Palworld

Catching Pals

Palworld catching is a stamina and sphere budget. Throw at a weakened Pal. Blind throwing at full HP is how you go broke.

Chip, then throw

Use a Pal that matches the element. Burn the HP, then sphere. Status effects help. Ego boxing a boss with a rusty club does not.

Higher spheres on higher ranks. Saving a hyper sphere for a common Pal is backwards.

The Palbox is a factory

Caught Pals work. Catch workers for the jobs you actually have: mining, planting, kindling. A sixth combat Pal you never deploy is a bed hog.

Base Pals need food. A starving ranch produces nothing.

World bosses are group content

Bring pals that can tank. Solo hero attempts waste time and spheres. Come back with a plan.
