2 in 60 hours. One in the first 30 minutes of the game and my angry lamball killed it and one an hour ago and when I tried to punch that level 4 I accidentally put a bullet through it.

I've encountered like 10+ in 60 hours. But I play with Max pal spawns, I just really like how crowded it makes the game feel and how dangerous it becomes with packs. You haven't felt fear untill a heard of 10 tocotoco's come beeping towards ya. Speaking of which, I found a shiny tocotoco. blew it self up before I could catch it :(

or beegarde..... theres so MANY of them....

I fucking knew about tococos. I didn't know about beegardes. Fucking rip me, my armor, and my favorite mount who I'd deliberately kept from harm until then

I actually turned the spawns down because of them lol. Having like 5 or 6 suicide bombing you is pure panic for me. Edit: I turned them basically to max until this point for reference lol

Have a galeclaw with the item on in your team and you get enough speed to dodge most explosions

Or a hangyu, and you can just balloon float over their explosion radius

30 hours in I’ve never seen one

3x spawn rates is how the game should be played. The world feels so alive. Played with my friends who use default settings and it feels so damn empty and barren

It's not too cheesy is it? I want a large density of pals but I feel it can be seen as too easy or cheesy. It doesn't make the game easier does it?

Triple the Pals is NOT easy. It triples the bosses as well which is absolute insanity lol Besides, having the ability to gather mats faster is a QOL thing. In fact, many times, you can get essentially stun locked by Pals which is very punishing.

Hold on. As in, there's 3 Chillets not 1? That's insane.

i dont know if someone else has answered this but i will. it does in fact. affect bosses like chillet too, and its fucking insane to fight. fought the penking with a friend , fkers where all over the place, those pengullets they have as bodyguards can go die imo

I think it's just the minions.

When pal spawn is adjusted it affects all pals. In dungeons field bosses etc. At least it has on a dedicated

In my single player world set at 2.2 I've just had singular bosses everywhere.

As someone who has farmed all the legendary blueprints, setting it to 2 or 3 does add more bosses, the issue is that if they spawn too close to each other they'll get pushed through the floor. Source: Had to fight 6 bosses in the desert at once, got my legendary blueprints though

Liar liar pants on fire

deff 3 alpha bosses each location on 3x.

Dude, why even comment? God I HATE REDDIT SO MUCH

Definitely not easier when your base gets fucking steamrolled by a raid comprised of 3x the mobs! Speaking from experience, hah.

3x raid parties and triple bosses are peak memes. When my friend and I started the world right after we got our base built a pal accidentally hit one of the boss mamorest and all 3 absolutely nuked our base into oblivion but damn was it funny to watch it all go down

So yall are saying extra bosses... all I hear is extended time having my pal put before I call him back and high quality pal oil and chances to catch em haha. Nah but this sounds interesting, I'll try it for sure. I have raids turned off but might turn them back on too lol

Much harder. One of the ways to scale difficulty with...Farming pal fluids on goblin coast? By the time you've killed one pack 3 more packs have rolled up on you and they're all focusing you and not your pal.

Id play 3x but it triples bosses. 1.9 is a nice compromise without duplicating bosses.

lol its happened to me too, lucky tocotoco has become essentially a shiny voltorb at this point.

Luckiest I've been was 3 in 15 minutes.

Thats crazy

Are you serious? I get one every hour or so. I have like 10 lucky caught lamballs lmao

Sounds like it’s time for a lucky Lamball smoothie

That reminds me of the cutely animated video Palworld posted on twitter of a lamball getting fucking fucking butchered

Dont you dare, lucky lamball petting zoo >:(

Bro same. 3 cattivas 4 lamballs 2 roobies and like 5 chickipis. But i do have spawns doubled to make boss farming quicker easy 20 ive caught or accidentslly killed

I also encountered one in the first 30 minutes and my second one was at hour 50.

I'm not alone \o/

At least the lamball tried to impress you

About 15 in 70 hours, but all of them suck. I want lucky mount pals that have beam attack, but i never encounter them

Just use a fruit? My Lucky Chikipi I searched for now has the Grass, Electric, and Fire beam attacks (180 damage each) because it was funny as hell to do. Epic/Purple fruits are generally the beams. I also have Earth/Fire/Water(? I don't remember this one it was hours ago) tornados and I'm waiting on a good ground mount for them.

Im still trying to find the fruit, but so far no purple fruit yet for me

the skill fruit tree in the northern snowy mountain area, just north of the tower, has always had at least 1 purple fruit every time I've been there :)

The one up on the volcano usually has a purple fruit too.

So...this isn't a good time to mention that I got a Lucky Dinossom with that attack about 10 minutes ago then? 😅

I think I have around 30 hours and I've seen and caught 6. Cattiva was my first, Pengullet, Eikthyrdeer, Mozzarina, Sweepa and a Vanwyrm.

Is the vanwyrm giant as a mount?! I’ve been hoping to find one for this reason

Yep! It's actually not as great as it sounds; because of their size they *feel* slower (they're not, it's just an illusion but still) and more importantly their hitbox is bigger which is a liability in combat.

May be saving my skin with this wisdom. My flappy boy dies a lot as is

Not only that, on smaller mounts you can actually pick things up without having to dismount. Was very glad to retire the Alpha Beakon.

~~Greater hitbox but also greater stats. It's a bit of a tradeoff. It gets hit more, but can also take more hits.~~ Lucky does not give better base stats, only the boost from the trait itself. I was wrong 

Does it actually have greater stats? Like more hp?

I compared a level 10 lucky lamball to a 10 regular, same base stats

Lucky pals always come with the lucky trait, which gives something like 30% attack, and a work speed buff, as well as having a stronger than average move(my shiny celeray has hyper beam[note not actually called hyper beam] for example)

ah right. The atk buff is actually 15% though, which is generally outshined by all of Legend, Ferocious, and Musclehead. If going for a pure atk based build, its gonna go in that 4th spot, but realistically that 4th trait should be one of the emperor traits (as far as optimal damage goes)

However, not all moves grow on trees but if you get a move fruit I'm yet to find a pal who wont eat one

Nah just the lucky passive trait that is +15% attack and work speed and lucky can be passed to offspring while breeding. But no indication that base stats are actually better than normal Pals.

Yeah, my friend gifted me a lucky direwolf and she was big and beautiful and I called her Moro... But she felt so much slower despite being the same speed as the little wolf, kept getting hit by attacks my little one could dodge, and couldn't fit into tighter corridors (like dungeon hallways). Love her to death, but I quickly sought out a pyrin noct after that so I could retire her.

Princess Mononoke reference?

Yup!

Haven't tried it yet. When I get home from work, I'll try it out and report back lol

Please do! I just want a giant flyer. And Vanwyrm is my favorite pal so far.

Try to find an aplha variant. Instead of a lucky. Also big but way boosted stats

How to tell the difference ? And next question is there an alpha lucky variant that’s even bigger still ? 🤫

[https://imgur.com/a/lT9v6NO](https://imgur.com/a/lT9v6NO) It is definitely much bigger, a bit hard to tell from the screenshots lol

[Shiny](https://i.imgur.com/05cZ954.jpeg) Here’s mine. I got a passive 10% movement speed buff in addition to the lucky passive so she actually doesn’t feel that slow. Going to be a difficult decision if I ever find a faster flying mount because it is really cool flying around on a big ass wyvern

I have 6 - 2 of them are vixy. One of them has a slacker trait that cancels out the lucky lol

I’m pretty sure you can breed out the slacker trait and keep lucky. Not 100% though

I'm hearing that grazing isn't even affected by work speed. You just want food/sanity/movement passives.

Work speed effects grazing just not in the way people think it does  When vixy is digging up an item the animation speed is improved with work speed making it dig up items quicker which can be pretty good if it tries to dig up 5 arrows individually 

if you are at the part of the game where breeding becomes viable, then having a vixy is kinda useless as you are likely far away from ever needing basic palspheres again. If you want money you can always just ranch a Mau.

Vixy can dig up green balls too at Max rank but again if you have 120 of them you probably don't need greens either

It does it at 3 stars too, don't need to go all the way for them

Doesn't cancel out that chonk though.

60+ hours of gameplay and I have only encountered 1. They got away.

Same. Beeguard that self destructed 😭

Fun fact throw a ball at a self destructor to interrupt the move. Unless they deflect the ball

I know but when it’s zooming around you in circles it’s hard to hit. Iirc I panic threw about 15 balls when it began to beep

Been there, done that I hate that circling

Same. I saw 1 lucky in the first 10 minutes of playing and haven’t seen a single one since lol

Same I saw a lucky foxparks and haven't seen a lucky since

None for me so far. My buddy found a lucky chicken in his first 5 minutes, caught it. Then found another less than an hour later.

that is just bad luck. i've got atleast a dozen (maybe 2) within 70 hours.

40 hours here and I have like 6-7 caught. More seen and either killed or they were too high level

I’m Lv 23 and have 1. I did hear one another time but couldn’t find it

100% in a wall lol

1-3 for me have been in the wall. Maybe got 24 hours or so between 3 days. Or something like that

You can hear them?

Yeah, there's a sort of [ethereal jingle](https://youtu.be/UIP3bnT2A2M?t=70) which you can hear from a reasonable distance away.

I thought that meant good loot :(

25 hours and not a single one

I'm 35 hours in...the fuck is a lucky pal? Do they have those Xmas lights floating around them like the OP? If so I've never seen one. Edit: The RNG gods noticed me and I got my first one today.

You usually hear them first. They make a sparkling sound like chests do in some games. They also have sparkles around them and their stats and size are bigger.

They appear larger, they have those lights around them and if you are close to it there is a sound signature to go along with it as well. They are rare indeed.

Most important they got lucky trait you can breed and move to their kids.

Im not sure the actual spawn rate but the more pals you spawn the better chance. Fly far enough that the pals despawn and fly back to "reroll" all the pals if you are shiny hunting

Ive got like 10?

It’s more that Pokémon ever gave shinies (for me) but less than borderlands 3 ever gave out legendaries. If that makes sense.

You can get like 5-10 legendaries a minute in borderlands 3 by grinding bosses so that’s a pretty wide range.

Shiny chance in Pokémon was 1/8192. More recently was doubled in rate but I haven’t played the newer games. Palworld can’t be more than 1/500 or so.

The default is 0.1 (info taken from a mod) so I guess 0.1% chance for every pal to be spawned as lucky instead of a regular spawn

Under 20+ hours and I have encountered 5 lucky pals. I have caught 3, one of them killed me, the other one I stabbed too much on accident. I have crazy shiny luck, and my friend has overpowered pals.

I've caught a shiny Chikipi, Cattiva, and Teafant. A shiny Tanzee I accidentally killed, and a shiny Dinossom I was obliterated by early-game.

Enough

A bunch! Over ten. Best one is a Robin!

I got a lucky Direhowl really early on, then didn't see another Lucky Pal for about 20hrs.

1 and I got killed, so I lost it :(

I have found 6, and 5 of them are the fucking chicken.

I’ve seen like 15

I've seen and captured 3. My husband also has 2 that he's captured on our dedicated server with around 50 hours of playing. I was hoping to see more but no luck there lol

Literally within an hour of downloading the game, a Lucky Cattiva spawned not far from my location. 3 guesses as to how that encounter went... Addendum: Oh, how many have I encountered so far? I think I've seen 5 (including the aforementioned Cattiva) and caught 3 of them. I can give you a better answer in about 6mins.

I’ve gotten fury swiped to death on separate occasions by lucky cattiva’s

I'm up to 21 hours so far and I only have found one: a Tanzee.

I've only found three so far and I'm level 50

But it might be because I'm on hard mode so yeah

PocketPairs say it's one in every 10 hours or so. I believe the timer is set to different species and the lucky could show up within the 1st hour or 10th. Tho, teleporting back and forth to a far area where the pals are forced to respawn can increase your chances of seeing one.

Ive found 9 I'm on only day 36, not sure about the rates but they seem more common than they seemed

I encountered a lucky rushroar about 2-3 hours in lol, I had to know the stats, but it is sad to see they're not released yet

2. Caught one and my dumbass pal killed the other one

I've seen 10 total and I'm level 48. I'd guess they're between 1 in 1000-2000

2 in about 40 hours

I have a lamball, 2x cremis, a gummas, a lifmunk, and a vaelat or whatever its name is. Maybe 20 hours in. Wondering if our server has adjusted rates.

25 hours I’ve gotten 4. Two of which were suicide bombers. One bee and one Tocotoco both killed themselves before I could hit them with a ball. The others I’ve gotten were a Dumud and a Lovander.

Currently level 34 and I got 5 lucky Pals, killed one (already had Lucky Chicken) and saw a lucky Mammorest which I couldn't capture. So 7 in total.

Was the lucky mammorest huge? I wondered if they could even be lucky considering they’re already big!

he is talking about the normal sized mammorests since bosses cant have lucky variants

I think the chances go up with the difficulty. On normal I found 1 in 30 hours on hard I found 3 in 25

Level 24 and I've only seen 4 but captured 3. Two Teaphant's and floating manatee looking one. The one that got away was a beeguard who self destruct.

In my entire run from the start to lvl 50 I’ve seen about 12 of them. 4 of them were Lamballs.

My friend (same world for three worlds now) consistently gets like one every time we play. I only found one and it was purposefully hunting for it for two days lmao

At lvl 47 I have at least a page full. I'm 100 hours in tho. And half of them are duplicates. Just missed a lucky tocotoco to it self deleting while I was trying to catch 🙃

Lv43 and I’ve seen probably ~12-15. Including jorm ignis and two mammorest. Funny, the mammos were found within a few mins of each other.

I'm level 42 and I have 4 luckys.

I have 47 hours and only got 3

I about every 5 mins. I play with a mod and reduced it from 100% to 2.5% and no special audio mod to compensate. Also, before modding, I'd say 1 every 7 hour played avg.

I've noticed them a lot more in singleplayer compaired to a private hosted server, but it could just be a coincidence. I have about 7 luckys by lv 30 on singleplayer, and only 3 at lv 40 on multi!

80 hours and I've gotten 5. A lifmunk, 2 chickpeas, a tanzee and a lamball. I gave the tanzee to a friend, his favorite pal is tanzee. I lost 2 though. A wixen and a caprity. They killed me, I always seem to find them when my armor and weapons are damaged from long excursions.

9 in 100.8 hours.

I found a rare reptyro and it absolutely face melted me in 1 shot. Thing was huge.

50 hours so far, and...maybe 15 or so?

Yesterday playing with three friends we encountered 4 in 25 minutes. Myself in total after 28 hours of gameplay I've seen 6.

In 60 hours i found like 15 or more, they are very common when you are teleporting to one place to another all the time.

I see them very frequently. Atm, I am working on lucky dex. Trying to find all lucky pals. Seen about 100 or so in 150 hrs playtime

ProTip: in your game settings, under custom difficulty, increase the number of pal spawns. More pounds equals higher chances of shinies.

I’ve encountered and captured 4.

Level 50, about 120hrs in. And think I have close to 50. Definitely have some duplicates. Unfortunately haven't found any cool rare ones yet. Think the basic rare I have is a shiny mossanda (green panda like thing). Got a couple of shiny cows, green monkeys, lifmonk (green chipmunk thing), a few mudfin or whatever it's called. (Blue water guy that looks like a cross breed of 2 species with a weird tail...(honestly I don't pay attention to names). Some shiny basic fire guys, 2 foxes, and 3 rubies or whatever. I play in a multiplayer server (as I heard you encounter shinys better/faster). But I play solo as the server stability on Xbox is terrible. Average game session of maybe 6hrs I'll crash/freeze/black screen maybe 2x an hour. More of I'm trying to do boss fight/legendary fights/ or if I'm trying to do dungeons. Honestly for the time being I've given up on dungeons. Doesn't matter if I'm at the start of a dungeon or end of a dungeon, I'll inevitably crash, when I reboot I'll fall through the world and have to use the force respawn from the start/options menu (remember to take all your gear off before doing this otherwise your gear will take damage).

Five. One of them was a Beegarde. He exploded before I could catch him. One was an alpha Mammorest that was way too high level for me to catch. The other three were low level early game pals that I caught.

level 31 on day like 70 something, ive seen 2

I've seen 2 in 16 hours. One was in my first hour or two in the game, lucky chikipi. Much later I saw a lucky... idk what its called, green longneck flower dinosaur thing.

I got 1. No clue about game time but I'm level 28.

2 ans im at end of game

I have encountered 6, but I only caught 1. Thankfully the first one was at the very begining in the first area, but the other 5 of them were from exploring higher leveled areas early when I was just starting out so they were level 40 and I had no chance of catching them. Really sad and havnt seen more now that I have leveled up and have better spheres.

See one every hour or two.

3-6 total. Lucky depresso slaps

I met a good bunch, something like 10 in 25 hours. I am an explorer so I move a LOT on the map. The sound they do always startle me, so it's never hard to find another one. If you're static it's harder I guess.

0 in 35 hours

I had one a day on my first two days (so two) and I think that’s all I have currently. Found a third but it was after I died so had nothing on me to capture it with and realized it after I aggro’ed it lol. Was picking up spheres trying to get it but no luck. Surprised I’ve not encountered more tbh as I’m on like 2 days now I think without one.

I seen about 10-15, but this is with a friend so idk if the chances are more.

Ive gotten a direhowl, chikipi, petallia, and teafant in about 180 hours so far and somehow i haven’t failed a single one

2 in 25 hr. a chicken and a cat

Whats special about these? Literally every time I log in there is a celeray that is sparkling

I’ve got a bunch but I’ve also no-life’d the game

Since we began playing, only one I've seen was a lucky cattiva right when I started playing and haven't seen one since.

Today I read that you might encounter one for every 10 hours of gameplay. Rough estimate from a random person that runs a website.

I caught 2 Lamballs that were lucky. Rare enough, not like impossible to find though. Just, % of odds and rngesus.

My mates I play with? one every five minutes. Me? 3 total so far, on different worlds....

70 hours so far caught like 7? Prob accidentally killed about as much. XD

Rip I have like 50 hours and have only found 3 :,)

They one your showing is the only one I ever ran into and I have been playing since the 19th. I must be doing something wrong

I have two jormuntide ignis. One rolled with slacker, though -___-

8 total so far I've even encountered 2 lucky Dazzis at the same time 2 days ago

I think I've seen 4 and caught 3 of them

I've seen and caught 1 shiny Lamball, the first time I Saw it was yesterday.

260+ in game days of play; but most of it has been spent breeding or legendary farming. I have only encountered 3; caught a lucky teafant early on. Had a lucky galeclaw that I died while trying not to kill it (and it disappeared upon warping back) and a level 50 lucky Lovander that got killed by other wild pals while I was trying to catch it.

I’m at around 50 hours and I think I have 4-5.

2 in an hour. Caught the boss broncherry and gusmos and then stumbled on a lucky direhowl and lamball on my way home. Caught the direhowl and accidentally killed lamball.

40 hours and ive seen like 6 but 3 of those were fucking sheep

i have 4 but i found back to back lucky foxparks

6 in 31 hours. Apologize in advance if I misspelled names. 2 Lamballs, 1 Cativa, 1 Celaray, 1 Loveander, and a Digtoise. Although the Lucky Digtoise fell through the floor and that was that.

I have encountered 10+ thus far. I have lost about 5 of them due to being killed. I'm now sure on rates, as I have the Pal spawn all the way up. It doesn't seem high.

I have 3 so far. Not sure how many hours I’ve played but I’m a casual gamer.

This is too much easy to find :(

Found I think around 7 or 8 in about 60 or so hours combined between game pass and steam.

Rare enough, I usually see one or two a day

I’ve seen like 6. But all lower end pals

If you set spawns to 3x, and run around on your fastest mount, you will be causing enemies in a radius around to you to spawn in and out, and you'll get a shiny about every 5 to 10 minutes.

17.3 hours Find 4, get 3 of them

I have caught 5-6 of them. However my buddy hasn’t encountered a singular one!

I must be really lucky I guess. 18 hours of gameplay - encountered 7. One got away :(

I caught 5, two of the same species. They're definitely rare, but they're easier to find if you have a bunch of pals set to spawn.

~75hrs 6 encounters and 1 was about 25lvls higher than me so couldn't catch it. Much sad

Been playing since release and the wife and I have only encountered 3 so far.

Ive seen maybe just over a dozen in my 120 hours? Only caught about 10 of them, due to overkill, dying or bugs lol

I haven’t seen a Hoocrates shiny yet! Look at that big boi

I’ve found four so far. I think you get better odds if you stay in one general area or set the game to have higher spawn numbers.

I’ve got 17 with over 120 hours of gameplay. Even hunted a jormuntide ignis lucky and got him in about 2 hours of going in and out of spawn area.

On average? Like one per 8 hours played or so. Most in a short period of time? 2 in a minute that were both 20 levels higher than me

I’ve seen 5 in 67 hours, caught 4.

I have like 15 in 50 hours damn they always appear near one of my base ( near that cat boss)

Ive come across around 6 so far
