How to Get Suzaku in Palworld 1.0 — Location, Fight & Breeding

By Palworld Gaming Team · Updated 5 November 2026 · Palworld 1.0

Where do you catch Suzaku in Palworld 1.0?

Suzaku lives in the desert. Game8's 1.0 guide lists wild spawns in the Desert Biome West and East, day and night, plus a fixed level 45 Alpha boss at (324, 483), north of the Sandstone Plateau Watchtower fast-travel point. AllThings.How's 1.0 relocation guide gives (326, 483) for the same boss — the same spot, a couple of steps apart, so navigate to the watchtower and look for the boss marker.

Do not use the old coordinates. Pre-1.0 guides put the Suzaku Alpha at (404, 256), south-east of Duneshelter; that position is retired, and any guide still sending you there was written before 1.0.

Bring heat-resistant armour, a flying mount you already own, and more spheres than you think you need — the Alpha is level 45, so this is a mid-to-late-game catch, not an early-game detour.

How do you beat the Suzaku Alpha boss?

Suzaku is a pure Fire type, so Water-type attackers are the natural counter — the same matchup logic that applies across the type chart. Its partner skill, Wings of Flame, is about riding rather than fighting, so do not expect the boss itself to behave differently from other Fire Alphas: keep your distance from its area attacks, use ranged damage to wear it down, and switch to your best spheres once its health is low.

Clear the surrounding wild Pals first so nothing joins the fight, weaken Suzaku steadily rather than risking a knockout, and remember that Alpha bosses respawn — if the capture fails, you can return and try again.

How do you breed Suzaku in Palworld 1.0?

Breeding is the route most players will actually use: the 1.0 table gives Suzaku 197 verified recipes out of 44,850 pairings. Put one male and one female parent in a Breeding Farm with a Cake in the chest (see our cake guide), and check any pair in the breeding calculator before committing parents — 1.0 rewrote the table and Early Access lists are wrong.

There is no two-common-Pal shortcut. Every cross-species recipe pairs one common Pal with one rare one — the breeding-power maths averages the two parents to Suzaku's breeding power of 1200. Verified examples include Celaray Lux + Panthalus, Aegidron + Cawgnito, Dandilord + Tombat and Jetragon + Chillet. If you own none of those rare parents, catching the desert Alpha is faster than building a chain to one first.

Once you own your first Suzaku, the line becomes self-sustaining: Suzaku + Suzaku always hatches Suzaku, which is how you roll for better passive skills without going back to the desert. Our best passive skills tier list explains which rank-4 passives are worth chasing on a mount and fighter like this, and our breeding guide covers how inheritance works across generations.

How do you get Suzaku Aqua, the Water variant?

Suzaku Aqua is one of the 77 special combinations in Palworld 1.0, and it is a much tighter target than Suzaku itself: only 2 of 44,850 pairings produce it — the special combination Jormuntide + Suzaku, or true-breeding with Suzaku Aqua + Suzaku Aqua. The special combination overrides the normal breeding-power calculation entirely, so Jormuntide + Suzaku always makes Suzaku Aqua, whatever the parents' breeding powers. Full details on the water half of the pair are in our How to Get Jormuntide guide.

The variant is not just a palette swap. From the 1.0 game files, Suzaku Aqua is Paldeck No. 122 (variant), rarity 9, with 105 Attack, 125 HP and 105 Defense and ride speed 1100. Its work line is completely different: Watering 6 instead of Kindling 5, so Aqua is a base water worker while the original is a furnace Pal.

Suzaku is also the key to another special combination — Eidrolon + Suzaku makes Eidrolon Ignis — and as an ordinary parent it appears in pairings producing 91 distinct children, so one Suzaku feeds a large share of the mid-game breeding chart.

What are Suzaku's stats in Palworld 1.0?

From the 1.0 game files, Suzaku is Paldedex No. 122, rarity 8, with 105 Attack, 120 HP and 105 Defense — a combined 330 — with breeding power 1200 and ride speed 1100. That ranks 102nd of 299 for Attack, 39th for HP and 78th for Defense: not a top-tier damage dealer, but genuinely sturdy for a flying mount — a mount that can take a hit, not a glass cannon.

Its only work suitability is Kindling 5, a solid mid-tier furnace level. Its partner skill, Wings of Flame, lets Suzaku be ridden as a flying mount, and OP.GG reports that it raises movement speed further for each other Fire Pal in your party; the saddle unlocks at Technology level 43, according to OP.GG. At ride speed 1100, Suzaku sits below the fastest flyers — Jetragon at 3300 leads our fastest flying mounts ranking — but it is available far earlier than the endgame speedsters.

Is Suzaku worth getting in Palworld 1.0?

• An accessible flying mount. A level 45 desert Alpha and 197 breeding recipes make Suzaku far easier to obtain than the true-breeding-only legendaries, and ride speed 1100 is a real upgrade over early-game flyers.
• A sturdy mount, not a damage star. 120 HP (39th of 299) against 105 Attack (102nd) means Suzaku survives fights its damage cannot finish quickly — pair it with stronger attackers rather than building around it.
• A chain-breeding hub. As a parent it produces 91 distinct children, and it is the key to two special combinations — Suzaku Aqua (with Jormuntide) and Eidrolon Ignis (with Eidrolon).
• A useful base worker in either form. Kindling 5 on Suzaku and Watering 6 on Suzaku Aqua give both forms a real job when they are not being ridden.
• Watch the old guides. Any guide sending you to (404, 256) predates 1.0 — the Alpha moved to (324, 483) near the Sandstone Plateau Watchtower, and pre-1.0 breeding lists are equally unreliable.
