Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of Pals in Palworld is crucial for navigating challenging battles in Pocketpair’s captivating monster-catching game. Unlike Pokemon, Palworld lacks an official type chart within the game itself. However, recognizing the type advantages can significantly enhance your chances of success in battles, making it wise to choose the right type before engaging in combat.
Our comprehensive Palworld type chart and overview of Pal strengths and weaknesses provide valuable insights into how type advantages operate in this popular game.
Explaining Palworld Type Strengths and Weaknesses:
Players familiar with Pokemon will find the concept of Pal type strengths and weaknesses reminiscent, with one notable distinction. Unlike Pokemon types, where each type typically has at least two strengths and weaknesses, Pal types differ. Each Pal type exhibits strength against one specific type and weakness against another.
It’s essential to consider dual-type Pals, similar to Pokemon when strategizing for battles. The only exception to the one-strength and one-weakness rule is the Fire type, which is strong against Ice and Grass Pals but weak against only one type.
While specific damage numbers are not available, preliminary testing suggests that type advantages in Palworld function similarly to those in Pokemon. Pals deal double damage with a type advantage and half the damage with a disadvantage.
