This chart for Palworld shows all the strengths, weaknesses, and elemental type relationships that are key to understanding how to succeed in battles. There are nine different types, and while each one interacts with others in some way, some types are generally stronger with more advantages and fewer weaknesses. Below is the full type chart for Palworld along with explanations of how all the elemental matchups work in the game.
The chart above highlights how each Pal type interacts in terms of strengths and weaknesses. Arrows indicate which types are strong against or vulnerable to others. To make it clearer, here is a table listing every type along with what they are effective against and what they’re weak to:
| Type | Strong Against | Weak Against |
|———-|——————————|—————————|
| Water | Fire | Electric |
| Fire | Ice, Grass | Water |
| Grass | Ground | Fire |
| Ground | Electric | Fire |
| Electric | Water | Ground |
| Ice | Dragon | Fire |
| Dragon | Dark | Ice |
| Dark | Neutral | Dragon |
| Neutral | None | Dark |
When battling, keep in mind that taking advantage of type weaknesses can do more damage. For example, you will deal 1.5 times the normal damage to types you’re strong against, but only half as much (0.5x) to types you’re weak to. Conversely, you’ll take 1.5 times more damage from types you’re vulnerable to and less damage from those you’re resistant to.
It’s important to note that dual-type Pals have their weaknesses and resistances canceled out if the types are opposite. For instance, a Pal with Water and Grass types won’t take extra or less damage from Fire because those effects cancel each other out.
Since not all types are equal — some have multiple advantages, while others have none — your choice of Pal team should be strategic. If you’re planning to fight a specific boss, it’s best to bring Pals that can exploit their weaknesses. For example, to defeat a Dragon-type enemy, bring Ice-type Pals or those with Ice attacks.
