Palworld Pal Locations: How to Find & Catch Any Pal
Current as of June 2026 (pre-1.0). Palworld 1.0 (July 10, 2026) adds new Pals around the World Tree and a second island - we will add them once they are live.
You don't need to memorise every spawn - Palworld tells you where to look. There are 187 Pals (111 unique plus elemental variants), and which ones appear depends on the biome and the time of day. This guide covers the system that finds any Pal, then the spots for the most-wanted ones.
The fastest way to find a specific Pal
- Open the Paldeck - every entry you've encountered lists its habitat on the map, so the game points you straight at the region.
- Match the biome. Fire Pals live in the volcano/desert, Ice Pals in the snowfields, Grass/Ground in the forests and plains, and so on.
- Check the clock. Many Pals are day-only or night-only in the same area. In the Sakurajima region, the night spawns are all Dark-element versions and hit harder.
Special spawn types
- Field bosses - marked Alpha Pals at fixed spots; higher level, guaranteed spawn, great for catching a strong specimen.
- Wildlife Sanctuaries - three protected islands hold rare Pals you can't find elsewhere (catching there flags you for the PIDF, so go prepared).
- Dungeons - rotating spawns and chests; good for elemental variants.
Where to find the legendaries
| Legendary | Where |
| Jetragon | Field-boss spawn in the far volcanic south - caught only, never bred. |
| Frostallion | Field boss atop the northern ice region. |
| Necromus / Paladius | The Dark/Holy duo - bosses near the Eternal Pyre / Twilight Dunes area (one or the other depending on time of day). |
| Anubis | Field boss in the desert dunes - or breed it early (Penking + Bushi). See the best Pals list. |
Exact coordinates and level for each boss show on the in-game map marker once you're in the region.
