Palworld Work Suitability Checker

Find the best Pals for each of the 12 base work skills in Palworld — Kindling, Watering, Planting, Generating Electricity, Handiwork, Gathering, Lumbering, Mining, Medicine Production, Cooling, Transporting, and Farming. Each Pal's skill level (L1–L5) determines how fast it performs that work and which workbenches it can use. Click any Pal to open its full Paldex entry.

Work Levels — What Do They Mean?

• L1 — basic ability. Slow but functional. Often paired with another skill (Lamball does L1 handiwork + L1 transporting + L1 farming).
• L2 — solid. Most early-game work Pals are L2 in their primary skill.
• L3 — fast and unlocks higher-tier workbenches. Examples: Penking L3 transporting, Kingpaca L3 lumbering.
• L4 — top-tier mid-late game. Anubis L4 handiwork, Beakon L4 generating electricity, Mossanda Lux L4 gathering + handiwork.
• L5 — endgame ceiling. Reserved for top-tier Pals like Jormuntide (L5 watering), Wumpo (L5 transporting + lumbering), Faleris (L5 kindling).

Base-Building Strategy by Tier

Early game (level 1–15): you need at least one L2 in kindling (cook food) and one L2 in handiwork (craft tools). Foxparks does both. As soon as you can, breed for a Pal with mining + handiwork together (Cattiva is mediocre at both but covers the gap until you catch a better one).

Mid-game (15–35): build out a 4-Pal base team — one Pal each for kindling, handiwork, mining/lumbering, and transporting. Add a watering Pal once you place plantations.

Late game (35+): replace early Pals with L4+ specialists. A typical endgame base has Anubis (handiwork), Beakon or Orserk (electricity), Faleris or Pyrin (kindling), Wumpo (transporting + lumbering), and Jormuntide (watering). Add Jormuntide Ignis if you need fire+water in one slot.
