Best Watering Pals in Palworld

The earliest you can get each level

For each Watering 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.

Watering level	Earliest wild Pal	Wild from	Work speed	Food	Where
Lv 8	Shaolong	Lv 76	100	9	World Tree
Lv 7	Jormuntide	Lv 55	100	8	Grasslands, World Tree
Lv 6	Suzaku Aqua	Lv 42	100	7	Sky Islands, Snowfield, World Tree
Lv 5	Broncherry Aqua	Lv 30	100	6	Grasslands, World Tree
Lv 4	Skutlass	Lv 30	100	5	Sky Islands
Lv 3	Surfent	Lv 12	100	3	Desert
Lv 2	Finsider	Lv 1	100	2
Lv 1	Pengullet	Lv 2	100	1	Grasslands, Snowfield

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.

Watering research

18 pieces of Lab research improve Watering. 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 Watering level is not fixed for life. One handbook raises it — Applied Watering Handbook I— so a Pal below the top of this list can be brought up to it.
