TheType chartinPalworldis a flowchart that shows which elements—or Types—are weak or strong against others. This is particularly useful if you’re planning your party and want to make sure you have the strongest team composition available.

As well as capturing Pals, you canhatch eggsto help fill out your roster. In fact, it’s probably the safest bet until you get a more reliable party together or have acquired some of thebest Palsto fill out your squad.

Palworld Type chart: How it works

Each Pal has a Type and this helps determine what it’s strong against, as well as its element weakness. This helps you to figure out which pals you want in your party so you can easily take down specific enemies.

There are nine Types in Palworld, and these are:

You can find the Type chart in the Survival Guide section of the menu—see the screenshot of it above—though it’s a little difficult to read if you’re not sure what you’re looking at.

As you can see, it makes sense to aim for at least one Pal of every Type, that way you should be prepared for anything an enemy throws your way. Of course, something like Neutral might be less desirable because, while it should do the same damage to every type as nothing is strong against it, nothing is weak against it either and it does have its own element weakness in the form of Dark.
