2	Jetragon	Combat:	Mount:	Worker:
		Jetragon is the best all-rounder Pal! Its Dragon typing is great for end-game because of the abundance of Dark types. It learns Fire Ball and Beam Comet, two AoE skills with huge power. Jetragon is also currently the fastest Pal in the game!

		The more offensive counterpart to Paladius, Necromus ties with it with being one of the fastest Ground mounts in-game. Its learnset leans more on dealing a ton of damage with Fire and Dark coverage.
7	Bellanoir Libero	Combat:	Mount: -	Worker:
		Taking the spot from Astegon, Bellanoir Libero is a new premiere legendary Dark attacker thanks to its Siren of the Void Passive! This makes it a bit more reliable when it comes to dealing with Dragon-types by boosting damage by its Ice-Type attacks!

Best Pals for Farming

Farming is a unique Work Suitability since there's only Work Suitability Lv. 1, and that each Pal has a unique resource that they drop while working at a Ranch.

Best Pals For Farming
Wool Lamball	Egg Chikipi	Milk Mozzarina	Gold Mau
Cotton Candy Woolipop	Red Berries Caprity	Honey Beegarde	Flame Organ Flambelle
High Quality Cloth Sibelyx	Random Items Vixy

Farming is a unique Work Suitability in that there is no "best" Farming Pal. This is because each Pal drops specific resources, making the best Farming Pal whatever Pal that drops the resource you need.

Just make sure that you fix the Pal's assignment to the Ranch so that it doesn't go off doing other tasks.
