Jump to:Type chartWeaknesses and resistances
Understanding the Palworld type chart will help a lot when you battle other Pals and far deadlier Alpha Pals and bosses. Like Pokemon, each Pal has its own type which grants it particular resistances and vulnerabilities to some of the other types. Most types have only one weakness and one strength, which means they’re quite simple to learn and will help you create a well roundedPalworldsquad for any fight. Here’s everything you need to know about all the Pal types, including a handy type chart and a list of the strengths and weaknesses of each one.Full Palworld type chart(Image credit: Pocketpair, Inc.)Palworld cold and hot weatherPalworld wool and clothPalworld gunsPalworld dedicated serversPalworld character creationThe full type chart for Palworld is shown above, as it appears in the tutorial (assuming you go looking for it).The arrows represent advantages and disadvantages- for example, Ground attacks do increased damage against Electric, but electric does less damage against Ground.What should be immediately clear is thatnot all types are equal- Fire has two different advantages, and Neutral has no advantages whatsoever, which should already inform a few choices about the general kind of Pal party that you want to bring with you as a default. Of course, if you plan to take down any of thePalworld bosses, you can build your party accordingly to exploit their weaknesses - if you have a Dragon Pal to beat, bring a lot of Ice-types, or at least some Pals with Ice attacks!All weaknesses and resistances in Palworld(Image credit: PocketPair, Inc.)Below we’ve listed all the different Palworld weaknesses and resistances based on elements, to help players who need a quick reference.DarkGood against: NeutralWeak to: DragonDragonGood against: DarkWeak to: IceElectricGood against: WaterWeak to: GroundFireGood against: Grass, IceWeak to: WaterGrassGood against: GroundWeak to: FireGroundGood against: ElectricWeak to: GrassIceGood against: DragonWeak to: FireNeutralGood against: NothingWeak to: DarkWaterGood against: FireWeak to: ElectricIt’s also worth being clear that dual-type Pals have any contrary weaknesses and resistances cancel each other out.

Below we’ve listed all the different Palworld weaknesses and resistances based on elements, to help players who need a quick reference.
It’s also worth being clear that dual-type Pals have any contrary weaknesses and resistances cancel each other out. For example, a Water/Grass Element Pal won’t take either extra or less damage from Fire - just a regular amount.
