As you find Pals in Palworld, you’ll notice that they may have passive skills, which buff or debuff them, depending on the skill. Palworld experts will want to make the best use of these skills, so knowing what to look for is important.
Below, we explain how passive skills work in Palworld and list all passive skills we know of.
How do passive skills work in Palworld?
Each Pal you catch will have random passive skills that can reduce incoming damage, boost stats, or do the exact opposite. Ideally, you want to use Pals who have positive passive skills and avoid ones with negative skills.
Pals that you breed will potentially pass down their skills as well, so you can combine Pals will powerful skills to create a super baby Pal.
The only exception to the above is that lucky Pals (those giant, sparkling ones you may see around) will always have the “lucky” passive skill, and caught legendary Pals will always have the “legend” passive skill.
