Paldeck
This collection covers selected Pals and example builds. The patch date identifies a release reference; it does not establish that every Pal stat, breeding combination or combat value has been retested.
The portraits below are pulled from the official Palworld Wiki. Pair each portrait with the stat line for a quick visual reference.
Each entry lists element type, work suitability (what jobs the Pal excels at in your base), drops, habitat, and a capture rank (1 = easy early sphere, 5 = legendary boss). Exact stats vary with level and patch — treat numbers as directional and verify in-game.

What the Paldeck entry covers
This collection covers selected Pals and example builds. The patch date identifies a release reference; it does not establish that every Pal stat, breeding combination or combat value has been retested.
The ten elements at a glance
Palworld's ten elemental types form a rock-paper-scissors web: Fire beats Grass and Ice, Water douses Fire, Electric grounds Water, Ground grounds Electric, and the Dark, Dragon, Neutral and Grass lines fill out the rest of the chart. No element is dominant — every type has two answers and two victims, which is why the team builder insists on mixed rosters.
Work suitability is the hidden tier list
Base stats decide fights, but work suitability decides your base: a Pal with kindling four smelts faster than any legendary with kindling one, and the rarest drops mean nothing if nobody in the roster can plant, water or generate electricity. When two entries tie on stats, the higher work tier is the better Pal for how the game is actually played.
Roster growth and update tracking
The deck covers over one hundred creatures, from the starting Lamball to the legendary Jetragon, and the roster grows with every major update. New Pals land in the deck as their data is verified in-game, which is why the entry count and the update log page move together — if a new Pal is missing, the log says which patch added it and what the guide still owes you.
Base stats and what the numbers mean
The stat columns are comparable across the whole deck: health, attack, defense and speed read the same for a Lamball as for a Jetragon, so a column scan answers the only question that matters — what is this Pal better at than the one I already use. Legend-tier entries justify their rank by leading at least two columns at once; everything else earns a slot by work suitability or an element your roster is missing.
Reading drops and habitats together
Every entry lists what the Pal drops and where it spawns, and the pair is more useful than either alone: a useful drop on a common spawn is a farming target, a rare drop on a night-only spawn is a hunt, and everything in between is a note for the resources map. Planning capture sessions around drop needs is the quiet way the deck feeds the crafting economy.
How the deck is ordered and filtered
Entries sort by deck number, which tracks the game's own index and keeps related evolutionary or regional lines adjacent; the element and work-suitability filters exist for the two questions players actually ask — what can fill this base role, and what counters this boss. Both filters compose, so a two-click query usually narrows a hundred-plus roster to a handful of honest candidates.
