How to breed Hoodle in Palworld

Step-by-step guide

Hoodle

Dark

  • Get itWild, Lv 65–66
  • Breeding power1,770
  • Male eggs50%
  • EggDark Egg

257 pairs make Hoodle in Palworld: 256 of different Pals, plus two Hoodle. The easiest is Incineram (wild, Lv 10–36) with Penking (wild, Lv 20–55), then Loupmoon + Vanwyrm Cryst. You can also catch it from Lv 65 to 66 (lowest near Azure Woodland), so breeding it gets you one sooner.

Its breeding power is 1,770, between Smokie (1,760) and Snock (1,780): two parents whose powers average closest to 1,770 make Hoodle. Lower powers are the rarer Pals.

The easiest pairs

Sorted by how soon you can catch both parents: their lowest wild level, then how common and how hard to catch they are. Each card is one pair to put in the Breeding Farm; open it to see the egg in the calculator.

Shortest chain from early-game Pals

The fewest breeds from a Pal you catch at level 10 or lower, with the easiest partners to catch. Hatch each egg and use the new Pal in the next step.

  1. Start with TurtacleWild, Lv 1–37 · Sunlit Isle
  2. 1Turtacle + Helzephyr → HoodleHelzephyr: Wild, Lv 24–63, Gobfin's Turf

Start from your own Pals instead in the breeding chain, or plan it with passives in the Breeding path.

Passives

Hoodle has no passive of its own: a bred Hoodle inherits up to four from its two parents, at random.

To get the passives you want, pick them in the Breeding path: it finds which of your Pals carry them and the shortest route.

What Hoodle breeds into

Hoodle with each partner, by the Pal it makes (95 Pals). Two Hoodle make Hoodle.

Pairs whose mutated eggs hatch Hoodle

About 1 in 100 Breeding Farm eggs is mutated (1 in 33 with Extravagant Vegetable Cake). A mutated egg hatches another Pal than the pair’s usual child, picked from a range of breeding power set by the parents: 915 pairs can hatch Hoodle that way. It comes with IVs of 90 to 100, 2 condenser stars and a passive only mutation gives. The odds below are per egg with Extravagant Vegetable Cake.

What Hoodle’s mutated eggs hatch

Two Hoodle make a mutated egg of 11 Pals, most often Fenglope Lux (20%), Helzephyr Lux (20%) and Sootseer (8.5%). With other partners, Hoodle’s mutated eggs can hatch 82 different Pals. The rarest, with the partner that gives each one most often:

Quick answers

What two Pals make Hoodle?

257 pairs do, two Hoodle included. The easiest to set up: Incineram + Penking, Loupmoon + Vanwyrm Cryst and Turtacle + Helzephyr. Any pair works with one male and one female; level and passives don’t change the species.

Where do I catch Hoodle?

It spawns from Lv 65 to 66 (lowest near Azure Woodland). Eggs found in the world hatch it too: 6.07% of the eggs in Sunreach Egg nests (grade 1), as a Dark Egg. The map shows every spawn point by day and night.

What does Hoodle breed into?

With other Pals, Hoodle makes 95 different Pals. The rarest: Loomen (with Jetragon), Venusa (with Jormuntide Ignis) and Sootseer (with Paladius). Two Hoodle make Hoodle.

Does gender matter when breeding Hoodle?

Only that one parent is male and the other female. Which parent is which doesn’t change the egg. A bred Hoodle is male about 50% of the time.

Can Hoodle hatch from a mutated egg?

Yes: 915 pairs can. About 1 in 100 Breeding Farm eggs is mutated (1 in 33 with Extravagant Vegetable Cake), and a mutated egg hatches another Pal than the usual child, picked from a range of breeding power set by the parents. The likeliest pair is Eikthyrdeer + Chikipi: 3.7% of its mutated eggs are Hoodle, about 1 in 903 eggs with that cake. A mutated Hoodle has IVs of 90 to 100 and 2 condenser stars.

What’s the fastest way to breed Hoodle from early Pals?

1 breed from Turtacle: Turtacle + Helzephyr → Hoodle.

What are Hoodle’s stats at level 50?

At level 50 with IVs from 0 to 100, Hoodle has 2,500–3,025 HP, 418–514 Attack and 350–440 Defense, before condenser, trust, Statue of Power and passives. An alpha Hoodle has 2,850–3,480 HP.

What does Hoodle drop?

Small Pal Soul ×1–2 (100%) and Horn ×1–2 (100%). The alpha Vanishing Master Hoodle also drops Ancient Civilization Parts ×1–2 (100%) and Precious Entrails ×2–3 (100%).
