Astral Beakon overview

Astral Beakon is a common water Pal known for its rain caller ability. Frequently sighted in the Verdant Brook. It appears most reliably around the Verdant Brook. In combat it deals Water-type damage and slots into a party as a common-tier Water unit.

Base stats & ratings

HP 182 · ATK 111 · DEF 186 · Speed 124 · Ride Speed 571 · Stamina 177. Pal Stars rates Astral Beakon PvE 6/10, PvP 5/10, Base 7/10 and Mount 4/10 for Palworld 1.0.

How to catch

Astral Beakon has a base capture rate of 62 out of 100. Weaken it below 30% HP and use a regular Pal Sphere from behind for the best odds. Elemental advantage (Fire vs Grass, Water vs Fire, Grass vs Water, Electric vs Water, Ground vs Electric, Ice vs Dragon, Dark vs Neutral, Dragon vs Dragon) speeds the weaken step.

Best moveset

Astral Beakon learns 4 active moves in Palworld 1.0. The strongest rotation is Cross Slash, Meteor, Vine Whip. Pair the highest-power Water move with a same-type STAB partner so both slots benefit from Water-boosting passives.

Work suitabilities & base role

Astral Beakon is tagged for Watering, Cooling. Slot it into a base loop that stacks its highest work value — for example, an berry + wheat plantation with cooling line — and give it the Workaholic + Serious passives to squeeze out extra work speed.

Partner skill & mount notes

Astral Beakon's partner skill "Rain Caller" activates while it rides on your shoulder or is deployed. Its ride speed of 571 makes it a support-only rider — better as a base worker than a full-time mount.
