How to breed Yakumo.

The 120 easiest of 277 parent pairs for Yakumo

Every pair that produces Yakumo averages to its breed rank of 2230, and 277 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 157 against the pals you already own.

Why an older Yakumo combo list won't work

Pre-1.0 guides name a recipe. The 1.0 table works on averages: a pair produces Yakumo when the two parents' breed ranks average to its 2230. 277 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 Yakumo

1 breeding step from a starter box reach Yakumo. Tombat and Munchill make Yakumo.

Yakumo passive skill odds per egg

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

Catch one. Yakumo spawns from level 30, well short of the 1-step chain it takes to make one. The shortest chain from a starter box runs 1 step, and the cheapest pair still needs a level 5 catch. With 277 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.

Where to find Yakumo in the wild

Yakumo spawns in Dancing Sakura Shrine, the one named region its markers land in, at level 53-56. Another 4 of its spawn points sit outside every named region.

Yakumo work suitability and drops

Yakumo has 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 Yakumo is actually for once it hatches

Gathering 2 is the best it does, which is base filler out of a ceiling of 8. Check best Gathering pals for anything that does it properly. It eats 3 food slots, so it is cheap to keep fed.

Yakumo active skills and partner skill

Yakumo learns 10 active skills as it levels, the last at level 70. Its partner skill is Birds of a Feather. That learnset is our own export of the game's level table, cooldowns and all.

What Yakumo breeds into as a parent

Paired with other species, Yakumo produces 104 different children, the rarest of them Kingpaca and Vaelet. A parent that wide is worth a farm slot on its own.

Other Neutral-type breeding targets

Yakumo sits at breed rank 2230. The nearest Neutral-type targets to it are Kingpaca at 2220 and Gorirat at 2140, then 6 more. Breed rank is the number a pair has to average to, so a pair that overshoots Yakumo usually lands on one of these instead.

Yakumo breeding FAQ

Can you breed Yakumo in Palworld?

Yes. 277 pairs produce Yakumo 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 Tocotoco, and the egg then needs an egg incubator to hatch.

What two Pals make Yakumo in Palworld?

Mimog and Tocotoco, opposite genders. Both are catchable in the wild from about level 5, which makes it the cheapest of the 277 pairs that produce Yakumo. Every other pair is listed on this page. Both parents average to its breed rank of 2230.

Can you catch Yakumo in the wild in Palworld 1.0?

Yes, at level 30-65. Its spawn points fall inside one named region, Dancing Sakura Shrine, where they run level 53-56. There is no alpha Yakumo, so field spawns are the only source of one. The map on this page marks 52 spawn points for it in total.

Are these Yakumo 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 277 of Yakumo'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 Yakumo be bred in the early game?

The cheapest pair needs a level 5 catch, so yes, comfortably. From a starter box the chain runs 1 step, opening with Tombat and Munchill. Anything you already own further along shortens it, which is the part loading your own save changes.

Can Yakumo inherit all four passive skills from one egg?

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