Palworld 1.0 New Pal Route Planner
Palworld 1.0 adds 72 newcomers: 47 Pals and 25 variants, bringing the roster total to 287. This page is a route planner, not a complete location table. The generated Paldeck carries 74 “New in 1.0” labels because it also includes Panthalus and the story boss Astralym.
How to read the list
Use three buckets:
- Region access: open Sunreach and the World Tree before researching their new roster.
- Special encounters: keep bosses and quest entries separate from ordinary catches.
- Profile shortlists: Pals whose stats, work, or mount fields may fit your goal.
If you only want to improve your route, do not start with rarity. Start with utility.
Profile shortlists to research first
| Pal | Why it stands out |
|---|---|
| Solenne | Compare its work and combat fields |
| Renjishi | Compare its work and combat fields |
| Panthalus | Quest Pal for the World Tree route |
| Shaolong | Open its profile and focused Sunreach encounter guide |
| Eidrolon | Compare its profile and mount field |
| Muffly | Compare its profile before assigning a role |
Region research plan
Sunreach
Open the Sunreach Guide, then use your current map and Paldeck to plan a catch loop.
The World Tree
Use the World Tree Guide for access and preparation, then check each target in the current game.
Old map additions
Treat Early Access maps as stale and check the current Paldeck and map before revisiting an older biome.
Special encounters
The rows below cover special encounters that need a different plan from ordinary catches.
| Pal | Type of encounter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Panthalus | Quest encounter | Required for the World Tree route |
| Astralym | Story boss | Entry unlocks on victory, but the Pal itself is not a normal catch |
Practical way to clear the list
- Open the access guides first. Sunreach and the World Tree unlock whole groups of Pals.
- Catch the utility picks first. Do not spend time filling the roster with duplicates before you secure the workers and mounts you will actually use.
- Separate normal spawns from special cases. Boss-only entries deserve a different plan.
- Use breeding when it fits your goal. Compare the current breeding options with your route before committing resources.
- Track what changes your base. If a Pal does not change your base or party, it can wait.
Mistakes to avoid
- Chasing the rarest-looking Pal before you have the route to reach it.
- Assuming every new entry is a combat upgrade.
- Treating boss entries like normal spawns.
- Ignoring work value. A good worker can matter more than a flashy fighter.
Plan the next target
Use the current map and Paldeck for coordinates, time or weather, and acquisition type before committing to a catch loop.
Use the Paldex to browse the profiles marked “New in 1.0,” then open each profile before committing to a route.
Bottom line
Use Sunreach, the World Tree, and special encounters as research buckets. Treat the current game map and Paldeck as the final check for each target; this page is not an exhaustive spawn map.
Frequently asked questions
What is the easiest way to use this guide?
Start with the region research plan, then open Pal profiles for the newcomers that fit your base or party.
How should I choose a first 1.0 Pal target?
Compare each Pal profile with your current base, party, and region access; Panthalus is part of the World Tree route.
How should I research the new Pal roster by region?
Use Sunreach, the World Tree, older biomes, and special encounters as research buckets, then check each target in the current game.
Does this page claim every new Pal is a wild catch?
No. Use the Paldeck labels and each profile's current encounter information to plan your next target.
Which guide helps me unlock the hard-to-reach areas?
Open the Sunreach and World Tree guides first; those pages own region access.
