Active Skills

Every active skill in Palworld with its power, cooldown, damage-per-second and the status ailment it builds up — plus which Pals learn each one and at what level. Tap any skill to see what it does in the field and its Learned by roster. Sort by any column to find the hardest-hitting or fastest skills for each element, or filter by ailment to build a Freeze, Burn or Stun lock team.

DPS = power ÷ cooldown (sustained damage per second). An active skill whose element matches the Pal using it deals extra damage. “Egg Move” skills are inherited through breeding, not learned by level-up, and a Signature tag means one Pal alone can bring that skill to a fight. The Ailment number is how much status build-up one hit applies — the higher it is, the fewer hits a target needs to take before Freeze, Burn or Stun actually lands, and targets resistant to that status need more.

Skills the table can't show: the Sealed Realm of Terraria

The creatures inside the Sealed Realm of Terraria are not Paldex entries — you never register them, never breed them, and never carry their skills out. That also keeps them out of the sortable list above, which is built from the Paldex roster. You still have to fight them, so here is what they hit you with. Every one of these is locked to its owner: no Skill Fruit, no egg move, no capture route.

Two things stand out against the main list. The first is the cadence: every rank-and-file Realm skill recycles in 1 second, while the fastest Paldex skill sits at 2. A plain Slime Press therefore sustains 50 DPS — only Paldium Rain and Paldium Shot beat that in the table above — and Rainbow Slime's version matches Paldium Rain outright at 100. The second is ailment pressure: the coloured slimes each stack 50 points of a different status on that same 1-second timer, so a pack of three Red Slimes builds Burn faster than any single skill in the game, and Purple Slimes will Blind you before you finish a reload. The Neutral press that Illuminant Slime uses is the exception — it carries no ailment at all, which makes the pink slimes the least dangerous thing in their spawn pool despite hitting for the same 50.

The third thing is that not one of these twelve skills throws anything at you. Every single Realm attack moves the body that owns it — a leap, a lunge, a charge, or in Eye of Cthulhu's case a squad of bodies. Nothing in the Realm shoots, so cover is worth nothing here and shields nothing: there is no projectile to break line of sight against, and a wall between you and a slime only delays the jump. What does work is spacing, because every one of these has to physically arrive. Two of them punish the obvious response to that. Winged Assault and Ocular Rush both bounce off the surface they connect with, so backing yourself against a rock face turns a single dive into a second pass from the rebound — bats and Demon Eyes are far cheaper to fight in the open than in a corridor.

The three Eye of Cthulhu skills split by distance. Servant Call is the close-range one — it works up to 1000 and pumps out four chargers — while Lock-On Lunge and Frenzied Charge are only selected from 1500 to 3000 out. Fighting from inside that inner ring cuts the boss down to one skill instead of three. Its Servants are not health bars to grind down either: a Servant vanishes the moment it takes any damage at all, so a single pistol round or one swing clears one, and they time out by themselves if you simply keep moving. The two long-range charges are worth telling apart even though the numbers are identical — same 300 power, same 15-second timer, same 1500–3000 window. The difference is entirely travel speed, and Frenzied Charge is the fast one, which is the roll you will miss if you time your dodge off the slower animation.

Where you meet them: the forest layer holds Green Slimes, Blue Slimes and Demon Eyes at Lv 33–35; the cavern layer moves to Red Slimes, Purple Slimes and Cave Bats at Lv 36–38, repeated at Lv 39–41 in the mushroom layer; the hallow layer at Lv 42–44 is the only place Illuminant Slime, Rainbow Slime, Illuminant Bat and Enchanted Sword appear. Eye of Cthulhu waits at Lv 45.
