How to breed Daedream.

All 60 parent combinations for Daedream

Every pair that produces Daedream averages to its breed rank of 2910, and 60 pairs in the Palworld 1.0 table hit that number. Opposite genders, cake in the breeding farm, then the egg goes in an egg incubator. Every pair here is two wild catches.

Why an older Daedream combo list won't work

Pre-1.0 guides name a recipe. The 1.0 table works on averages: a pair produces Daedream when the two parents' breed ranks average to its 2910. 60 pairs hit that average. A page showing five or six rows is quoting a sample, not the set.

Ours is the game's real 44,849-pair table, shipped verbatim rather than approximated from the rank formula. The 19,044 figure still in circulation is 138 squared, the pre-1.0 roster of base forms counted as ordered pairs, so it measures something else. One pair shows the difference. Every calculator downstream of palcalc ships Panthalus and Panthalus as breeding true, and the game's own tables prove it cannot, because that pair yields Aegidron.

The shortest breeding path to Daedream

Daedream is one of the pals a starter box already holds, catchable at level 4-16, so there is no chain to build. It is one of the 59 species every route on this site is measured from.

Daedream passive skill odds per egg

A clean four-passive pool across both parents gives 10.0% per Daedream egg, which is about 22 eggs for a 90% shot at all four. Every extra passive skill on either parent lowers it.

One junk passive on a parent can double the eggs you need. The per-egg column is the chance every passive skill you want lands on the egg, with random extras allowed. The roll behind these numbers is worked through in Palworld passive inheritance odds per egg, and the planner ranks the pairs in your own box by them.

Is Daedream worth breeding, or should you catch one?

Catch one, and early. Daedream shows up from level 4, so you will meet one long before a pair is worth assembling. You almost certainly own one already. 60 pairs is a wide enough net that one of them probably matches your box.

Breed it anyway once you own one. A pair is how you roll passive skills; catching is how you get the species.

Where to find Daedream in the wild

Daedream spawns in Sea Breeze Archipelago and 2 other areas, at level 12-16. Every one of those spawns is at night. Another 24 of its spawn points sit outside every named region.

Daedream work suitability and drops

Daedream has Handiwork 1 and Gathering 1 in Palworld 1.0, and drops Ancient Civilization Parts and Precious Pelt when killed or caught. Those levels and the drop rows come from our own export of the game's tables.

What Daedream is actually for once it hatches

Handiwork 1 is the best it does, which is base filler out of a ceiling of 8. Check best Handiwork pals for anything that does it properly. It works through the night, when the rest of the base is asleep.

Daedream active skills and partner skill

Daedream learns 8 active skills as it levels, the last at level 70. Its partner skill is Dream Chaser. That learnset is our own export of the game's level table, cooldowns and all.

What Daedream breeds into as a parent

Paired with other species, Daedream produces 108 different children, the rarest of them Kingpaca and Vaelet. A parent that wide is worth a farm slot on its own.

Other Dark-type breeding targets

Daedream sits at breed rank 2910. The nearest Dark-type targets to it are Nox at 2920 and Hoocrates at 2940, then 6 more. Breed rank is the number a pair has to average to, so a pair that overshoots Daedream usually lands on one of these instead.

Daedream breeding FAQ

Can you breed Daedream in Palworld?

Yes. 60 pairs produce Daedream in the Palworld 1.0 breeding table. Both parents have to be opposite genders, in a breeding farm, with cake in the feed box. The cheapest of those pairs is Tocotoco and Chikipi, and the egg then needs an egg incubator to hatch.

What two Pals make Daedream in Palworld?

Tocotoco and Chikipi, opposite genders. Both are catchable in the wild from about level 1, which makes it the cheapest of the 60 pairs that produce Daedream. Every other pair is listed on this page. Both parents average to its breed rank of 2910.

Can you catch Daedream in the wild in Palworld 1.0?

Yes, at level 4-16. Its spawn points fall inside 3 named regions, the densest Sea Breeze Archipelago, where they run level 12-16 at night. There is no alpha Daedream, so field spawns are the only source of one. The map on this page marks 163 spawn points for it in total.

Are these Daedream breeding combos updated for Palworld 1.0?

Yes. Every pair here comes out of the game's real 44,849-pair table, shipped verbatim rather than approximated. All 60 of Daedream's pairs are in the list. Panthalus and Panthalus is the usual tell of a stale list, and the game's tables rule it out.

Can Daedream be bred in the early game?

Yes. Daedream is one of the pals a starter box already holds, catchable at level 4-16, so nothing has to be bred first. Any pair you build from it is about rolling passive skills rather than about getting hold of the species.

Can Daedream inherit all four passive skills from one egg?

Only if both parents' combined pool is exactly those four. Daedream is born with no fixed passive, so all four slots are open, and a pair like Tocotoco and Chikipi has to carry nothing else. A clean four-passive pool is 10% per egg, about 22 eggs for a 90% shot.
