Highlights
- Each Pal in Palworld has unique skills and abilities, but they can be taught and bred to learn new skills from different Element Types.
- The nine Element Types in Palworld have different strengths, weaknesses, and Active Skills, with Ground Pals being strong against Electric Types and vulnerable to Grass Types.
- Active Skills are attacks used by Pals during combat, and they can be learned and passed on to other Pals through the use of Fruit Trees or acquired through leveling up.
There are a tremendous variety of Pals for players to encounter throughout Palworld's Palpagos Islands. Each Pal comes with their own unique skill-set, though they can be taught and bred to learn new skills, even from different Element Types. Element Types are a categorization for each Pal, and will determine their strengths, weaknesses and Active Skills. Active Skills are the attacks used by a Pal during combat, and differ from Partner Skills, in that they do not need gear to be crafted to unlock them.
All Night Exclusive Pals in Palworld
Some Pals only spawn at night. Here's a list of all the night-exclusive Pals in Palworld, including their spawning locations and more.
There are a total of nine different Element Types: Water, Ice, Fire, Electric, Dark, Neutral, Grass, Ground and Dragon. The Ground Element Type is strongest against Electric Types and most vulnerable to Grass Types. Ground Pals can learn a handful of very potent Active Skills that can make combat a breeze.
8 Stone Cannon
Missile Attack Which Fires A Rock At Enemies
- Power: 70
- Charge Time: 15
Stone Cannon is a relatively basic Active Skill available to many Ground Type Pals. When used, this attack will cause a Pal to dig up and hurl a large boulder from the ground, dealing large amounts of damage to any target it hits.
For many Ground Element Pals, this is a mid-level skill, and it can also be taught to Pals of other Element Types through the use of Fruits, which can be used to upgrade the skills of the player's Pals.
- Available To: Tanzee, Fuddler, Mozzarina, Mossanda, Eikthyrdeer, Eikthyrdeer Terra, Grintale, Surfent Terra, Digtoise, Verdash, Cryolinx, Reptyro, Mammorest Cryst, Warsect. Menasting
7 Giga Horn
Causes Warsect To Impale Enemies With Its Large Horns
- Power: 75
- Charge Time: 11
Giga Horn is a strong Ground Type skill exclusive to the large, beetle-like Warsect. This powerful attack will cause Warsect to charge and skewer enemies with its large mandibles, which can have the effect of temporarily pacifying enemies in addition to causing a lot of damage.
Palworld: 10 Of The Best Early-Game Pal Companions
Palworld is a survival open-world game, and these accessible Pals will improve a tamer's life expectancy during their early hours.
Like many unique Active Skills, these animations and attacks are species-specific and therefore cannot be acquired by other Pals through the use of Fruit Trees. When facing Warsect in combat, there is very little defense against this maneuver other than to dodge as far away from it as possible.
- Available To: Warsect
6 Sand Tornado
Summons Two Destructive Tornadoes To Attack Enemies
- Power: 80
- Charge Time: 18
Sand Tornado is one of the more powerful Ground Type Active Skills and is available to a wide range of Pals. When used, this attack generates two tornadoes on either side, which are then launched at enemy targets.
This can be a great skill when outnumbered, but for some weaker Pals it will require a lot of leveling before they are able to unlock it. Since it is not an exclusive skill, this attack can be learned and passed on to other Pals if Sand Tornado Skill Fruits are acquired.
- Available To: Chikipi, Gumoss, Hoocrates, Fuddler, Mau, Tocotoco, Hangyu, Eikthyrdeer Terra, Nitewing, Cinnamoth, Galeclaw, Robinquill Terra, Surfent terra, Digtoise, Beakon, Ragnahawk, Anubis, Special Flower Gumoss
5 Earth Impact
Smashes The Ground Causing Damage To Any Nearby Enemies
- Power: 100
- Charge Time: 30
Earth Impact is a very strong area-of-effect ability unique to Mammorest, the mammoth-like Pal with green fur on its back. This attack will cause Mammorest to jump into the air and slam its large body onto the ground, which shakes the surrounding earth and causes damage to any enemies standing on it.
Palworld: 6 Pals You Should Not Sell
There are some Pals found in Palworld who may be worth a lot of gold, but are even more valuable when they're put to work in the correct way.
This ability is especially useful when surrounded or facing enemies in a concentrated group at close range. Mammorest can be found in a variety of places throughout the game world. As a unique skill, it will not be possible to teach this to other Pals, even those of the Ground Element type.
- Available To: Mammorest.
4 Spinning Roundhouse
A Fast Attack Which Deals Damage In A Circle
- Power: 100
- Charge Time: 21
This attack is one of several Active Skills unique to Anubis, the Egyptian-inspired Pal, who is one of the strongest Pals in the Ground Element category. Spinning Roundhouse will cause Anubis to use a spinning kick, which will arc around and damage any enemies caught in its radius.
While this skill will not be available until Level 22, it is at these higher levels that Anubis really begins to shine. The attack is ideal for fending off and cutting down groups of smaller enemies, but will likewise be effective against single enemy units.
- Available To: Anubis
3 Forceful Charge
A Head On Charge At Very High Speed
- Power: 120
- Charge Time: 28
Forceful Charge is a strong Ground Active Skill, once again exclusive to Anubis. With this attack, Anubis will pursue enemies with a vastly increased movement speed, all the while releasing energy which causes damage and dishing out powerful punches on opponents within range.
7 Survival Games Where Crafting Is Key
Crafting is a vital part of many titles, but players will have no hope of survival if they don't craft well in the following survival games.
This ability can work equally well against both groups of enemies and bosses alike, and with a relatively short cooldown period, it is a very effective attack for Anubis to use. When facing Anubis, it can be difficult to defend against this attack, at least without some movement speed enhancements to counter the speed bonus of the attack.
- Available To: Anubis
2 Ground Smash
Strong Area-Of-Effect Skill For Anubis
- Power: 140
- Charge Time: 35
Ground Smash is another extremely powerful attack exclusive to Anubis. With a relatively short cooldown time, this ability can be used at almost double the rate of some other powerful Active Skills, and will deal damage across a wide area.
When used, Anubis will leap into the air before landing with a large area-of-effect blast, so it is worth watching out for this wind-up and jumping at the right time if facing an Anubis in combat. The skill can be particularly useful when surrounded by large numbers of less powerful enemies.
- Available To: Anubis
1 Rock Lance
Launches Enemies Into The Air With The Help Of A Large Spike
- Power: 150
- Charge Time: 50
Rock Lance is the most powerful Ground Active Skill available to Ground Type Pals. This attack deals huge amounts of damage and creates a rock spike underneath enemies which can launch them into the air.
Palworld: All Legendary Schematics and Their Locations
Legendary schematics can be used to level up your gear in Palworld. Here’s how you can collect all of the Legendary schematics in the game.
The ability is available to a range of good Ground Element Pals, and for those that cannot learn the skill naturally, there is a Rock Lance Fruit that can provide the skill. This skill can be especially effective against single, strong enemies, but can also work against groups.
