Alpha, Lucky, and Fusion Pal types in Palworld, explained

Upon first jumping into Palworld, you may be surprised to find Pal types such as Alpha, Lucky, and Fusion. But what do these mean, and how are they different?

This guide will help distinguish between these three Pal types so you know what to catch. Here’s everything you need to know about Alpha, Lucky, and Fusion Pals.

Palworld: Alpha, Lucky, and Fusion Pal types, explained

While there are plenty of normal-type Pals available to catch, what are the Alpha, Lucky, and Fusion Pal types in Palworld? Well, here’s an easy explanation of these three variations:

• Alpha: Large boss-type Pals available in the open-world.
• Lucky: Similar to Pokémon’s “Shiny” types, Lucky Pals shimmer and are rarer, leading to them having special abilities.
• Fusion: Special Pals who are products of two other Pals being bred.

Any Pal can have a Lucky version of it, but there are only specific types of Alpha and Fusion Pals. You can easily come across huge, Alpha Pals roaming the vast open world, but you can only create Fusion Pals yourself through cross-breeding.

Note: This game is in Early Access, and we’re still discovering more as we play. This information is subject to change and update!

To have a Fusion Pal, you must breed two Pals together that can work to create one of these many Fusions. Cross-breeding is still being researched as the game recently released in Early Access, so we’re not sure yet which combinations of Pals you need. Once we figure that out we’ll update you!

Honestly, the Fusion combinations just seem like one Pal type plus another random type of a specific Element. For example, to get Jolthog Cryst, you may just need to breed a Jolthog and a random Ice-type Pal.
