The 10 Fastest Flying Mounts in Palworld 1.0 — Ranked by Real Ride-Speed Data

By Palworld Gaming Team · Updated 21 October 2026 · Palworld 1.0

What is the fastest mount in Palworld 1.0?

Jetragon, at a sprint speed of 3,300. Nothing else in the game files comes close: Panthalus sits second at 3,000 and Shaolong third at 2,800, so Jetragon is a full tier above the field. The gap is why veteran players treat a Jetragon as the game's defining travel upgrade — it crosses the map in roughly the time a mid-tier flyer takes to leave its own island.

The catch is everything else about it. Jetragon is true-breeding-only in the 1.0 combination table (exactly one of 44,850 pairings produces it: Jetragon + Jetragon), so your first one must be caught — a level 70 Legendary Alpha at the northern section of Sunreach Island, per gameshorizon's 1.0 flying-mount guide — and its saddle unlocks at level 70 with a stamina pool of just 110. Fastest does not mean longest: at 3,300 speed, 110 stamina drains in seconds, which is why ScreenRant's mount guide stresses planning hover breaks rather than holding sprint. Our Jetragon guide covers the catch and the fight in full.

Panthalus, the runner-up at 3,000, plays a very different game. It is a quest reward — gameshorizon notes you complete the Panthalus questline and simply hop on — so it skips the saddle grind entirely, and backyarddrunkard's 1.0 mount breakdown confirms it cruises and sprints at a flat 3,000 with no stamina-gated sprint boost. It also guards your base from the air when unridden (its Resonant Guardian partner skill patrols the skies and bombards intruders). If you want 90% of Jetragon's speed with none of the level-70 grind, Panthalus is the practical answer.

The 10 fastest flying mounts, ranked by ride speed

Speeds are the 1.0 game files (RideSprintSpeed); stamina and saddle unlocks are from pindrop.gg's flying-mount tier list, last updated four days before this guide and verified against the same files. Every mount below is confirmed flyable in 1.0.

Two things jump out of the data. First, the cliff: after Eidrolon Ignis at 2,750, the next tier drops nearly a thousand points to 1,800. The top five are a different league — endgame Pals with endgame costs. Second, stamina inverts the story at the 1,800 tier. Frostallion, Frostallion Noct and Selyne carry 300 stamina — almost triple Jetragon's 110 — so for long survey flights a Frostallion at 1,800 out-ranges everything above it on the list. Speed wins sprints; stamina wins continents.

The Eidrolon pair deserves a special note. Both variants gain a movement-speed buff for every Dragon or matching-element Pal in your party (Liberated Pterosaur and Resentful Pterosaur, per gameshorizon), and backyarddrunkard's breakdown confirms the buff can stack dramatically in a themed lineup. On paper they sit 550 points behind Jetragon; in a full Dragon party they are the only mounts on this list that can argue about it.

Which flying mount should you get first?

Work the list from the bottom, because the saddle levels are a progression map. At level 15 you can saddle a Nitewing (750 speed) — the first real flyer most players own. By the 20s and 30s, Elphidran (800, saddle 20), Vanwyrm (850, saddle 21) and Beakon (1,200, saddle 29) each double your travel speed; Ragnahawk (1,300, saddle 33) and Suzaku (1,100, saddle 43, with a huge 350 stamina pool) bridge the mid-game. All of these breed from cheap early parents in the 1.0 table — Nitewing from Nitewing + Gobfin, Vanwyrm from Maraith + Prixter, Elphidran from Leezpunk Ignis + Dazzi Noct — so you can roll good passives onto them for almost no Cake.

At the 40–60 band the mount game changes character: Shadowbeak (1,200, saddle 47, and a 15% mounted Dark-damage boost via Modified DNA), Selyne (1,600, saddle 53), Faleris (1,400, saddle 60) and Frostallion (1,800, saddle 62) are all combat mounts that happen to fly, not taxis. Our Shadowbeak, Faleris, Frostallion and Beakon guides cover each catch with 1.0 locations. The top five — Jetragon, Panthalus, Shaolong, the Eidrolons — are post-story rewards for a finished account.

Can you breed the fastest mounts?

Mostly no, which is why the fast ones stay prestigious. We checked all 44,850 pairings in the 1.0 table, and the true-breeding-only club is crowded at the top: Jetragon, Panthalus, Shaolong, Xenolord, Selyne, Necromus, Paladius, Frostallion and Faleris each have exactly one recipe — themselves plus themselves. Your first of each must be caught (or quested, for Panthalus); breeding only perfects them afterwards, merging passives and rolling IVs per our breeding guide.

The exceptions are the interesting part. Eidrolon has 263 verified recipes in 1.0 — the most open of any top-tier mount — and the practical route is Dandilord + Roujay, two farmable mid-game Pals. Eidrolon Ignis hatches from Eidrolon + Suzaku (or Ignis + Ignis). Frostallion Noct is a special combo: Frostallion + Helzephyr. Faleris Aqua comes from Faleris + Jormuntide. These four are the only top-10 flyers you can breed your way toward instead of catching outright — and each is the kind of multi-step project our cheapest breeding pairs guide is built for. Verify every recipe in the breeding calculator before spending Cake, because Early Access guides still list retired recipes for half of these Pals (we documented the pattern in our breeding mistakes roundup).

What is the fastest ground mount?

Necromus. The 1.0 game files give it a sprint speed of 1,900 — faster than six of the ten flying mounts above — and linegames.org's mount roundup names it the fastest ground mount in the game, found in the far northeast of the Desecrated Desert next to Paladius (1,800 in the 1.0 files). Both are true-breeding-only, so the Desert trip is mandatory, but a 1,900-speed ground mount that double-jumps is the answer when dungeons and caves make flying irrelevant.

Ground mounts are a sidegrade, not a consolation prize: they need no stamina management in tight spaces, and Necromus's 145 Attack (joint third-highest of all 299 Pals in our strongest Pals ranking) means the fastest ground mount is also one of the hardest hitters in the game. Fly to the fight, land on a Necromus.
