Though breeding Pals inPalworldis a lengthy and expensive process, it’s a worthwhile investment if you want a steady source of eggs to hatch. Sure, you can find eggs out in the world, but doing it yourself lets you decide thebest breeding comboin terms of valuable traits you want to retain.
It’s certainly a process of trial and error, but selectively breeding your rarest and most valuable Pals allows you to combine work suitabilities with the right traits, create the perfect speedyPalworld mount, or even Pals that are super powerful in combat. Since acquiring new Pals provides XP, it can also be a way to steadily level up even when hanging out at your base. Here are some of the best Pal breeding combos with an explainer on how to actually breed them below.

Palworld Breeding Combos
Penking and Bushi will also breed an Anubis but the combo below is much easier to attain an early Anubis, in my opinion.(Image credit: Pocketpair)
The first step in choosing Pals to breed is determining whether they’re male or female—you can do this when you inspect them via the gender symbol next to their name. It’s best to choose eitherLucky Pals, Alpha Pals, or your rarest Pals, since these often produce huge eggs and better offspring.
Breeding a perfect set of passive skills doesn’t work the way you’d assume, either. Based ona lot of player research, it seems that the most reliable way to have a Pal inherit the desired passive traits from its parents is touse two parents with separate, desired skills. So if you have a dream combo of four passive skills, make sure one parent has two of them and the other parent has the other two instead of using two parents with the same four passive skills.

If you’re looking for some of thebest Palworld breeding combosbe sure to check the table below. While there are multiple ways to breed certain epic Pals, the ones listed here are my favorite pairings, since most of them don’t require Pals that are hard to find, and they let you claim useful and epic rarity Pals that are great for combat and come with strong utilities andwork suitabilitiesearlier than you’d find otherwise.

Before you’re ready to breed your Pals in Palworld, you need to do two main things:
These both require a fair bit of work, especially if you want your breeding farm to run like clockwork. First off, you canresearch the breeding farm at level 19, but it doesn’t require any difficult materials. Make sure youbuild it in a nice open area that doesn’t clip into anything, since otherwise Pals can get confused and leave mid-process.
The next step is baking that cake. You’ll need to research and construct thecooking pot at level 17, as well as themill and wheat plantation at level 15. Ideally, you’ll also have at least one ranch so you can get a steady flow of the necessary ingredients:
Finally, you’re ready to make your cake at the cooking pot. Since it takes a long time, it’s better touse a Pal with level 2 or 3 kindling like Arsox or Wixen. Once done, take the cake and place it in the box at the breeding farm—one cake will make one egg, hence why it’s important to choose your breeding Pals wisely.
Once you’re ready to get your Pals breeding, simply:
Pals don’t require a cake in order to fill the breeding progress wheel—it’ll simply stay full until a cake is available. Cakes take significantly longer to make than breeding does, though, so you’ll want to have one ready whenever possible.
