Can any PAL get any passive?

[Wanderlust]

Is it possible for each and every PAL to get FEROCIOUS, or MUSCLEHEAD, for example? Or do PALs draw from a limited pool of passives? Do the passives improve with the level of the PAL? If possible cite your source or at least make a persuasive argument supporting your belief. Thanks!

pals have restricted pool to select from. unless it is a naturally spawned lucky, they cannot receive the lucky passive. there are also a limited number of pals that can have legend or a type of emperor passive. aside from those uniques, pretty much any pal can have any passive.

however, through breeding, any pal CAN have any passive and some that have guaranteed negative passives upon capture like glutton or coward can be lost, it's just an rng fest to get them as there is a chance for them to be inherited as well as random ones appearing by chance. just know that if you want a lucky pal with all those high end passives, it's impossible as you can only breed the passive down, not the trait.

The specific reason I asked is because I'm trying to breed an Anubis for combat and one of the combinations is Digitoise and Mammorest. I've got FEROCIOUS on the Mammorest but for the life of me can't find a Digitoise with anything but Hard Skin and some other random passives, none of which are particularly interesting.

Does it make a difference where I get the Digitoise? I've been getting them in the Twilight Dunes because they're plentiful and cheap to capture there, but I think those are only in their 20's. If level is a factor I can go find them in the Dessicated Desert instead. Do you know?

Thanks

any pal can have any passive however the passives legend, lucky and those with lord or emperor in the name need to be bred from others example lucky is only from shiny pals but you can use any shiny to move lucky to any pal, legend is only on the 4 legendary pals but again can be bred to any other pal then for the lords and emperor passives they are all element base there is only one of each and they only spawn on one pal for example the alpha anubis in the small desert will always have earth emperor (20% damage to all ground moves) while alpha necromus will always have lord of the underworld (20% damage to dark moves) (lord and emperor passives are the same thing just some are called lord and some are called emperor) and these can also be bred into other pals so besides that nothing else matters and even though a wild digtoise always has the hard skin passive you can use breeding to take it off its random

me who has 400 lucky anubises from breeding

Well now I don't know what to believe lol. Guess I'll just experiment as much as I can.

you can breed all passives, some wild pals have unique passives like lucky but you can breed those to its offspring too

But...but that part isn't true. It doesn't matter if you say the ACTUAL fact....

Just because your second paragraph contains the truth, doesn't make your poorly worded first paragraph contain a sentence that, as written, is wrong.

With breeding yes (unless its certain specific passives) you can make strong combat pals https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3226399229
Or effective workers

Only real issue was to really breed needed parrents with legend passive this site helped allot https://palworld.gg/breeding-calculator the rest are easy enough but every time its like 200+ eggs process unless your really lucky-

One thing that I don't see mentioned here is that for now you can't produce the legendary pals through breeding in any other way than with 2 of the same pals. So for example a new Jetragon can only be bred from 2 other Jetragons. That means those pals cannot have the "lucky" passive, since they don't appear as "lucky" in the wild and the passive cannot be bred up from a different pal. Same with any other exclusive passives, like the one from Bellanoir Libero, they cannot be bred onto (other) legendary pals.

Other than that through breeding you can basically make any combination of passives you want.

Ya know that never hit me till you mentioned it here but yea thats true xD

[zytimer]

You can breed most of the traits available to all pals

The remaining few from the list below

1.) Legend
2.) Lucky
3.) Any of the traits that gives 20% bonus to certain elemental attacks

Must be bred from one or both parents that has those traits in order to give a chance for the child to inherit the said traits

Just be aware that few of the current wild pals in game already come with a pre-determined bad or ok trait, the only way to get a similar pal without those said bad or ok traits is to breed it

To answer your question for your specific needs, the best way would be for you to breed a Digitoise. Check if for any of the required combinations a parent would have Musclehead or any other useful combat passive. This should be the quickest way to get a Digitoise with a useful passive. Also ensure that it's the only single passive he has, since for Anubis you want to use Mammorest and Digitoise parents with ONLY 1 passive each. This would create Anubis with 2 good passives. Then you create a second Anubis with 2 other good passives and breed those 2 Anubis into one that contains all 4 passives. This is the most efficient way.

Hard Skin is just a normal passive like almost any other, the reason that all Digitoise always has it is because a few wild pats always spawn with some predetermined passive. Another example is Cattiva, in wild you'll see they always have Corward.

You could also just use your Digitoise with Hardskin and hope for a bred Anubis to just randomly gain Musclehead + some other useful passive while also losing Hardskin, but I think that would take longer instead of just breeding your own Digitoise with a single useful passive and then using that one.

For most consistent breeding results, it's always best to use two parents with 1 passive only, or 2 parents with 2 passives each. Any other amounts of passive usually have less consistent results with more RNG involved.

Also as mentioned above, passives "Legend", "Lucky" and those that give "20% certain element damage" are unique in that you can only get them if one of the parents has them, they won't randomly appear on a bred Pal otherwise. All the other passives, ANY passive can appear on ANY Pal as a breeding result.

Hope that answers everything related to your needs.

you can get normal passive in any pals when breed together, only Legend, Lucky and Emperor/lord elements you can get from specific pal that have it. just remember pal with only 1 combo breeding (their own species ) cant get those specific passive unless they have them originally

You can get legend on a hybrid - I have several frostallion noct with legend on them and you can ONLY breed them through crossbreeding as they do not exist in the wild. I have ice emperor on one of them (from frostalion), flame emperor on another from a suzaku which ultimately came from the blazemut boss.

Not sure where you got this idea from unless this has changed in a recent patch which quite honestly would suck and remove a lot of the interest/point of breeding programs.
