If you're looking to get hold of some rare Pals to help you survive and thrive, you'll need to know how Palworld breeding works.

There are over 130 Pals, and without breeding it could take you forever to catch them all.

With the promise of more Pals to come via updates, too, that number only looks like growing.

You'll need new strong Pals to take on the upcoming Bellanoir Raid, as well, which promises to be a tough battle.

Fortunately, breeding Pals together is relatively straightforward once you know how to do it - and is a massive time saver.

Unfortunately, there are tons of breeding combos in the game, which means you won't know which Pals to breed to birth the Pal you want.

Sorry, there's no known Bellanoir breeding combination - the new Pal isn't in the game as of writing!

Luckily for you, we know how it all works and what the best breeding combinations are. Here's how to breed Pals in Palworld and the complete list of breeding combos.

How to breed Pals in Palworld

If you want to breed Pals in Palworld, you need to do the following:

  • Construct a Breeding Farm
  • Place a male and female Pal in the Breeding Farm
  • Supply the Breeding Farm with cake and make sure it doesn’t run out
  • Allow time to pass for the breeding meter to increase
  • If the breeding process is successful, the female Pal will lay an egg
  • Take the egg and pop it in an incubator

If you breed Pals of the same species, you can choose ones that have complementary stats for better-rounded Pals, or ones that have the same stats to buff them up. Lucky Pals (think Shiny Pokémon) can also be bred so that you can stock your base with the most overpowered Pals Palworld’s ever seen.

How to make cake in Palworld

Cake is required to get Pals to engage in breeding and to make it, you need to craft the Cooking Pot, which is unlocked at level 17.

The ingredients of which are as follows:

  • Flour – x5
  • Red Berries – x8
  • Milk – x7
  • Eggs – x8
  • Honey – x2

We’re not sure what’s so special about this cake, but it is seemingly the most powerful aphrodisiac known to Pals. Who are we to question the logic? We write about video games, not animal husbandry, after all. Maybe this has been what’s missing from Pokémon all this time…

Breeding different Pal species in Palworld

You aren’t just limited to breeding Pals of the same species, as you can chuck any two different Pals of the opposing gender in the Breeding Farm and see what kind of Pal you’ll get at the end.

It’s best to put a little thought into this, however, as you can actually get some of the rarest and most powerful Pals in the game by doing this. For instance, by combining Necromus and Beakon you can take home an Astegon.

We’re not sure if Charles Darwin's work on the theory of evolution is canonically present within Palworld, but we’re sure he’d love this part of the game - and would be working overtime to make as much cake as possible.

With over 130 Pals to breed, it gets complicated quickly when trying to figure out all of the potential combinations out there. Fortunately, people far cleverer than us have come up with a Palworld breeding calculator that takes out all of the guesswork.

One such example can be found on Palworld.gg and it's super simple to use.

All you need to do is select one parent, and then click on the second "Select Parent" box and add another Pal parent, and it will give you the outcome.

Alternatively, you can click on "Find All Combinations for Child ( reverse )" and select your desired Pal to bring up a list of all the potential combinations out there.

How to build a Breeding Farm in Palworld

To craft a Breeding Farm in Palworld, you need to reach level 19 and unlock it via Technology Points. It can then be built with 50 fibre, 20 stone and 100 wood pieces. Once constructed, you will be able to usher your Pals of choice in and wait for them to get busy.

To the right of the Breeding Farm fence is a crate where you need to put the cake. Keep it topped up or the breeding meter will stop and you won’t get your egg at the end of it. Once they are inside, well fed and happy, you’ll receive the notification 'Love is blossoming between two Pals'. How sweet…

Palworld is available in early access across Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows.
