Breed a Pal in five steps
1. BuildPlace a Breeding Farm at your base and have an Egg Incubator ready.
2. ChooseSelect one male and one female Pal, then check their current 1.0 result before spending Cake.
3. AssignAssign both Pals to the Breeding Farm and confirm that the game recognizes the pair.
4. Add CakePut Cake in the chest attached to the Breeding Farm and wait for an egg.
5. HatchCollect the egg, place it in an Egg Incubator, and hatch the resulting Pal.
Read the combination type
NormalParent order does not change the child.
Same-speciesTwo matching species produce that species.
SpecialThe fixed combination table overrides a power-only prediction.
Gender-directedThe displayed mother and father direction must be followed exactly.
Compare a broad Anubis combination list, a special Incineram Noct recipe, and the gender-directed Wixen Noct combinations.
If an old recipe no longer works
Confirm that the source explicitly supports Palworld 1.0. Then confirm both parent species, variant names, and any displayed mother/father direction. This calculator keeps compatibility and verification information beside each result.
Review the 1.0 changesPalworld 1.0 breeding FAQ
What do I need to breed Pals in Palworld 1.0?You need a Breeding Farm, one male and one female Pal assigned to it, Cake in the farm chest, and an Egg Incubator for the resulting egg.
How is the child Pal determined?The child species comes from the current breeding table. Special and gender-directed combinations can override a normal rank-based result, so use data verified for your game version.
Do parent genders matter?A breeding pair needs one male and one female. Parent direction only changes the child for combinations explicitly marked as gender-directed by the current data.
Why does an old breeding recipe produce a different Pal?Palworld 1.0 broadly revised breeding combinations. A recipe from Early Access or a versionless calculator may no longer match the current table.
Does this guide calculate passive skills, mutations, or IVs?No. This site currently verifies species-level direct combinations; passive skills, mutations, active skills, and IVs are separate outcomes.
