Welcome to our official guide to Palworld! This viral gaming sensation of 2024, now available in its definitive 1.0 version since July 10, 2026, is an open-world survival game featuring firearms and a huge variety of special creatures called Pals. Much like Pokémon, you can catch and train them while building and managing a base, teaming up with friends and much more.
To help you through all of this, below you'll find the different sections of our guide, packed with tips, tricks, answers to all your questions and everything you need to know to get the most out of your adventure. Find out how to catch every Pal!
In Palworld, information about Pals is compiled in the Paldeck, a kind of encyclopedia packed with useful information about each creature, including their Work Suitabilities, elements, habitats, Partner Skills and more. In this section of the guide, we show you every Pal available in the game so you can learn all about them in advance, as well as other useful details such as the following:
If you've just started playing Palworld, you'll probably want to know which are the best Pals in the game to catch and train. With such a varied roster of creatures, we've put together a Tier List divided into different categories to show you the must-have Pals you shouldn't let get away.
Every player in Palworld can craft their own weapons to attack enemies or defend themselves against the dangers of the world. Although they start out fairly basic, you'll gradually gain access to a more powerful arsenal, particularly firearms such as assault rifles, shotguns and even rocket launchers. Here we'll show you the best weapons in the game, divided into tiers, so you can equip them as soon as possible.
Much like the Pokémon series, Palworld has an Element Type Chart that lets you check the strengths and weaknesses of Pals before they fight one another. After all, using a Water or Electric Pal against a Fire-type Pal can produce very different results. If you want to make the most of this strategic element, you'll need to study the chart featured in our guide.
In April 2024, Palworld finally introduced the much-anticipated Raid Boss battles through an update. In this section of the guide, we'll tell you everything you need to know about summoning bosses at your bases, how these battles work and what rewards you can earn from them.

We know this can be somewhat complicated for players who are new to the genre, so we'll walk you through the process with a simple tutorial and recommend the best locations for building your home at different stages of the game and for different needs. We'll also explain how to move or relocate your bases.
Palworld features a huge range of resources and materials that players can stockpile in their inventories.
