Stats and IVs Explained

A Pal's hidden IV bonus, Passive Skills, and Statue and Condenser upgrades can determine the stats of your Pals as it levels up in Palworld. Read on to learn more about Pal IVs, stat bonuses, and each of your Pal stats!

Pal IVs Explained

Hidden Stat Bonuses for Pals

IVs, or Individual Values, are hidden stats that all Pals have in the game which grant HP, Attack, and Defense stat bonuses when leveling up.

IVs can range from 0 IVs , where the Pal does not have any bonus stats, or up to a maximum of 100 IVs, where the Pal can get a 30% stat bonus.

IVs are determined randomly for Pals and are generally uncontrollable by players, but it can be used when breeding to influence an offspring's IVs.

All Pal Stats

IV Application Example

Lamball Lv 50 Stats
Lamball
Stat	0 IV Lamball	Max IV Lamball
HP	2500	3025
Atk	362	441
Def	312	391
0 IV: No IVs and no Passives Max IV: Max IVs with no Passives

The table above compares two Level 50 Lamballs which have 0 IVs in HP, Attack, and Defense and one with 100 IV in all of its stats. A Lamball with higher IVs will have higher stats compared to a Lamball with low to zero IVs due to the stat bonuses it has gained upon leveling up.

Stat Bonuses and Pal Upgrades

Stats and Pal Upgrades

A Pal's stat is not only affected by its IVs, but also by any Passive Skill it has that affects its Attack or Defense stats.

Pal stats are also affected by Statue or Condenser upgrades, with the former granting up to 30% bonus and the latter giving up to 20% bonus after max upgrades.

Stats and Passive Skills

Some Passive Skills, like Lucky and Legend, also affect a Pal's stats, either positively or negatively. If you want to make the most effective use of your Pals, you should use those that have Passive Skills with stat bonuses instead of those that hinder the Pal.

Best Passive Skills and How to Get

Stat Upgrades Example

Lamball Lv 50 Stats
Lamball
Stat							0 IV							Max IV							Max IV+A							Max IV+D							Full Atk							Full Def
HP							2500							3025																					4719
Atk							362							441							815							463							1272							722
Def							312							391							469							645							731							1006
0 IV: No IVs and no Passives Max IV: Max IVs with no Passives Max IV+A: Max IVs with Musclehead, Ferocious, Lucky, and Legend Passives Max IV+D: Max IVs with Burly Body, Masochist, Hard Skin, and Legend Passives Full Atk: Max IVs with Musclehead, Ferocious, Lucky, and Legend Passives and Full Soul and Condenser Bonus Full Def: Max IVs with Burly Body, Masochist, Hard Skin, and Legend Passives and Full Soul and Condenser Bonus

The table above lists Lamball's possible HP, Attack, and Defense stats at Level 50 with IVs, select Passive Skills, and upgrade bonuses.

Like mentioned before, a Pal with higher IVs will have naturally high stat growth, but this can be further improved if the Pal has Attack or Defense boosting Passive Skills or if it is upgraded via the Statue of Power or with the Pal Essence Condenser.

Pal Stats Explained

Pal HP

A Pal's HP, or Vitality as it's called in the game, determines its health pool and how much damage it can take during combat before it is knocked out and is incapacitated.

If a Pal is knocked out, you need to store it back in your Pal Box and wait for them to be revived. You cannot revive Pals with any food or craftable medicine.

List of Pals by HP Stat

Pal Hunger

Pals in your party will slowly deplete their Hunger meter if they are out in the overworld. If they haven't eaten for a while, they will get the Hungry status and their Attack, Defense, and Work Speed stats will decrease by 20%.

Meanwhile, Pals in your base will feel exhausted and stressed if their Hunger gauge gets depleted, so make sure to keep yourself and your Pals well fed!

How to Eat Food and Feed Pals

Starving Status

If you neglect your Pals long enough and their Hunger meter is depleted, they will get the Starving status, which will lower their Attack, Defense, and Work Speed stats by 50% while taking damage until they only have 1 HP left.

Pal Sanity

Your Pal's Sanity (SAN), or their Mental Stability as labeled in the game, is tied to how your Pals will function if you leave then inside your base. Pals with low Sanity will get sick or even refuse to work inside your base.

Building Hot Springs in your base and keeping your Pals well fed can help maintain high Sanity for your base Pals.

How to Keep Pals Happy and Sane

Attack Stat

A Pal's Attack stat determines how much damage it can deal with its attacks. This can be improved by upgrading the Pal via Statue and Condenser upgrades or with certain Partner Skills.

List of Pals by Attack Stat

Defense Stat

A Pal's Defense stat decreases the amount of damage it takes when attacked. This can also be improved by upgrading the Pal via Statue and Condenser upgrades or with certain Partner Skills.

List of Pals by Defense Stat

Pal Work Speed

Your Pal's Work Speed affects the efficiency of your Pal on their tasks inside your base. Pals with higher Work Speed are better base Pals than those with low stats.
