Palworld Breeding Calculator
Choose two parent Pals to see which Pal they breed, or choose a target Pal to list the parent pairs that produce it. The working shows each rank, the sum and the nearest match. This is an unofficial fan tool.

Cattiva + Foxparks = Rushoar
Rank sum + 1 = 5751, target rank 2875.

Formula: child rank target = floor((rank A + rank B + 1) / 2); the child is the Pal with the closest rank, unless the pair is a unique combination or the same species
- Breeding ranks: Cattiva = 2760, Foxparks = 2990.
- Add the ranks and 1: 2760 + 2990 + 1 = 5751.
- Halve and round down: floor(5751 / 2) = 2875.
- Pick the Pal whose rank is closest to 2875: Rushoar has rank 2880, 5 away. Rooby (2870) is equally close; the higher tie-break value wins, so Rushoar is chosen.
Result: Cattiva + Foxparks = Rushoar
How Palworld picks the child
target rank = floor((rank A + rank B + 1) / 2)
the child is the Pal whose breeding rank is closest to the target
Every Pal has a hidden breeding rank. Add the two parents ranks and 1, halve the total and round down. The child is the breedable Pal whose own rank is closest to that target.
Two exceptions come first. Two Pals of the same species always give that species. And a list of unique combinations gives a fixed child whatever the ranks say, in either parent order. A few of these depend on parent gender, so both outcomes are shown.
If two Pals are equally close, the one with the higher tie-break value wins, and a regional form loses to a standard Pal. Pals that come only from unique combinations, or only from two identical parents, are never picked by the nearest-rank rule.

Data source and game version
Ranks, tie-break values and unique combinations come from the open-source PalCalc datamine (database version v28, repository commit 08fe1eea, fetched 4 November 2026). It does not state a game build number, so a later game patch can change a rank or add a Pal before this page is updated.
The 11 Terraria crossover Pals are left out because their breeding rows follow special rules. Passive skills, stats and gender odds are not modelled.

How to use the Palworld Breeding Calculator
- Choose Find the child, then pick two parents.
- Read the child Pal, the rank sum and the target rank.
- To work backwards, choose Find parents of a Pal and pick the Pal you want.

Worked example
Cattiva has rank 2760 and Foxparks 2990. Their sum plus 1 is 5751 and half rounded down is 2875. Rushoar (2880) and Rooby (2870) are both 5 away, so the higher tie-break value gives Rushoar.
| Parents | Target rank | Child | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cattiva + Foxparks | 2875 | Rushoar | Nearest rank, tie-break |
| Lifmunk + Rushoar | 2950 | Gumoss | Exact rank match |
| Anubis + Penking | 1275 | Warsect | Nearest rank, tie-break |
| Pengullet + Sparkit | 2985 | Pengullet Lux | Unique combination |
| Anubis + Anubis | 480 | Anubis | Same species |
Frequently asked questions
Does the order of the two parents matter?
No. Parent A with Parent B gives the same child as Parent B with Parent A. Only a few gender-specific unique pairs change the child, and those show both outcomes.
Why did I not get the Pal the maths predicts?
A unique combination or the same-species rule may apply first. The game can also differ if a patch changed a rank after the data date shown on this page.
Does this predict passive skills or stats?
No. It only gives the child species. Passive skills, individual stats and gender are not modelled here.
Why is a Pal missing from the list?
The Terraria crossover Pals are excluded because their breeding follows special rules. Pals added by a newer game update may also be missing until the data is refreshed.
