Location of Xenovader
Unlike many other Pals in the game, Xenovader doesn’t have a fixed spawn location. Instead, it can only be encountered during special Meteorite Events. Here’s what you need to know about these events:
- Random Occurrence: Meteorite Events happen randomly across the map, except on Sakurajima Island.
- Notification System: When a Meteorite Event begins, you’ll receive an on-screen notification alerting you to the incoming meteor.
- Map Marker: The event location will be marked on your map with a distinct meteor icon, making it easy to locate.
- Quick Response Required: It’s crucial to reach the event site quickly, as Syndicate Gunners will also be attempting to capture or defeat the Xenovaders.
Preparing for the Encounter
Before setting out to catch a Xenovader, it’s important to be well-prepared. Here are some key points to consider:
- Level Range: Xenovaders typically appear between levels 22 and 25.
- Team Composition: Bring strong Dragon-type Pals to exploit Xenovader’s weaknesses. Jetragon is an excellent choice if you have one.
- Pal Spheres: Equip yourself with high-quality Pal Spheres, such as Legendary or Ultimate Spheres, to increase your chances of a successful capture.
- Combat Readiness: Be prepared for a tough fight. Xenovaders have high attack and defense stats, making them formidable opponents.
How to Catch Xenovader In Palworld?
- Locate Meteorite Events: Xenovader can only be found during Meteorite Events, which occur randomly across the map. These events are marked by a meteor icon on your map.

- Engage and Capture:
- Clear Syndicate Gunners: Defeat any Syndicate Gunners present to prevent interference.
- Weaken Xenovader: Lower Xenovader’s HP using your Dragon-type Pals. Be cautious not to defeat it accidentally.
- Throw Pal Spheres: Once its HP is low, start throwing your best Pal Spheres until you successfully capture Xenovader.
Catching Strategy
Once you’ve located a Xenovader during a Meteorite Event, follow these steps to maximize your chances of catching it:
- Clear the Area: Quickly defeat any Syndicate Gunners present at the site. This will prevent them from interfering with your capture attempt.
- Weaken Xenovader: Use your Dragon-type Pals to lower Xenovader’s HP as much as possible. Be careful not to defeat it accidentally.
- Timing is Key: If multiple Xenovaders are present, consider waiting for them to battle each other, weakening themselves in the process.
- Use Strong Spheres: Once Xenovader’s HP is low, start throwing your best Pal Spheres. The stronger the sphere, the higher your chances of success.
- Persistence: Don’t get discouraged if your first attempts fail. Xenovader is a rare and powerful Pal, so it may take several tries to catch one.
Xenovader’s Abilities and Uses
Understanding Xenovader’s capabilities can help motivate your efforts to catch one. Here are some key features of this Pal:

Additional Tips
- If you’re having trouble encountering Meteorite Events, some players have reported success with manipulating the game’s time settings. However, use this method at your own risk, as it may affect other aspects of gameplay.
- Remember that Xenovader will not spawn during Meteorite Events on Sakurajima Island. On this island, you’ll encounter Selyne instead.
- Consider bringing a Xenogard to Meteorite Events as well, as both Xenovader and Xenogard can be useful for farming meteorite fragments.
By following this guide and with a bit of patience and luck, you’ll soon add the formidable Xenovader to your Pal collection. Good luck on your intergalactic Pal-catching adventure!
