The Palworld Randomizer is one of the most fun ways to replay the game. It shuffles which Pals spawn where, so the starter Meadows might be guarded by a Jetragon and your first catch could be anything from over 140 Pals. This guide explains how the randomizer works, the two modes, and how randomizer seeds work.

What the randomizer does
Normally, Palworld spawns specific Pals in specific regions — Lamball, Cattiva and Chikipi in the starter areas, tougher Pals later. Random Pal Mode replaces those spawns with randomly selected Pals from the full pool of 140+. The result is a completely fresh run where you never know what you’ll find — a brilliant way to experience the game again with friends.
The two randomizer modes
| Mode | How it works |
|---|---|
| Randomize by Region | Keeps each region’s normal level range. A starter zone still spawns low-level Pals — just different ones — so the difficulty curve stays fair. |
| Completely Random | Anything can spawn anywhere at any level. You might face a level 50 Pal in the first zone, so it’s far more chaotic and challenging. |
For most players — especially a first randomizer run or a co-op group — Randomize by Region is the better choice because it keeps progression playable. Go Completely Random when you want pure chaos.
How randomizer seeds work
This is the part people search for most. The randomizer uses a seed to decide Pal placement:
- Same seed = same world. Enter a specific seed and you’ll get the exact same Pal placements every time — the randomization is deterministic.
- Share seeds with friends. If someone shares their seed, you can enter it to play the identical randomized world — great for competing on the same run.
- Leave it blank for true random. No seed means a fresh, unpredictable shuffle.
So when you see “randomizer seed lists” or a “seed checker”, they’re ways of sharing and previewing what a given seed produces. To play a specific shared world, just drop that seed into the seed box when you set up the randomizer.
Tips for a great randomizer run
- Start with Randomize by Region so early fights are survivable.
- Catch everything early — with random spawns you might find a powerful Pal in the first zone. Bring spheres; see our catch rate guide.
- Lean on the type chart. You’ll face out-of-place elements constantly, so knowing matchups matters more than ever — keep our type chart handy.
- Share a seed so your whole group plays the same wild run.
Run the randomizer on a dedicated server
The randomizer shines in co-op, and running it on a Palworld dedicated server lets your whole crew share one randomized world that stays online 24/7 with full PC and Xbox crossplay — everyone playing the same seed, discovering the same chaos together. Our randomizer documentation walks through enabling it and entering a seed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Palworld randomizer?
A mode that replaces normal Pal spawns with random Pals from the full roster, so you never know what you’ll encounter. It has Randomize by Region and Completely Random modes.
How do randomizer seeds work?
A seed makes randomization deterministic — the same seed always produces the same Pal placements, so you can share seeds to play identical worlds. Leave the seed blank for a truly random run.
Which randomizer mode is best?
Randomize by Region keeps level ranges fair and is best for most runs. Completely Random is for players who want maximum chaos.
