Where To Find Tombat in Palworld

As mentioned, Tombat will not spawn on the Palworld map at all during the day cycle or in lit dungeon areas. But when dusk fades to night across grasslands and beaches, Tombat has a chance to materialize on the islands of Palworld.

Specific nighttime hotspots include all starter zone grassy plains and coastlines. More remote areas like Marsh Island, the Eastern and Forgotten Islands, and misty Ice Wind Island ruins are also prime creep zones to comb through during midnight hours searching for Tombat. Even perpetual darkness caves such as the Isolated Island Caverns can house Tombat if you need a daytime hunting spot instead.

With so many potential night crawl spaces, finding Tombat requires patience and thorough searching across multiple darkness cycles.

How to Catch Tombat in Palworld?

Tracking Tombat at night is one thing, but succeeding in the battle against its mobility takes strategy once encountered:

Equip Dragon-type Pals in your lineup like Quivern, Astegon, Orserk, etc to fiercely counter its Dark typing vulnerabilities. Utilize long-range Assault Rifles and similar firearms when possible as well to wear down Tombat's health from a safer distance.

And due to its evasiveness and low base catch rates even when weakened, bring ample extra Pal Spheres of higher quality beyond standard types to secure Tombat once its health drops into capture range.

Stay vigilant on those overnight hunts! With our tips and your persistence, soon your efforts will pay off with this valuable new ally and its mighty Ultrasonic Sensor ability.
