Passive Skills

Traits & passive skills

Inheritance rules for passive skills in Palworld 1.0. The dataset behind this page is still being verified — for now, use the Path Finder to plan species chains and rely on your own in-game breeding for passive inheritance.

What works today

  • Species breeding chains — Path Finder returns the shortest species chain from your inventory to a target Pal.
  • Parent pairs — Combos page lists every verified parent pair that produces a given Pal.
  • Unique combos — flagged separately so you can plan around Pals that cannot be obtained by normal capture.

What does not ship yet

  • Per-mutation probability tables for 1.0 (work in progress).
  • Passive-skill inheritance probabilities per parent pair (community verification ongoing).
  • Per-Pal base stats needed for an exact IV% (validation works, inference does not).

In the meantime

For up-to-date passive inheritance rules, the community-maintained Palworld breeding guides (linked from our blog) are the best reference. Once the dataset is verified, the breeding simulator will surface passive inheritance probabilities alongside each combo.
