The Pals in Palworld, much like Pokémon, can learn different special moves to attack their opponents during battles. These moves are known in the game as Active Skills and should not be confused with Passive Skills. Each creature can equip up to 3 different Active Skills, which they can learn by leveling up or inherit through breeding.
Every move has its own attributes and characteristics, and some are naturally better or more effective than others. A few are also exclusive to certain groups of Pals. You will probably want the best Pals in your party to have the best Active Skills, so in this section of our guide, we will show you which moves stand out for each of Palworld's 9 main elements. This should give you a better idea of which skills to choose for your creatures.
