How Palworld breeding math actually works
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.

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.
