Best Planting Pals in Palworld

The earliest you can get each level

For each Planting level, the Pal that appears in the wild at the lowest level — the one you can catch first rather than the one that is best on paper. Wild spawn levels are the game's spawner data; Pals that only come from breeding, eggs or alphas are not counted here.

Planting level	Earliest wild Pal	Wild from	Work speed	Food	Where
Lv 8	No Pal at this level spawns in the wild
Lv 7	Lyleen	Lv 58	100	8	Sakurajima, World Tree
Lv 6	Carnibora	Lv 45	100	7	Wildlife Sanctuary
Lv 5	Broncherry	Lv 23	100	6	Grasslands, World Tree
Lv 4	Mammorest	Lv 26	100	6	Grasslands, Snowfield, World Tree
Lv 3	Dinossom	Lv 10	100	4	Desert, Grasslands
Lv 2	Caprity	Lv 6	100	2	Grasslands
Lv 1	Herbil	Lv 1	100	1	Forest

A higher level is not automatically the better pick. A Pal that covers a second job you need frees a base slot, and base slots are the real constraint — which is why each row also lists the other jobs it does.

Planting research

19 pieces of Lab research improve Planting. Work amount is how much research effort each takes — the game’s own figure, not a time estimate, since how fast it completes depends entirely on the Pals you assign.

All “best Pal” rankings

A Pal’s Planting level is not fixed for life. One handbook raises it — Applied Planting Handbook I— so a Pal below the top of this list can be brought up to it.
