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.
