Where to find and catch Penking in Palworld

Penking is a very useful and hardworking Water/Ice-type Pal in Palpagos Island, and for that very reason, there are only two ways players can get one in the game. So, if you’re looking to add Penking to your team, here’s its exact location in Pocketpair’s Palworld.

Palworld has been breaking records since it launched on January 19, and it recently became the second-most played on Steam with less than a week of being live.

Much of the game’s success is due to the number of similarities it has with Pokemon in the creature design department, but mainly because it dared to do the things Game Freak -after more than 25 years- still hasn’t.

For those enjoying this adventure, there’s a Paldeck (similar to a Pokedex) with 111 entries to fill. Some of the Pals are common encounters, while others are more rare and a few only appear as Alpha Pals.

Penking is one rare spawn, so to help you in your quest, here’s exactly how you can get it in the game.

How to find Penking in Palworld

This Pal -which weirdly resembles the Penguin King from The Super Mario Bros. Movie- appears in two different spots on the map and both represent a challenge for any player.

As a wild spawn, you can find Penking in the Southern Wildlife Sanctuary. However, keep in mind that entering any of the three Wildlife Sanctuaries available will put a Wanted target on your back, as this is considered Criminal Activity in the game.

The other option you have to get your hands on a Penking is through an Alpha encounter. Northeast of the Abandoned Mineshaft, through the redwoods, you’ll find a level 15 Alpha Penking waiting for you inside a dungeon.

How to catch Penking: battle tips

Going after either of the Penkings will be tough. With Alpha encounters being harder than regular wild ones, that semi-low level 15 Pal will hit you hard even if you are ready. Plus, a ton of Pengullets act as its minions and will try to freeze you from every side.

On the other hand, going to a Wildlife Sanctuary is a challenge itself, as you’ll be quickly persecuted by officers trying to kill you. More so, the Penkings living there are at least level 22, so you’ll have to spend some time hitting it before catching it.

To raise Penking’s catch rate, you’ll have to lower its health before throwing your Pal Sphere. Being a Water/Ice-type, you can easily deal damage with a pure Electric or Fire-type Pal, as there are no Pals with both types in the game yet.

Remember to be careful not to kill it because then you won’t be able to catch it. Also, bring along plenty of Giga or Ultra Spheres, as well as top-notch weapons to help your Pal lower its HP faster.

Penking is one tough fighter to add to your team, as it has a Partner Skill called Brave Sailor, which -when activated- makes Fire-type Pals drop more items once defeated. Otherwise, if you want to keep it in your base, it will help you out with plenty of tasks from Watering to Mining, Handiwork, Cooling and even Transporting.
