How the Palworld Tier List Is Calculated
Overall Utility combines combat, base and breeding percentiles with weights of 40%, 35% and 25%. Specialist protection keeps any Pal in the top 3% of a single dimension from falling below B tier overall.
Overall tiers reward Pals that remain useful across multiple parts of the game. A specialist may rank lower overall while remaining S tier in Combat or Base Work.

How is the Palworld Tier List calculated?
Each ranking mode uses verified Palworld 1.0 data. Combat tiers use normalized Attack, HP and Defense. Base tiers use work suitability levels and coverage. Breeding tiers use offspring coverage, two-step reach and bridge value. Overall Utility combines those three dimensions with specialist protection.
Why is a strong Combat Pal only A tier overall?
Overall Utility rewards Pals that stay useful across combat, base work and breeding. A specialist may be S tier in Combat while ranking lower overall if its base or breeding value is narrow.
What is the difference between Tier List and Best Pals rankings?
The Tier List gives a fast S–D overview with ranking reasons for each mode. Best Pals pages show exact numeric rankings, filters and detailed leaderboards for every stat or work type.
Does the Combat Tier List include skills or equipment?
No. Combat tiers are based on normalized base stats only. They do not simulate skill rotations, passive skills, equipment, IVs or type matchups.
Can I filter the tier list by element or New in 1.0?
Yes. Use the search bar, element filter and New in 1.0 toggle to narrow the board without leaving the page.
