Pals that drop Paldium Fragment
| Pal | Rate | Amount | Avg per kill | Where |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Rate and amount are stated by the game. “Avg per kill” is ours — the rate multiplied by the mean of the amount range — so you can compare a rare big drop against a reliable small one without doing it in your head.
