Palworld Breeding Power — Full List, Formula & CombiRank Guide

Every Pal in Palworld possesses a hidden internal Breeding Power value (also known as CombiRank) used by the game engine to calculate standard offspring results. This numerical value strictly serves as a species-result calculation key rather than a combat stat, rarity indicator, or overall power rating. Note: Special parent-pair overrides and restrictive breeding rules bypass the standard power calculation formula entirely. If you want to check specific cross-breeding pairings or view unique hybrid overrides, you can also explore our detailed Palworld Unique Breeding Combinations guide.

Palworld Breeding Power — Full List, Formula & CombiRank Guide

What Is Breeding Power in Palworld?

Breeding Power is a hidden numerical stat assigned to every species in Palworld that drives the standard breeding calculation formula. Across different community guides and tools, this stat is often referred to interchangeably by several common terms:

  • Breeding Power
  • CombiRank
  • Breeding Rank
  • Breeding Value

This number exists purely as part of Palworld's backend mathematical logic to determine which child Pal is produced when cross-breeding two parents. It is essential to understand that a lower or higher Breeding Power number does not represent a simple "stronger vs weaker" combat ranking in battle.

What Does a Pal’s Breeding Power Number Mean?

A Pal's Breeding Power number dictates where that species sits within the game's internal breeding hierarchy. When two Pals breed without a special override rule, the game averages their power numbers together to locate the target child species whose own Breeding Power is closest to that calculated average.

How to Read the Breeding Power Chart

Search for a Specific Pal

Use the search input field to look up any species by its name or Paldex entry number. The chart instantly filters down to display that specific Pal's current internal breeding value.

Sort by Breeding Power

You can organize the chart to evaluate species hierarchy efficiently. Sort columns numerically from Low to High, High to Low, alphabetically by name, or sequentially by Paldex number.

Clicking the "View Combinations" button next to any entry directs you to our Full Breeding Database, revealing all verified parent pairs capable of producing that Pal or using it as a parent.

How the Palworld Breeding Power Formula Works

When two Pals breed without triggering a special override rule, Palworld uses a mathematical formula to determine the child species:

Target Rank = floor((Parent A Rank + Parent B Rank + 1) / 2)

In plain English: the game takes Parent A's rank, adds Parent B's rank, adds 1 to the total, divides by 2, and rounds down (floor) to find the target rank number.

Step-by-Step Calculation

  • Step 1: Look up Parent A's hidden breeding power value.
  • Step 2: Look up Parent B's hidden breeding power value.
  • Step 3: Add both parent values together.
  • Step 4: Apply the formula floor((Sum + 1) / 2).
  • Step 5: Compare the calculated target rank against all eligible Pal species ranks.
  • Step 6: Select the Pal whose breeding power is closest to the calculated target.

Worked Example — Predicting a Child Pal

Let's take a standard verified cross-breeding pair, Lamball (Breeding Power = 1470) and Anubis (Breeding Power = 570):

  • Parent A (Lamball) = 1470
  • Parent B (Anubis) = 570
  • Target = floor((1470 + 570 + 1) / 2)
  • Target = floor(2041 / 2) = 1020.5 → 1020
  • Closest eligible Pal matching rank 1020 = Arsox (Breeding Power = 1020)

How the Closest Child Is Selected

The target calculation does not always hit a Pal's exact breeding power number. If no species exists with that exact rank, the game engine picks the closest valid Pal rank in the system hierarchy.

What Happens If Two Pals Are Equally Close?

If the calculated target falls exactly halfway between two eligible Pal ranks, the game applies internal index tie-break ordering based on Paldex order or predefined tie-break priority in current game data.

Does a Lower Breeding Power Mean a Stronger Pal?

No — breeding power is not a combat tier list. A Pal's breeding power value is strictly an index number used by the breeding algorithm, not a measure of battle stats, movement speed, or element tier.

It is important to distinguish between separate game mechanics:

  • Breeding Power: Used exclusively to calculate offspring species in normal breeding.
  • Rarity / Tier: Dictates wild spawn frequency and capture difficulty.
  • Combat Strength: Determined by base stats (HP, Attack, Defense) and active skill pools.
  • Base Stats & Partner Skill: Fixed multipliers determining combat output and utility benefits.
  • Work Suitability: Base productivity tasks (e.g., Kindling, Mining, Handiwork levels).

Why Breeding Power Should Not Be Used as a Tier Ranking

A lower or higher breeding rank number does not automatically mean a Pal is superior in combat. For instance, some specialized base workers or mounts have high breeding power numbers despite being exceptionally useful, while some lower-rank Pals excel only in specific niche roles.

How to Use Breeding Power to Target a Specific Pal

Step 1 — Find the Target Pal’s Breeding Power

Look up your desired child Pal in our searchable chart to note its exact breeding power value.

Step 2 — Look for Parent Values Around the Target

Find one parent with a higher breeding power and another with a lower breeding power so their average falls near your target rank.

Step 3 — Check the Predicted Child

Run the floor((A + B + 1) / 2) math to ensure your selected pair hits or rounds closest to your target rank.

Step 4 — Confirm the Pair in the Breeding Calculator

Before spending Cake, verify your result using the dedicated Palworld Breeding Calculator → to confirm that no special override takes priority.

When Breeding Power Does NOT Determine the Child

Unique / Special Override Combinations

Certain predefined parent pairs have hardcoded exception rules that bypass standard mathematical averages entirely. For example, Mossanda + Rayhound always yields Grizzbolt regardless of CombiRank numbers. See all special exception pairs in our Palworld Unique Breeding Combinations guide.

Restrictive / Self-Breed Rules

High-tier Legendary species and specific variants require direct same-species parents (e.g., Frostallion + Frostallion). Mathematical formulas will not predict these restricted outcomes.

Why Formula-Only Calculators Can Be Wrong

Calculators that only apply the mathematical formula without accounting for special overrides, restrictive rules, and current version patch notes will generate inaccurate predictions.

Breeding Power vs IVs, Passives & Combat Strength

Mechanic What It Affects
Breeding Power / CombiRank Which Pal species is produced in normal breeding
IVs / Potential Offspring stat quality (HP, Attack, Defense multipliers)
Passive Skills Inherited traits, combat buffs, and utility speed bonuses
Combat Stats Actual battle performance in combat scenarios
Mutation Separate offspring mechanic where applicable

Do IVs Change Breeding Power?

No. Individual Values (IVs) modify stats, but they have zero effect on species breeding power.

Do Passive Skills Change Breeding Power?

No. Passives like Swift or Legend transfer traits to offspring, but they do not alter species breeding rank.

Does Parent Level Change Breeding Power?

No. Parent level affects combat ability in the field, but breeding power values remain completely fixed regardless of level.

Breeding Power Myths & Common Mistakes

“Lower Breeding Power Always Means a Better Pal”

False. Breeding power is a calculation index, not an indicator of overall battle performance or utility value.

“Higher-Level Parents Produce Higher-Rank Children”

False. Parent level has no impact on the fixed breeding rank used in the child calculation formula.

“Lucky Changes Breeding Power”

False. The Lucky trait is a passive skill passed down via standard RNG inheritance; it does not change the parent's base breeding rank.

“Work Speed Makes Breeding Power Better”

False. Work speed traits affect base labor efficiency, not the breeding duration or species calculation.

“The Formula Works for Every Pair”

False. Special parent overrides and restrictive self-breed rules completely supersede the standard formula.

Using an Outdated Breeding Power Chart

Game updates occasionally rebalance breeding tables. Always rely on our active database to ensure accuracy with current patch data.

Breeding Power Examples — Normal vs Special Result

Example 1 — Normal Breeding-Power Result

Parent A: Cattiva (1460)
Parent B: Direhowl (1060)
Formula Result: floor((1460 + 1060 + 1) / 2) = 1260.5 → 1260
Actual Child: Galeclaw (Breeding Power = 1260)

Example 2 — Special Override Result

Parent A: Relaxaurus (280)
Parent B: Sparkit (1410)
Formula Calculation: floor((280 + 1410 + 1) / 2) = 845 (Would normally point near Rooby)
Actual Child: Relaxaurus Lux (Hardcoded special override bypasses formula completely)

Palworld Breeding Power FAQs

What is breeding power in Palworld?

Breeding power (or CombiRank) is a hidden internal value assigned to each Pal species to calculate offspring results in normal breeding.

How is breeding power calculated?

It uses the formula floor((Parent A Rank + Parent B Rank + 1) / 2) to find the target child rank in standard cross-breeding.

Is lower breeding power better?

No, lower breeding power does not inherently mean a Pal is stronger in battle; it is purely a calculation value.

Does a Pal’s level affect breeding power?

No, parent level has no effect on species breeding rank numbers.

Do passive skills affect breeding power?

No, passives pass down traits to offspring but do not alter the parent species' breeding rank.

Do IVs affect breeding power?

No, individual stat potential (IVs) does not change base species breeding rank values.

Why did my calculated breeding result produce a different Pal?

This occurs when the pair triggers a special override, follows restrictive same-species rules, uses outdated pre-patch data, or rounds to an adjacent eligible rank.

Do unique breeding combinations ignore breeding power?

Yes, special override combinations completely bypass standard rank calculations.

Can two different parent pairs have the same breeding-power target?

Yes, different numerical parent combinations can calculate to the same target average and yield the same child species.

Where can I find a specific Pal’s breeding combinations?

You can look up any Pal in our Full Breeding Database or search our Pal-specific How-to-Breed guides.
