How many Pals are in Palworld?

288, counted straight out of the game’s character table in the build we last extracted — not from a wiki that may be a patch behind.

Of those, 84 are elemental variants that carry a lettered Paldex number (Blazehowl Noct is #94B, not a separate number), which is why you will see both “288” and a lower figure quoted elsewhere — it depends whether variants are counted. The full list is on the Paldex, and it updates whenever the game does.
