How to breed Depresso.

All 40 parent combinations for Depresso

Every pair that produces Depresso averages to its breed rank of 3000, and 40 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 Depresso combo list won't work

Pre-1.0 guides name a recipe. The 1.0 table works on averages: a pair produces Depresso when the two parents' breed ranks average to its 3000. 40 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 Depresso

Depresso is one of the pals a starter box already holds, catchable at level 4-35, so there is no chain to build. It is one of the 59 species every route on this site is measured from.

Depresso passive skill odds per egg

A clean four-passive pool across both parents gives 10.0% per Depresso 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 Depresso worth breeding, or should you catch one?

Catch one, and early. Depresso shows up from level 4, so you will meet one long before a pair is worth assembling. You almost certainly own one already. 40 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.

Depresso work suitability and drops

Depresso has Handiwork 1 and Mining 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 Depresso 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.

Depresso active skills and partner skill

What Depresso breeds into as a parent

Other Dark-type breeding targets

Depresso sits at breed rank 3000. The nearest Dark-type targets to it are Mau at 3040 and Hoocrates at 2940, then 6 more. Breed rank is the number a pair has to average to, so a pair that overshoots Depresso usually lands on one of these instead.

Depresso breeding FAQ

Can you breed Depresso in Palworld?

Yes. 40 pairs produce Depresso 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 Gumoss and Lamball, and the egg then needs an egg incubator to hatch.

What two Pals make Depresso in Palworld?

Gumoss and Lamball, opposite genders. Both are catchable in the wild from about level 2, which makes it the cheapest of the 40 pairs that produce Depresso. Every other pair is listed on this page. Both parents average to its breed rank of 3000.

Can you catch Depresso in the wild in Palworld 1.0?

Yes, at level 4-35. Its spawn points fall inside 9 named regions, the densest Bamboo Groves, where they run level 13-24 at night. There is no alpha Depresso, so field spawns are the only source of one. The map on this page marks 405 spawn points for it in total.

Are these Depresso 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 40 of Depresso'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 Depresso be bred in the early game?

Yes. Depresso is one of the pals a starter box already holds, catchable at level 4-35, 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 Depresso inherit all four passive skills from one egg?

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