Every Pal on Palpagos Island has their own unique Partner Skill which can help in combat or while in your base. There’s a lot to remember, but don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here’s every Pal and their partner skill, laid out by Pal number for your convenience.

Partner Skills are a lot like Passive Skills, except each individual breed of Pal has a specific one. It’s worth paying attention to these Partner Skills because they immediately become active and benefit you once you’ve assigned a Pal as part of your party.

There are Pals such as Cattiva that will increase your carrying capacity simply by being on your team, or ones like Lyleen that will actively work to heal you while battling as long as you have it out and fighting beside you.

While most Partner Skills generally aim to boost your attacks, there are absolutely some that are more useful than others. While it’s easy to have favorites based on appearance or personality, Partner Skills should be considered when picking your sidekick and party.

Original Pals and their Partner Skills

These Pals have been around ever sincePalworld‘sEarly Access release at the beginning of 2024. There are a bunch of really useful Partner Skills in the original roster of Pals:

Sakurajima Pals and their Partner Skills

The Sakurajima update (June 2024) added 26 new Pals to Palworld, including completely new ones and variants of more familiar friends. Each has a specific Partner Skill, and all are useful in their ways. Perhaps the most useful, especially if you’re looking to get your hands on a lot of loot, is Mimog, which can open locked chests without needing a key or Lockpicking Tool.

Here’s all of the Pals added in Sakurajima, along with their Partner Skills:

Feybreak Pals and their Partner Skills

Feybreak added just slightly fewer Pals than Sakurajima did, with 24 new or variant Pals to track down and capture. Their partner skills are all useful in certain situations, but Smokie might be the most beneficial thanks to its ability to seek out nearby Chromite, as well as increase hauls of the resource:
