Levels are when Hoocrates learns each skill naturally. Skills marked Egg are inherited rather than learned, and can be passed on through breeding. Power ranks count every skill with a power value.
Innate passive skills
Hoocrates has no innate passive skill.
Every Pal of this species is born with these, on top of any rolled traits.

Community verifiedThings the game files cannot state — how a spawn behaves, what actually works in a fight. Written by players and checked by a moderator before it appears. Every other number on this page comes out of Palworld’s own data tables; these do not, which is why they sit apart.
