Palworld Planting Guide - Best Planting Pals

While not typically flashy by any means, Grass-type Pals represent some of the most reliable workers to have in your camp. Every powerful civilization in human history figured out a great way to make bread, and your Pal camp is no different. Without the hard work of Pals with expertise in Planting, you wouldn't get very far.

Planting Pals in Palworld

Note: As with every Palworld guide around now, we're playing the Early Access version (0.1.1.4 on Xbox). Many of these details are subject to change as Palworld continues to evolve.

Planting is an essential part of growing crops in Palworld. Your Planting Pals will spread seed in any Plantations you have at your base, namely a Berry Plantation, Wheat Plantation, Lettuce Plantation, or Tomato Plantation. Tomato and Lettuce are both useful ingredients to have if you want to cook up something fancy, but they aren't really essential. Planting is vital because of how important Berries and Wheat are to Palworld. If you deploy enough Pals to plant seeds, water, harvest, move, and store Berries, you'll have an entire camp that can feed itself without your intervention. Wheat is perhaps even more critical. It's a vital ingredient that can be refined into Flour using a Mill. With it, you can make simple food items like Bread and Pancakes, but baking Cakes is vital to the Palworld breeding process.

Lifmunk, Tanzee, and Gumoss will likely be the first Planting Pals you catch on your journey. Planting is the only work suitability that Gumoss has, so if you want a Pal that stays on task endlessly planting seeds, then Gumoss is a good choice. Lifmunk and Tanzee have four other suitabilities each, making them more versatile. Like with most work tasks, if you start Planting seeds yourself and have a Pal deployed with that suitability, they may try to join you to help.

The Best Planting Pals in Palworld

The main problem with Planting Pals is that the seeding process does not take long, especially in a Berry Plantation. So if your Pal is a Planting-only Pal, then they'll stand around doing nothing for a long while, taking up a slot that a better, more versatile worker could use. Unless you're setting up a base dedicated to farming crops, it's best to steer clear of Pals like Gumoss (who can only Plant) as a worker and instead start with Lifmunk and Tanzee at lower levels. Similarly, Broncherry is one of very few Level 3 Planting Pals that's a one-trick pony, but it's outclassed by Petallia, which can also help with Gathering and Transporting those crops.

As you level up and explore a bit more, the next best Planting Pal to pursue is definitely Caprity. This Grass-type goat has Level 2 Planting and Level 1 Farming, making it a great addition to any Berry Plantation farming plan you've got cooking. They usually spawn closer to and around Level 10 on many of the southeastern islands not far from the game's starting point, namely Eastern Wild Island, Marsh Island, Windswept Hills, and the Sea Breeze Archipelago. If you're lucky enough to find a lower-level Mammorest in similar areas, be sure to catch one. This grassy wooly mammoth boasts Level 2 in Planting, Lumbering, and Mining. That ensures it will always be busy no matter what's going on.

When you hit Level 20, start exploring the Mossanda Forest with Pals in the 20-30 range. Mossanda is a great combat Pal that spawns there, but it has a well-balanced work suitability kit with Level 2 in Planting, Handiwork, and Lumbering with Level 3 in Transporting.

There's a Level 28 Petallia Alpha Pal south of Mount Flopie in the Sealed Realm of Spirits, and as soon as you get close to Level 28, it should be your priority in terms of Planting Pals to catch. Once you have a Petallia and a Mossanda, you can breed a Lyleen (Level 4 Planting, Level 3 Handiwork and Medicine, Level 2 Gathering) which is even better. Otherwise, Lyleen spawns above Level 40 at Wildlife Sanctuary No.3. 

There's a Level 38 field boss version of Wumpo Botan on the northern end of the Eastern Wild Island. While it has only Level 1 Planting, it also has Level 4 Transporting, which can help with the farming process, along with Level 2 Handiwork and Level 3 Lumbering.
