Palworld: What are Lucky Pals?

In Palworld, there are special Pals with better attributes called Lucky Pals, and encountering them can be a little tricky.

These elusive variants are quite rare but finding them is worth your time due to the stat boosts they possess.

Lucky Pals explained

Every Pal has a chance to spawn as a Lucky Pal, which is a version of a regular Pal that is stronger, bigger, and has better Passive Skills.

Every species, except legendaries, has a chance to appear as Lucky in Palworld.

While the Pokemon franchise has shiny variants, there aren’t shiny versions in Palworld. Instead, players can keep an eye out for rare Lucky Pals.

How to get them

To find Lucky Pals, you need to travel across the Palpagos Islands and scout every zone because their spawn rate is really low and they don’t appear in set locations. Make sure to pay attention to the sound cue which indicates a Lucky Pal is nearby.

These Pals will appear as regular Pals covered in a multi-colored sparkly aura that can be easily spotted from long distances. They will also emit a characteristic humming noise that can be heard from afar.

Legendary and Boss Pals cannot be Lucky.

Make sure you’re always prepared to capture one by carrying Pal Spheres so you can grab these elusive Pals when you spot them.

Keep in mind that Legendary and Special Pals cannot appear as Lucky and that every Lucky Pal will have randomized stats, so it’s always good to have several of the same Pal species.

The Lucky Passive Skill can also be inherited by other Pals through breeding. So keep an eye out for these creatures, and stay up to date with all that’s happening in Palworld with the Sakurajima update.
