Nitewing is a Neutral Pal (Paldeck #051) in Palworld 1.0.5. You can find it in the wild at Lv 12–40 near Islandhopper Coast and as an alpha (Lv 18) at Isle of Murmurs Beach. Its best base job is Gathering Lv 2. To breed it, pair Flopie + Finsider, the earliest of 118 combos. It drops Leather.
What two Pals make Nitewing?
#118 combos (incl. Nitewing × Nitewing) hatch Nitewing. The recommended pair is the one whose parents you can both catch earliest (how we rank pairs). A combo is an unordered pair of parents (A + B is the same combo as B + A), the same-species pair included; a pair whose child depends on which parent is male is counted under each child it can give.

How to catch Nitewing
#Estimated chance per throw against a wild Lv 12 Nitewing, at full HP and at 30% HP, with no Lifmunk Effigy bonus. A Mega Sphere is the cheapest sphere that catches it at least half the time once it is weakened.
| Sphere | Full HP | 30% HP |
|---|---|---|
 Pal Sphere | 27% | 47% |
 Mega Sphere | 42% | 73% |
 Giga Sphere | 58% | 92% |
 Hyper Sphere | 82% | 98% |
Alpha Nitewing (Lv 18): alphas are about 30% harder to catch; a Giga Sphere gives 65% per throw at 30% HP.
Estimate from the community capture formula (Palworld wiki); the game does not publish its catch table.
