Palworld type chart

Nine elements, one counter each — except Fire, which beats both Grass and Ice. A super-effective hit deals double damage and takes half in return, so attacking into the right matchup swings a fight four-fold.

Rows attack, columns defend. Read across a row to see what that element does to everything else. Every cell is labelled as well as coloured: 2× is super-effective, ½× is resisted, 1× is neutral.

Where these numbers come from

Each Pal’s element is datamined from Palworld’s own files, as is everything else on this site. The damage multipliers are the one exception: Palworld resolves elemental damage in compiled code rather than a data table, so there is nothing in the game files to extract. The matchups above are the community-documented consensus, cross-checked across independent sources and verified internally consistent. If we manage to extract the real values, this note comes off.
