Do IVs carry over when breeding in Palworld?
No. Talent stats are re-rolled on every hatch, so only passive skills are inherited from the parents.
How do I get max stats then?
Breed the passives you want, then raise stars with the Pal Essence Condenser and soul-boost stats with Statues of Power.
Does condensing change passives?
No. Condensing affects star rank, base stats and partner-skill level only.
Should I condense before or after breeding?
After. Condensing a Pal you plan to replace with a better passive roll wastes duplicates.
How many eggs will a four-passive Pal take?
Usually 8–15 from a matched donor pair, which is 8–15 Cakes.
