Do Pals evolve in Palworld? (1)

Do Pals evolve in Palworld? Pokemon's inspiration looms large over the game, but not everything is the same, and those playing for the first time might reasonably be thinking if there is a way to evolve Pals, it's not clear how. Fortunately, we'll explain evolution in Palworld below, how you can improve your Pals, and why certain Pals look suspiciously similar.

Can Pals evolve in Palworld into more powerful forms?

Do Pals evolve in Palworld? (2)

No, there is no evolution mechanic in Palworld - your Pals don't evolve and as far as we know, there's no plan to add that feature in the future, even though the game is in early access. There are Pals that look similar (like Penking and Pengullet), and may, in the context of the game's lore, be divergent or related species - which suggests a more accurate understanding of what evolution actually is - but there's no way to make a Pal in your party evolve into a different creature altogether.

If you want to change your Pals in meaningful ways, the closest approximation (beyond simply levelling them up) is Breeding Pals. At level 19 players can use the technology tree to unlock the Breeding Farm, where you can breed various Pals together. Depending on the combinations, different Pals might create entirely new species - which, when you think about it, is actually a slightly more accurate understanding of what evolution is than Pokemon ever achieved.

But for now, this is the closest you can get to seeing Pals evolve. Of course, if building the best team possible is your priority, here's the Palworld type chart, or check out how to get all manner of Palworld guns here!

Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and raconteur with a Masters from Sussex University, none of which has actually equipped him for anything in real life. As a result he chooses to spend most of his time playing video games, reading old books and ingesting chemically-risky levels of caffeine. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at USgamer, Gfinity, Eurogamer and more besides.
