Palworld Shortest Breeding Path Calculator

Every Pal has a hidden Breed Power number. Two parents produce an egg whose Breed Power is the ceiling of their average — the closest Pal in the table becomes the child.

Key takeaways
  • The formula
  • Passive skill inheritance
  • Gender ratios
  • Cake sustain

The formula

child_power = ceil((parentA_power + parentB_power + 1) / 2). Ties break upward.

Passive skill inheritance

Each passive has ~40% inheritance odds; stacking Legendary + Musclehead + Ferocious + Lucky requires ~20 eggs from two fully-traited parents.

Gender ratios

70% of egg genders match the mother's element.

Cake sustain

Each successful breed consumes one cake. Build a fully automated cake loop before starting any Legendary project.
