Palworld Team Builder: plan your best team and base

For your combat team: the elements your team hits effectively, a weakness matrix for each Pal, and suggestions for the biggest gap. Example: Anubis, Jormuntide, Grizzbolt, Lyleen don't hit Neutral, Grass, Ice, Dragon effectively, and the biggest threat is Ice. A Pal with Fire, Ice helps close that gap. For your base, see the highest level for each Work Suitability, missing tasks, the night shift, and which Pals fill the gaps. Use “Copy link” to share the results, no account needed.

There is no single best team: it depends on your opponents and what you want to do. A strong team hits as many elements effectively as possible and avoids weaknesses shared by multiple Pals. That's exactly what the Combat tab checks: it shows gaps and suggests up to 3 element combinations with example Pals. The tool uses your Pals' elements and intentionally excludes stats, Passive Skills, and Partner Skills.

Your combat team can have up to 5 Pals, matching the number of slots in the Combat tab. Your base has a separate limit: On servers, BaseCampWorkerMaxNum in PalWorldSettings.ini sets how many Pals can work at a base; the default is 15. In the Base tab, you can set your base size between 1 and 50 Pals.

Each element takes 1.5× damage from exactly one element: Neutral from Dark, Fire from Water, Water from Electric, Grass from Fire, Electric from Ground, Ice from Fire, Ground from Grass, Dark from Dragon, Dragon from Ice. The complete Palworld Type Chart with all strengths is above.

According to the game files, a strong attack deals 1.5× damage, while a weak one deals only 0.66×. Every element except Neutral also resists attacks of its own element. When a Pal uses a skill of its own element, the 1.2 multiplier applies too. Many older sites still claim double and half damage.

For dual-element Pals, both elements count. The game combines advantages and disadvantages: if a weakness and a strength coincide, damage stays normal. For example, Grass deals normal damage to Reptyro (Fire, Ground). Orserk (Dragon, Electric), however, takes 1.5× damage from both Ice and Ground. Two weaknesses result in 2.25× damage; two resistances in 0.43× damage. The weakness matrix calculates this for every Pal on your team.

Work Suitability determines which tasks a Pal performs at your base. There are 12 types of work; natural levels range from 1 to 8, and books can raise them to level 10. The best Pals depend on which tasks your base is missing. For example, Mining: Aegidron (level 8), Handiwork: Solenne (level 8), Kindling: Renjishi (level 8), and Watering: Shaolong (level 8) have the highest natural levels. The “Best Base Pals for Each Work Suitability” list above shows all 12 tasks; the Base tab checks your own base.

Pals marked as nocturnal in the game data keep your base running at night. The Base tab counts them, shows which tasks they cover overnight, and suggests a suitable nocturnal Pal if one is available. In the Base tab's example team, 2 of 15 Pals are nocturnal. When adding Pals, use the “Nocturnal” filter to find them.
