What is the Ultra Sphere catch multiplier in Palworld?

4×. It multiplies the target's base capture rate before health, status and back-throw bonuses are applied.

How do you craft a Ultra Sphere?

5 Paldium Fragment, 10 Wood, 5 Pal Metal Ingot, 3 Carbon Fiber, at a workbench once you unlock it at Technology level 40.

What level Pals can a Ultra Sphere catch?

Pals up to about level 50. Higher-level targets are still catchable if you drop them to red health and apply a status effect first.

Is the Ultra Sphere worth the materials?

Yes for targets inside its band or for anything rare. For common low-level Pals, one tier down costs far less and catches just as reliably.

Does throwing from behind help?

Yes — a back throw adds a hidden bonus on top of the sphere multiplier, and it stacks with sleep and low health.

Can spheres be bought instead of crafted?

Wandering Merchants sell lower-tier spheres for Gold — see /guides/palworld-pal-merchants-guide. Legendary Spheres are craft-only.
