How to catch
Storm Rayhound has a base capture rate of 72 out of 100. Weaken it below 30% HP and use a regular Pal 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
Storm Rayhound learns 4 active moves in Palworld 1.0. The strongest rotation is Rock Blast, Solar Beam, Solar Beam. Pair the highest-power Neutral move with a same-type STAB partner so both slots benefit from Neutral-boosting passives.
Work suitabilities & base role
Storm Rayhound is tagged for Handiwork, Transporting. Slot it into a base loop that stacks its highest work value — for example, an general handiwork line — and give it the Workaholic + Serious passives to squeeze out extra work speed.
Partner skill & mount notes
Storm Rayhound's partner skill "Steady Companion" activates while it rides on your shoulder or is deployed. Its ride speed of 837 makes it a support-only rider — better as a base worker than a full-time mount.
