Much like Pokemon, Palworld allows you to weaken and eventually catch these creatures. However, it puts a unique twist on things that may have you chucking the Pokemon references away.
Unlike Pokemon, catching creatures is a little more complicated, involving the collection of resources before your tools work. There are a few methods to catch a Pal in Palworld, and this guide will explain all of them to you.
Preparing your devices for catching Pals in Palworld
Your first Pal comes through a tutorial that has you a Primitive Handicraft Table and a Pal Box. Once you have these two items, you still need Pal Spheres. These are made using Paldium Fragments, Wood, and Stones.
These devices should be built by the camp. That’s where you’ll find a cooking pot and be safe from dangerous Pals.
How to catch your first Pal in Palworld
The first Pal is shown to you via tutorial, but don’t stop there. The tutorial teaches you that Palworld is a treacherous place where even chickens can murder you. To get the upper hand you need Pals, which you can catch if you have Pal Sphere. Remember that if you need more materials for Pal Spheres, just smash nearby trees and stones.
Battle the Pal until its health is low, then throw your Pal sphere. If you’re lucky, the Pal is yours. If not, try again. Once the creature is on your team, you’ll find it in your Pal Box. You can increase your odds by upping your level, going for lower-level creatures, and hitting them from behind.
Thus your Palworld journey begins. Don’t expect anything as simplified as Pokemon, Palworld will test you in many ways while keeping the fun levels high.
