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.
