Here is all the help you need if you want to catch a shiny Pal in Palworld

Palworld is a Japanese survival adventure game developed by Pocket Pair. The game is heavily influenced by Pokemon, as you roam around the vast world collecting animal-like mythic creatures called Pals.

You start off your adventure on an unknown island surrounded by both friendly and hostile Pals. Afterwards, you start progressing by befriending and capturing Pals and gathering essential resources to survive your first night.

Palworld is a lot more than just capturing Pals and surviving the wild though. There are illegal poachers out there to hunt Pals, hostile Pals that do not want you anywhere in their vicinity, legendary Pals who lay dormant, and also tons and tons of mysteries to discover.

So, you must step up your survival game and dive deep into a world where you work alongside Pals to unravel all there is to see.

Moreover, Palworld is often compared to the renowned Pokemon franchise. So this has led to believe that Palworld might also have its own unique version of shiny Pokemon.

Despite not being called shiny pals, Palworld has Lucky Pals with a rare chance of spawning in the world and special qualities attributed only to them. So let’s dive into how you can catch one.

How To Find a Shiny Pal in Palworld

Catching a Lucky Pal in Palworld is understandably a lot more difficult than capturing the regular version of that pal. This is because they often have a very low catch rate and are rare in general. Some people encountered their first Lucky Pal way into their 30-hour mark in the game.

Unfortunately, there is no specific way actually to find a shiny or a Lucky Pal. And no way to boost your chances of seeing one either. So the only way you’ll get to encounter one is by simply exploring the world.

Tips For Finding and Catching a Lucky Pal

Although as mentioned, currently there is no surefire way to find a Lucky Pal, we can provide you some useful tips for finding and catching one. Here they are:

  1. Keep an ear out for specific sound cues: You’ll hear this ominous sparkling sound when a Lucky Pal is around you. It pretty much stands out from the rest of the surrounding sounds so you should be able to notice it if you just pay a little extra attention when travelling. Follow the sound to its source and you should find your Lucky Pal.
  2. Keep an eye out for bigger-than-average pals: So unlike Pokemon, the pals themselves don’t shimmer in gold. Rather, you can identify a Lucky Pal by seeing their size as Lucky Pals are much larger than normal. Also, while Lucky Pals do not shimmer in gold, they have this light coming out of them, as shown in the picture below.
