Palworld Breeding Calculator — Combos & Power Reference

Every Pal pair produces a deterministic offspring — no randomness for species. This interactive calculator uses the verified Breeding Power (combi rank) formula to predict exactly which Pal hatches from any two parents. It also shows 27 special override combos that ignore the formula entirely — the only way to breed elemental/fusion variants like Relaxaurus Lux, Mossanda Lux, and Lyleen Noct. Legendary and raid Pals such as Shadowbeak, Orserk, and Jetragon have no such combo at all: in the current game the only pair that produces them is two of their own species, so you need to catch or defeat one first.

01How the Breeding Power Formula Works

Every Pal has a hidden Breeding Power value (also called combi rank) ranging from 10 (rarest, most powerful) to 1500 (most common). When two Pals breed, the game calculates the child's target rank as floor((powerA + powerB + 1) ÷ 2) — rounding down the average of the two parents — then picks whichever breedable Pal has the closest power to that number.

Two key consequences follow from this:

• You cannot breed a Pal stronger than your rarest parent. If your rarest parent is Anubis (570), the average will never dip below 290 no matter what you pair with it.
• Same species always gives same species. Two Anubis always produce another Anubis — useful for stacking passive skills without changing the species.
• Special combos override everything. 27 specific pairs produce a fixed child regardless of the formula — but only for elemental/fusion variants (the Lux, Noct, Cryst, and Aqua forms). Legendary and raid Pals are not among them; they only breed true from two of themselves.

The formula is cross-checked against palworld.wiki.gg's Breeding page and individual Pal pages. This dataset reflects the base-game roster and combo list — Pals added in the July 2026 Palworld 1.0 update (Sunreach and World Tree species, and raid bosses like Bellanoir) are not yet included here, so check the official wiki for anything from those zones.

03Reading the Results and Planning a Chain

If the calculator shows a Special Override Combo, that exact pair is the only two-different-species path to that child — no other cross-breed produces it directly. For example, Lyleen + Menasting is the only route to Lyleen Noct via crossbreeding. Legendary and raid Pals like Shadowbeak, Orserk, and Jetragon are not on this override list at all — they breed true only from two of themselves, so you need to obtain your first one by catching it or beating its boss fight.

If the result comes from the formula, you can work backwards: to target a specific Pal, breed parents whose average power lands close to your target's power. Example — Anubis has Breeding Power 570, so any pair of parents whose average lands near 570 hatches an Anubis instead of a rarer or more common neighbor on the power scale.

For passive-skill chaining, pair two of the same target species (same species always produces the same species) so every egg is about the passive lottery rather than species roulette.

1. Use the calculator to confirm which species a pair produces.
2. If species is wrong, adjust one parent — changing one parent's power by 100 shifts the average by 50.
3. Once species is locked, breed same-species pairs to concentrate the 4 target passives.
