How to catch
Shadowbeak has a base capture rate of 50 out of 100. Weaken it below 30% HP and use a Mega Sphere 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
Shadowbeak learns 4 active moves in Palworld 1.0. The strongest rotation is Slam, Rock Blast, Slam. Pair the highest-power Grass move with a same-type STAB partner so both slots benefit from Grass-boosting passives.
Work suitabilities & base role
Shadowbeak is tagged for Planting, Gathering. Slot it into a base loop that stacks its highest work value — for example, an plantation and gathering line — and give it the Workaholic + Serious passives to squeeze out extra work speed.
Partner skill & mount notes
Shadowbeak's partner skill "Photosynthesis" activates while it rides on your shoulder or is deployed. Its ride speed of 781 makes it a support-only rider — better as a base worker than a full-time mount.
