What is Kelpsea's capture rate?
Kelpsea has a base capture rate of 60 out of 100 in Palworld 1.0. Weakening it below 30% HP and attacking from behind with a matching-tier Pal Sphere substantially improves the odds.

What are Kelpsea's best passive skills?
For PvE damage, stack Musclehead + Ferocious + Lucky on Kelpsea. For a base role, swap in Workaholic + Serious + Artisan. Reroll unwanted traits with the Trait Extractor at the Ancient Tech bench.
How do you breed Kelpsea?
Kelpsea's breed power seat determines its parent pairings. Cross two parents whose combined breed power averages closest to Kelpsea's, put them at a Breeding Farm with a Grade S Cake, and incubate the egg for the best hatch rate. The Pal Stars breeding calculator lists every valid pairing.
