Although combat in Palworld is not as strategic as the turn-based battles in the Pokémon franchise, Pocketpair's multiplayer survival game still features an element chart with its own strengths and weaknesses for each type of Pal, much like the system seen in Nintendo's games. For example, a Water Pal may be weak against an Electric Pal but strong against a Fire Pal.
These elemental interactions are important if you want to fight more efficiently and take down your enemies much more easily. That is why, in this section of our guide, we will show you Palworld's element chart so you can learn how to take advantage of it from the very beginning of your adventure.
Below, you can check out a reference image showing the 9 Pal elements in Palworld and their respective strengths and weaknesses:
To see exactly which elements each type is strong or weak against, take a look at the following table:
| Element | Effective against | Weak against |
|---|---|---|
Water | Fire | Electric |
Dragon | Dark | Ice |
Fire | Ice and Grass | Water |
Ice | Dragon | Fire |
Neutral | None | Dark |
Dark | Neutral | Dragon |
Grass | Ground | Fire |
Electric | Water | Ground |
Ground | Electric | Grass |
As you can see, each type or element performs better or worse depending on the element it is facing. For example, the Neutral element has no type advantage in battle, while Fire stands out as the only one of the nine elements that is effective against two other types: Grass and Ice.
It is also worth noting that some Pals in Palworld can have one or even two elements, while still being able to use attacks belonging to other types. This means that a Water Pal may still be able to learn Ice attacks and more.
In any case, this element chart will serve as a general guide whenever you face other Pals. For example, after checking the chart, you will know that if you are about to fight a powerful, high-level Electric Pal boss, the best approach is to use a team of Ground-type creatures, as they are more effective and generally much better suited to weakening this element.
Make sure you study the chart carefully and keep it in mind whenever you head out on an adventure!
