Meteors are falling all around the map in Palworld, leading to an opportunity for players to stock up on meteorite fragments. These fragments will go a long way to creating some unique weapons and other possibilities in the future, but it won't be a simple task to get to them. Some pals may have a say in the retrieval of these meteorite fragments.

Xenovader is a terrifying dark-type Pal that is sweeping Palworld by storm due to its menacing appearance. Standing on its two hind legs, Xenovader has a sinister grin with sharp fangs and claws that could rip apart the toughest materials. Encountering one is not for the faint of heart, as Xenovader can overwhelm pals and players with its power and defense.

Where to Find and Catch Xenovader in Palworld

Like Xenogard, Xenovader will also be found whenever a meteor falls to the ground. Meteors is an event in Palworld that involves a large cluster falling from the sky and crashing on a random place on the map. Luckily, these events occur in the same spot players are in, making it easy to track them down and locate the cluster.

The difficulty comes with what lies ahead, as Syndicate Gunners will be close by to collect the meteorite fragments for themselves. They won't be alone either, as these Syndicate Gunners will have a trusted Xenogard or Xenovader by their side, used to fend off any enemies and destroy the cluster in order to gather resources.

In the event of Xenovader being the ally, there is a strong chance that two opposing Syndicate Gunners will fight over the cluster, using their Xenovaders to attack one another. This is a perfect opportunity to watch from a distance and swoop in to catch the weakened Xenovaders, take down the Syndicate Gunners, and collect the meteorite fragments.

Xenovader will be between levels 22 and 25, making it reasonable to defeat them one-on-one. The best bet is to wait out the battle between the two Xenovaders, as it will limit the risk of taking any damage while giving players the chance to catch both. The Syndicate Gunners should be taken down first to minimize the threat.

Xenovader Skills & Work Suitability, Explained

Xenovader's main utility is its partner skill, Meteorite Enthusiast, which is perfect for farming meteorite fragments. This skill allows players to farm meteorite fragments more easily when Xenovader is on the team, and the likeliness of gathering more of this resource than usual is a good possibility. During escapades involving fallen meteors, having both Xenovader and Xenogard on the team is ideal.

Xenogard's dark typing is also promising for a pal with good attack and defense. Using moves like Nightmare Ball and Dark Laser will quickly eviscerate any pal or syndicate member in the way, and its exclusive move, Evil Claw, makes good use of the razor-sharp claws on its hands, using them to swipe at the target. One swing of their hands will chop up the opposition in no time.

Back home at the base, Xenovader has a level 2 lumbering and transporting work suitability, a bonus to its combat power and partner skill. By this point, players will have other pals who are more capable of lumbering and transporting roles but can be useful in dire circumstances. For the most part, Xenovader is a good dark-type pal to have on the team for meteors and taking down pesky neutral types that litter every Palworld region.
