How to Catch Lucky Pals in Palworld: Expert Tips and Tricks

If you've ever heard the unmistakable shiny-sounding tone while exploring in Palworld, you know the excitement and anxiety that comes with Lucky Pal hunting. This unique tone signals that a Lucky Pal is nearby, but catching it can be a daunting task. Fortunately, we've got some expert tips to help you snag those elusive Lucky Pals every time.

What Makes Lucky Pals Easier to Catch

Unlike some games, Lucky Pals don't have their own individual catch rate difficulties. This means that catching a Lucky Pal is just as easy as catching a regular Pal. However, having the right strategy and preparation can make all the difference. Here are our top 5 tips to help you catch Lucky Pals in Palworld:

5. Always Bring Spheres

Holding the right gear is essential for catching Lucky Pals. Always ensure you have a sufficient supply of spheres on you, particularly high-tier ones. This increases your chances of catching those rare Pals. Whether it's Giga Spheres or something more potent, having the right tools will help you catch those Lucky Pals.

4. Go for Back Catches

Taking advantage of spatial awareness can greatly improve your catch rate. Pals are often dense and unaware of their surroundings, making it easier to get a Back Bonus when attempting to catch one. Pay attention to the Back Bonus text that appears as you go in for a catch, and reap the rewards of increased chances.

3. Be Mindful of Pal Abilities

Every Pal is unique, with distinct abilities that can either hinder or help your catching process. Some Pals, like the bird Pal, explode on encounter, while others flee like Cattiva. Researching your target Pal's abilities will help you devise the best strategy for catching it.

2. Use Weak Moves and Weapons

When attempting to catch a Pal, use moves and weapons that won't deal excessive damage. This will prevent accidentally killing the Pal, which can be a frustrating experience. By being gentle and lowering the Pal's HP gradually, you'll have a higher chance of catching it successfully.

1. Cash In Lifmunk Effigies Before Leaving

Although Lifmunk Effigies previously lowered catch rates, this bug has been patched. Before heading out on any exploration, remember to cash in those effigies. Each one will improve your catch rate, making it easier to snag those elusive Lucky Pals.
