Palworld Guides
Everything Palworld Companion covers, organized by what you're trying to do. Tier lists come from real data. Build guides don't fabricate mechanics. Hosting comparisons are ranked by fit, not affiliate payout. If you're new to the site, the Getting Started page is a better on-ramp than jumping straight in.
Tier Lists & Best-For Rankings
Data-derived rankings pulled straight from in-game stats — nothing subjective, everything traceable to the paldex dataset.
Top pals for bases, combat, and travel — S/A/B/C tiers computed from real work suitability and stats.
12 pages, one per work suitability. Tier-ranked best pals for kindling, mining, handiwork, transporting, and more.
