Lucky Shadowbeak overview

Lucky Shadowbeak is a shiny Lucky variant with a golden aura and +30% work speed. Extremely rare spawn. It appears most reliably around the Deep Sand Dunes. In combat it deals Water-type damage and slots into a party as a rare-tier Water unit.

Base stats & ratings

HP 503 · ATK 170 · DEF 137 · Speed 79 · Ride Speed 889 · Stamina 222. Pal Stars rates Lucky Shadowbeak PvE 6/10, PvP 5/10, Base 4/10 and Mount 6/10 for Palworld 1.0.

How to catch

Lucky Shadowbeak has a base capture rate of 10 out of 100. Weaken it below 30% HP and use a Hyper Sphere or better 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

Lucky Shadowbeak learns 4 active moves in Palworld 1.0. The strongest rotation is Blizzard Spike, Earth Fissure, Rock Blast. Pair the highest-power Water move with a same-type STAB partner so both slots benefit from Water-boosting passives.

Work suitabilities & base role

Lucky Shadowbeak 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

Lucky Shadowbeak's partner skill "Deep Current" activates while it rides on your shoulder or is deployed. Its ride speed of 889 makes it a support-only rider — better as a base worker than a full-time mount.
