How to breed Pals in Palworld

Palworld Breeding

Breeding Pals in Palworld is a system that gets more complex the more you examine it, but at the most basic level, here's how it's done.

  1. Get to level 19, research the Breeding Farm, and build one at your base.
  2. Build a Cooking Pot (unlocked at level 17).
  3. Bake a Cake in the Cooking Pot (this takes a while). 
  4. When it's done, put the Cake inside the chest that comes attached to the Breeding Farm.
  5. Put the two Pals you want to breed (they must be opposite genders) into your base's workforce from the Palbox.
  6. Lift them and throw them at the Breeding Farm to assign them to it. 
  7. If they're compatible, come back in about twenty minutes or so. 
  8. There should be a new Egg in the middle of the farm and the Cake is gone.
  9. Take the Egg to an Incubator and it should hatch, creating a new Pal.

If you don't have the Palworld Incubator, the attached guide will help you unlock it. Breeding is a relatively basic process on the surface, but there's all sorts of mathematics and equations happening behind the scenes that determine what kind of Pal you get, as well as unique combos still being discovered. If you want to get into the real details of numbers, we recommend checking out reddit user blahable's explanation of the process, which has helped a lot of people already.

Palworld Cake Recipe

Cake in Palworld is essential to breeding, and requires the following ingredients to make:

  • Flour x5. You can get flour by growing Palworld Wheat and putting it through a Mill built at your base.
  • Red Berries x8. Very easy to obtain, growing a Berry Plantation is one of the first steps when making a Palworld base - otherwise, try looking around the Plateau of Beginnings for berry bushes.
  • Milk x7. Build a Ranch and assign Mozzarina to it.
  • Egg x8. Build a Ranch and assign Chikipi to it.
  • Honey x2. Build a Ranch and assign Beegarde to it (or go and fight Cinnamoths in the middle of the map).

Once you have all these ingredients, you need to put them in a Cooking Pot. This process takes a long time - you'll want a Pal with a high Kindling score to cook it ASAP, and even then, you should come back in about half an hour before it's ready. If you want to make multiple cakes, build multiple Cooking Pots and have a team of Fire-Element Pals all working away in a makeshift patisserie.

Guides Editor, GamesRadar+

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and Very Tired Man with a BA from Brunel University, a Masters from Sussex University and a decade working in games journalism, often focused on guides coverage but also in reviews, features and news. His love of games is strongest when it comes to groundbreaking narratives like Disco Elysium, UnderTale and Baldur's Gate 3, as well as innovative or refined gameplay experiences like XCOM, Sifu, Arkham Asylum or Slay the Spire. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at Eurogamer, Gfinity, USgamer, SFX Magazine, RPS, Dicebreaker, VG247, and more.
