Palworld Complete Elemental Types Guide: Strengths & Weaknesses

Palworld utilizes a familiar elemental rock-paper-scissors system defining strengths, weaknesses, and best uses for its roster of creatures. Our guide profiles every current Palworld element, top Pals, and battle advantages.

As in similar monster collectors, Palworld Pals possess elemental affinities impacting combat effectiveness. Currently, 9 distinct elemental types exist, each with a specific counter element it is weak and strong against.

Smart trainers optimize around these connections when building their Palteam. Below we detail each element and top companion Pals in Palworld.

All Palworld Elements and Weaknesses

Flame /Fire Element

• Strong Against: Grass, Ice
• Weak Against: Water
• Example Pals: Foxparks, Vulpho

The fiery Flame creatures wield explosive fireballs to melt ice types and scorch grass rivals. But their blazing heat gets extinguished quickly when facing water foes. 

Frost/Ice Element

• Strong Against: Dragon 
• Weak Against: Fire
• Pals: Pengullet, Wumpo

Frost Pals resist fiery opponents with icy shields while freezing dragons solid with frigid blasts. But their powers fast thaw against intense blazes. 

Electric Element

• Strong Against: Water
• Weak Against: Ground

Sparking electric current runs through these Pals, zapping and shocking water types readily. However the electricity gets grounded quickly into the soil against earthen diggers.

Grass Element

• Strong Against: Ground
• Weak Against: Fire

Grass Pals pelt certain foes with sharp glowing leaves, penetrate ground enemies readily, but get burned away swiftly by intense flames. 

Ground/Earth Element

• Strong Against: Electric
• Weak Against: Grass

Composed of stone and minerals, Ground types easily diffuse electric attacks while hitting lightning enemies hard in return. However, the gritty Ground Pals can't stop relentless grass growth from penetrating their rocky defenses. 

Water Element

• Strong Against: Fire
• Weak Against: Electric 

Flowing gracefully, water Pals control raging flames by dowsing them with high-powered jets. But exposing their aqueous bodies against electric foes leads to shocking consequences.

Dragon Element

• Strong Against: Dark
• Weak Against: Ice

Dragon Pals breathe bursts of fiery energy to decimate dark enemies, but their inner flame gets extinguished by icy opponents. 

Dark Element

• Strong Against: Neutral
• Weak Against: Dragon

Shrouded in shadowy obscurity, not much is yet known about elusive Dark Pals except their corrosive damage heavily wounds the defenseless Neutral element. Additional details on ideal Dark Pals remain equally dim.

Neutral Element

• Strong Against: None
• Weak Against: Dark

Impartial Neutral Pals have no specific offensive strengths but relatively few weaknesses as well. Only sinister Dark enemies can heavily damage their wide-open vulnerability. But Neutral creatures avoid all other elemental strife.
