How to breed Tombat.

The 120 easiest of 164 parent pairs for Tombat

Every pair that produces Tombat averages to its breed rank of 2340, and 164 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. Some are two wild catches. The rest need a breed first.

The list stops at 120. Open the planner to filter the other 44 against the pals you already own.

Why an older Tombat combo list won't work

Pre-1.0 guides name a recipe. The 1.0 table works on averages: a pair produces Tombat when the two parents' breed ranks average to its 2340. 164 different pairs hit that average, which is why a page showing five or six rows is quoting a sample rather than an answer.

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 Tombat

Tombat is one of the pals a starter box already holds, catchable at level 10-45, so there is no chain to build. It is one of the 59 species every route on this site is measured from.

Tombat passive skill odds per egg

A clean four-passive pool across both parents gives 10.0% per Tombat 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 the Palworld passive inheritance odds guide, and the planner ranks the pairs in your own box by them.

Is Tombat worth breeding, or should you catch one?

Catch one, and early. Tombat shows up from level 10, so you will meet one long before a pair is worth assembling. You almost certainly own one already. With 164 pairs on the list, one half of one of them is probably in your box already.

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

Tombat work suitability and drops

Tombat has Mining 3 and Gathering 2 in Palworld 1.0, and drops Ancient Civilization Parts and Leather when killed or caught. Those levels and the drop rows come from our own export of the game's tables.

What Tombat is actually for once it hatches

Mining 3 is the best it does, which is base filler out of a ceiling of 8. Check best Mining pals for anything that does it properly. It works through the night, when the rest of the base is asleep.

Tombat active skills and partner skill

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

What Tombat breeds into as a parent

Paired with other species, Tombat produces 103 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

Tombat sits at breed rank 2340. The nearest Dark-type targets to it are Cawgnito at 2370 and Wispaw at 2250, then 6 more. Breed rank is the number a pair has to average to, so a pair that overshoots Tombat usually lands on one of these instead.

Tombat breeding FAQ

Can you breed Tombat in Palworld?

Yes. 164 pairs produce Tombat 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 Mimog and Pupperai, and the egg then needs an egg incubator to hatch.

What two Pals make Tombat in Palworld?

Mimog and Pupperai, opposite genders. Both are catchable in the wild from about level 5, which makes it the cheapest of the 164 pairs that produce Tombat. Every other pair is listed on this page. Both parents average to its breed rank of 2340.

Can you catch Tombat in the wild in Palworld 1.0?

Yes, at level 10-45. Its spawn points fall inside 4 named regions, the densest Marsh Island, where they run level 13-15 at night. There is no alpha Tombat, so field spawns are the only source of one. The map on this page marks 159 spawn points for it in total.

Are these Tombat 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 164 of Tombat's pairs are in the list, with the easiest 120 shown. Panthalus and Panthalus is the usual tell of a stale list, and the game's tables rule it out.

Can Tombat be bred in the early game?

Yes. Tombat is one of the pals a starter box already holds, catchable at level 10-45, 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 Tombat inherit all four passive skills from one egg?

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