There are nine element types in Palworld, and each pal is assigned one of these element types. All of these elements' pals are weak against one element and powerful against another. So, in order to assemble the greatest possible pal squad, it's important to understand each pal's strengths and weaknesses.

This can assist you in determining which pal to utilize in which circumstance and estimating the likelihood that you and your group will prevail in a battle, particularly when trying to capture or defeat higher-level pals or bosses in Palworld.

Palworld Type Chart Explained

palworld type chart-1

There may be some similarities between the type charts in Palworld and Pokemon; however, Palworld's type chart is far more straightforward. Every pal has a single strength and a single weakness. The Fire type, which is powerful against two other types, and the Neutral type, which is strong against none, are the only exceptions.

In case you are not acquainted with the concept, elemental strength indicates which kind of pal is more potent against a specific type. For example, when put against any grass-type pal in a battle, fire-type pals will do more damage and be more powerful than grass-type pals.

The weakness works in a similar way, indicating which kind of pal is more vulnerable against the other. For instance, it would not be wise to send a water-type pal into combat against an electric-type pal since water-elemental pals are weaker than electric-elemental opponents.

Now that you know the basics of the type chart, let’s look at the detailed type chart with every type’s strengths and weaknesses.

Why Is Type Chart Important

It's important to understand the type chart in order to decide which pals to utilize and when. For instance, you should include some strong fire-type pals in your team if you are hunting for some ice-type in the cold biome. However, if you try to use a dragon-type pal against an ice-type one, it's likely that your pal will lose horribly.

Thus, you must know your pal’s strengths and weaknesses to assess their potential and take advantage of their elemental strength. Using the right pal type can bring some amazing battle outcomes, and you might even catch some pals much higher than your level.

For example, if trying to catch an Alpha Pal like Mammorest, you should use some strong fire-type pals against it. In such case, even if you are some levels weaker than the level 38 Mammorest, you can defeat it easily and add it to your Palbox.

It is recommended to capture some strong pals from all the nine types available to make the most out of the elemental strengths and weaknesses. This will allow you to strengthen your squad and provide you with more to choose from during a fight.
