Palworld passive skills and how they pass down
All 115 standard passive skills in Palworld 1.0, plus the real inheritance odds from the game files.
How many passives a child inherits
When an egg is made, the game first rolls how many skills to copy from the parents' combined pool, then picks that many at random. It then may add random skills on top.
| Skills copied from parents | Chance |
|---|---|
| 1 | 40% |
| 2 | 30% |
| 3 | 20% |
| 4 | 10% |
| Random skills added | Chance |
|---|---|
| 0 | 40% |
| 1 | 30% |
| 2 | 20% |
| 3 | 10% |
A Pal can hold at most four passives. If the parents have fewer skills than the roll asks for, the child takes all of them. Use the passive odds calculator to see how many eggs a target set usually takes.
Passive skill list
Rank runs from +5 (best) to −3 (worst). "Random roll" means the skill can appear on a hatchling even if neither parent has it.
