Palworld: Best Ice Active Skills (& The Pals That Have Them)

There are a select few Ice Active Skills available in Palworld, and these are some of the best to choose from.

Water is one of the types, populated by a myriad of Pals, some better than others, and hosts numerous active skills applicable to different areas of gameplay. As Palworld is an open-world game, water-types are found throughout the map, and some can even be found within the first few hours of the game. So, it is worth knowing which locations are better than others for catching various or powerful water Pals.

5 Eastern Wild Island, Marsh Island, Sea Breeze Archipelago, Forgotten Island, Ice Wind Island

Numerous Locations Featuring Less Powerful Pals

Available Pals:

  • Fuack
  • Pengullet
  • Teafant
  • Celaray

Despite this entry listing various locations, they all host the same water-type Pals in a similar concentration between them. Pengullet and Celaray are the least common Pals in these locations, but can still be found regularly when visiting.

Done to ensure balance, these locations feature a good frequency of the three water-type Pals mentioned, but don't host any stronger, more powerful water Pals. Any players new to the game will find these locations useful as Pengullet and Teafant are good early on, but for those who have progressed further, other locations will be more valuable.

4 Bamboo Groves

Solid Earl-Game Pals That Are Spread Out

Available Pals:

  • Relaxaurus
  • Fuack

Featuring another hunting ground for Fuack, this location could prove fruitful for players who are still in the earlier stages of the game. The main reason to visit this location is to obtain a Relaxaurus, one of the strongest water Pals worth catching. However, they are spread out in this location compared to other hotspots.

Palworld: All Mineshaft Locations

Learn where to find all the Mineshaft locations in Palworld so you can get legendary weapons, armor, and many useful resources.

This area technically also hosts another Pal, but one that is underground and not actually in the Bamboo Groves. Broncherry Aqua can be found in the Shoal Mineshaft and is a strong water-type Pal. At times, a subspecies of a specific type must be bred to obtain it, as is the case with Elphidran Aqua and Suzaku Aqua, but not Broncherry Aqua, which can be caught here instead. However, if not going for Broncherry Aqua, Relaxaurus would be the only reason to head here.

3 Verdant Brook

A High Concentration Of Pals In A Small Area

Available Pals:

  • Gobfin
  • Surfent

Verdant Brook is a large area featuring numerous Pals roaming within it. The Gobfin's Turf fast travel point is specifically where some very good water-types can be found.

The aptly named Gobfin's Turf hosts Gobfin, a strong water Pal, but also features Surfent, one of the best Pals to ride with its mount Partner Skill. Both of these Pals are solid water-type options worth catching, especially with the location being a bit smaller, making it easier to spot them. Both of these Pals are decent to use on a base, but only have a few Work Suitabilities between them. Gobfin, however, can be used as a good support Pal due to its Partner Skill that buffs attack power.

2 No. 1 Wildlife Sanctuary

Home To Some Excellent And Versatile Water-Type Pals

Azurobe also has a boss version if players want more of a challenge than a regular Azurobe. Both of them can be found in No. 1 Wildlife Sanctuary.

Alpha pals are difficult to defeat, but their abilities make it worth the effort for Palworld players.

Both of these Pals are good for use on a base due to their Work Suitabilities. Penking is especially competent at this, with five different Work Suitabilites.

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.

The appearance of a Jormuntide is mainly what makes this location a great spot, but Surfent can also be found here. Jormuntide is a great addition for combat, but can be used on a base as well. Surfent is a bonus benefit to visiting this area, and is a solid option for both combat and work, as well as a decent choice to ride as a mount.
