Palworld 1.0 tier lists

Quick answer

Our Palworld 1.0.5 tier lists are computed, not voted: each ranks Pals by base game data with a published formula. The overall list weighs combat stats 45%, work 35% and mount speed 20%. Role lists cover combat, mining, base workers, flying mounts and ground mounts, and all rebuild after each patch.

Most Palworld tier lists are opinions. Ours are formulas, so you can see exactly why a Pal sits where it does, and they update themselves when a patch changes the numbers. There are six. The overall list below combines combat stats, work ability and mount speed. The combat list ranks Attack, HP and Defense. The mining and base worker lists rank every Pal by its level in each job, with night workers and easy early catches marked. The flying and ground mount lists rank by sprint speed. Each page states its formula, the fields it uses and the tier thresholds. One thing no computed list can see is your own Pal: passives, talents and condensation can move a Pal up a full tier or more. Use these lists to choose which species to invest in, then use the breeding guides to make your copy strong.

Role tier lists

Overall tier list

An overall tier list answers one question: which Pals are worth the most effort? Instead of ranking by feel, we combine three things every Pal can be measured on. Combat (45%) is the same Attack, HP and Defense score as our combat list. Work (35%) rewards a high best job and gives partial credit for extra jobs. Mounts (20%) add value for Pals you can ride, scaled by speed. Each part is a percentile against all Pals, so no single stat swamps the rest. The formula and weights are below, and the list rebuilds whenever a patch changes the data. Use it to decide what to breed next, not as a verdict: a Pal in B tier with four good passives and four condensation stars will beat an untouched S tier one. Two related questions this list doesn't cover. Expeditions: success depends on your team's level-based power, not on species, so any high-level team works. Partner skills aren't in our data yet, so Pals whose value is mostly their partner skill may play better than their tier.

Method

Part	Rule
Who is ranked	All Pals in data/pals.json.
Formula	score = 0.45 * combat + 0.35 * work + 0.20 * mount
Percentiles	pct(x, field) = percentile rank of the Pal's value among the population, 0-100 (ties share the average rank). Computed at build time from data/pals.json.
Ties	higher combat component, then name A-Z
Components	combat: the combat.json score (0.50pct(attack) + 0.25pct(hp) + 0.25pct(defense)); work: pct(best_level + 0.5 sum(other_levels)) over all Pals; Pals with no work = 0; mount: pct(ride_sprint_speed) within the Pal's mount group (flying vs ground, as defined in the mount lists); non-mounts and gliders = 0; unranked mounts (Xenolord) = 50
Tiers	S: score in the top 5% of the population; A: next 15% (top 5-20%); B: next 30% (20-50%); C: next 30% (50-80%); D: bottom 20%

Tiers are computed from base-species data in data/pals.json (Pal Calc DB, Palworld 1.0.5). They ignore passives, talents (IVs), condensation and level, which you control. Unofficial fan site; not affiliated with Pocketpair.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Pal in Palworld 1.0?

It depends on the role. The overall list ranks all Pals together; the combat, mining, base worker and mount lists rank each role separately.

How are these tier lists made?

From base game data with a published formula per list. Percentile-based lists put the top 5% in S tier; work and mount lists use level or speed thresholds.

Are the tier lists updated for 1.0 patches?

Yes. They are rebuilt from the game data whenever a patch changes stats, work levels or speeds; the current lists use Palworld 1.0.5.

Do passives and condensation count?

No. The lists score species only. Passives, talents and condensation are yours to add and can raise any Pal a tier or more.
