Every type of Pal in Palworld has its own unique abilities, traits and stats. But obviously some Pals are stronger in some areas than others. Here’s a look at the strongest Pals for combat, working at the base, and the some of them make great all-rounder Pals too.

Palworld’s 137 Pals run the gamut from cute to creepy, meaning there’s a Pal for just about every player’s tastes. But for some, it doesn’t matter what a Pal looks like, it matters what it does.

There are many ways to play the game, after all. While simply catching Pals and building cool bases is enough for some, others prefer to get into the nitty gritty, tailoring their Pal parties for maximum efficiency.

For those looking to keep the sturdiest and fiercest pals on hand for any situation, here’s the strongest Pals for combat, to have in base.

Anubis is an SS tier Pal who can do just about everything, except carry players on its back. It’s also breedable by around level 20, making it a powerful choice for a strong Pal during the mid-game.

With varied work suitability, it does well in base too. But its ability to dodge and the additional Ground damage it provides make it one of the strongest Pals for combat.

Palladius

As the game’s fastest ground mount, Palladius is a no brainer for those looking for a strong combat Pal who can also help with exploring the map.

Astegon

Palworld Astegon Wumpo
