What is Yakumo's capture rate?

Yakumo has a base capture rate of 40 out of 100 in Palworld 1.0. Weakening it below 30% HP and attacking from behind with a matching-tier Pal Sphere substantially improves the odds.

Is Yakumo a good mount?

Yakumo's ride speed is 937, earning it a 7/10 mount rating on Pal Stars. It's a competent traversal mount for its element.

What are Yakumo's best passive skills?

For PvE damage, stack Musclehead + Ferocious + Lucky on Yakumo. For a base role, swap in Workaholic + Serious + Artisan. Reroll unwanted traits with the Trait Extractor at the Ancient Tech bench.

How do you breed Yakumo?

Yakumo's breed power seat determines its parent pairings. Cross two parents whose combined breed power averages closest to Yakumo's, put them at a Breeding Farm with a Grade S Cake, and incubate the egg for the best hatch rate. The Pal Stars breeding calculator lists every valid pairing.
