Encountering a variety of creatures is an integral part of the Palworld experience, and amidst them, you may chance upon elusive Lucky Pals. Similar to the concept of Shiny Pokémon in the Pokémon franchise, Lucky Pals are rare versions of the game’s creatures that come with a slight buff. This guide will walk you through the process of obtaining these special companions in Palworld.
How to Acquire Lucky Pals in Palworld
Lucky Pals can be captured in the same manner as other animals in Palworld, but with a significant distinction—they are exceptionally rare. In many ways, they can be likened to the elusive Shiny Pokémon in the Pokémon universe.
Distinguishing Regular Pals from Lucky Pals
Identifying a Lucky Pal in your vicinity is marked by a distinctive sound effect reminiscent of wind chimes or the enchanting sound of magical stardust. Additionally, Lucky Pals stand out visually, exhibiting a sparkling and shining appearance that sets them apart from their regular counterparts.
Upon hearing this unique sound effect, carefully scan your surroundings to locate the presence of a Lucky Pal.
As an additional note, it has not been definitively confirmed whether Lucky Pals are more challenging to capture compared to their standard counterparts. Nevertheless, it is advisable to enhance your Pal Capture Rate to increase your chances. Additionally, the spawn rate of these creatures remains uncertain, leaving the decision to boost the “Pal Appearance Rate” setting in sandbox campaigns at your discretion.
Understanding the Lucky Perk/Passive
What sets Lucky Pals apart in Palworld is their possession of the “Lucky” passive or perk. This unique attribute automatically bestows a +15% boost to both work speed and attack, making them valuable companions for exploration and ideal defenders for your base.
The inherent passive provides a substantial enhancement for combat and tasks related to your base.
It’s important to note that despite having the “Lucky” perk, Lucky Pals can still exhibit negative traits. This means they may possess traits like “Coward” or “Pacifist,” which could negate the benefits of the innate buff.
In conclusion, this guide covers essential information about Shiny Pals, or Lucky Pals, in Palworld. Should you come across one, consider strengthening it by merging or infusing it with similar Pals. Additionally, experimenting with breeding Pals that possess beneficial traits can result in the creation of more powerful offspring.
