CalcKitPalworld Breeding Calculator
Parent Pals
Fan-made tool using community breeding data from Palworld 1.0. Not official and not connected to Pocketpair. Special-variant Pals (Ignis, Aqua, Noct and similar) only come from fixed recipes, so they are not in the results. Version 1.0 added a small chance of a mutated egg, which can give a stronger Pal than the normal result.
Example: Gorirat (2,140) + Warsect (1,280) average to 1,710 — exactly the breeding power of Maraith, so the egg hatches a Maraith.
Behind the numbers
How the child Pal is calculated
Every Pal species has a hidden number in the game data called its breeding power (CombiRank). Lower numbers mean rarer, stronger Pals — Chikipi sits at 3,080 while Anubis sits at 480. When two different Pals breed, the game averages the two parents' breeding powers and the egg hatches the Pal whose breeding power is closest to that average. If two Pals are equally close, the one with the higher breeding power wins. Two Pals of the same species always make that same species. This calculator holds 178 Pals with their breeding powers from the Palworld 1.0 game data, and finds the closest match among them.
Target power = (parent 1 power + parent 2 power + 1) ÷ 2, rounded down. The child is the Pal whose breeding power is closest to the target; on a tie, the higher power wins. Worked example: Gorirat 2,140 + Warsect 1,280 = 3,420. (3,420 + 1) ÷ 2 = 1,710 (rounded down). Maraith has breeding power 1,710 — an exact match — so the egg hatches a Maraith.
Worked examples
Example combinations
| Parent 1 | Parent 2 | Average power | Child |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gorirat (2,140) | Warsect (1,280) | 1,710 | Maraith |
| Lamball (3,050) | Cattiva (2,760) | 2,905 | Daedream (tie: 2,900 / 2,910, higher wins) |
| Chikipi (3,080) | Cattiva (2,760) | 2,920 | Nox |
| Cattiva (2,760) | Penking (2,070) | 2,415 | Needoll (tie: 2,410 / 2,420, higher wins) |
| Lamball (3,050) | Lamball (3,050) | 3,050 | Lamball |
Tips for breeding
Work backwards: pick the Pal you want, find its breeding power, then choose two parents whose powers average close to it.
Breeding a child back with its rarer parent moves each generation closer to the rare Pal — that is how breeding chains work.
Two of the same Pal always give that Pal, which is the safe way to farm more of a species you already have.
Remember that lower power means rarer: pairing two common Pals usually gives a mid-game Pal, not a common one.
Check the special recipes first: variant Pals like Chillet Ignis or Bushi Noct only come from fixed parent pairs, not from the average rule.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What is breeding power in Palworld?
It is a hidden number (called CombiRank in the game files) assigned to every Pal species. It is never shown in the game. Lower numbers belong to rarer, stronger Pals and higher numbers to common early-game Pals, and the average of the two parents' numbers decides the child.
Can I get a Pal that is rarer than both parents?
Sometimes. The child is the Pal closest to the parents' average, and that Pal can sit just past the rarer parent on the scale. That is also why breeding chains work: each generation can step a little rarer.
Does gender matter for breeding?
For the average rule, no — any male and female pair works. Only a couple of special recipes care which parent is male and which is female.
Why does this calculator not list every Pal?
It covers 178 standard Pals so the data stays reliable. Variant Pals and a few special cases only come from fixed recipes, and the 1.0 update added rare mutated eggs that can beat the normal result. If your pair's true child is a Pal that is not in this list, the tool shows the closest listed Pal and says so — it does not guess. If your Pal is not listed at all, choose “Add your own Pal…” and type its name and breeding power (CombiRank) — the rest of the maths still works.
