Palworld Combat Tier List
Every pal scored for combat at a fixed level-50 reference build, so the ranking compares the pal rather than how much you've invested in it. The number on each card is the whole score, built from effective attack, effective durability and how many of its skill elements are actually usable by level 50.

How these tiers are worked out
Combat pals are scored at a fixed level 50 reference build — neutral IVs, no Condenser, no Souls — so the ranking compares the pal itself, not how much you've invested in it. The score combines offense (effective attack times a mix of your hardest hit and your best sustained damage, from the skills the pal actually knows by level 50), durability (effective HP and defense together) and coverage (how many different skill elements the learnset covers), weighted 55/30/15. Hovering a card shows the skill driving its offense score. Element type advantages aren't baked into the score — a skill's element decides the matchup, not the pal's, and a pal carries several skills, so coverage is how that breadth counts instead of one number pretending to answer every matchup. Pals with no scoreable skill data are listed separately as unranked, never placed in the bottom tier.
Rankings are computed from pal data scraped from the Palworld Wiki and recomputed on every re-scrape, so they follow the game rather than an editor's opinion. Pals we are missing data for are listed separately as unranked, never placed in the bottom tier.
