Parent1 BPV + Parent2 BPV) / 2

The resulting child will be the Pal species with the BPV closest to this calculated value.

Passive Skill Inheritance System

Skill Tier	Base Inheritance Rate	With Breeding Items
S+ Tier	70%	85%
S Tier	65%	80%
A Tier	55%	70%
B Tier	45%	60%

Optimal Breeding Strategy

Start with Base Pals: Use low-tier Pals with desired skills as foundation
Skill Stacking: Breed parents with complementary skills
Chain Breeding: Use offspring as parents for next generation
IV Breeding: Focus on stats after securing passive skills

Work Specialization Breeding

Mining Specialists

Best combination: Anubis with Artisan + Work Slave skills

Breeding path: Penking + Bushi → Anubis

Farming Experts

Best combination: Lifmunk with Artisan + Serious skills

Breeding path: Use Lifmunk as base, breed with skill carriers

Advanced Techniques

IV Breeding System

Individual Values (IVs) affect base stats. Each stat has an IV from 0-31, with higher values being better.

Gender Ratio Optimization

Some Pals have gender-specific breeding requirements. Plan accordingly for rare combinations.

Element Type Considerations

Offspring element is determined by parent combination. Some combinations can produce variant types.

Frequently Asked Questions

Breeding time varies by Pal tier. Common Pals take 5-10 minutes, while legendary Pals can take 30+ minutes. Using breeding accelerants can reduce this time.

Yes, breeding identical species produces the same species with combined passive skills. This is useful for skill consolidation.

Legend, Musclehead, and Ferocious are top-tier combat skills. Legend provides balanced bonuses while Musclehead maximizes attack at the cost of work speed.

Rare breeding materials are obtained from defeating boss Pals, exploring dungeons, or trading with merchants. Some materials increase inheritance rates significantly.
