1 pal drops Gunpowder in Palworld 1.0. The early farm is Tocotoco at ×1 per kill, wild from level 1. One source, one rate, and it is the rate the game rolls.
What drops Gunpowder in Palworld
Exactly one pal drops Gunpowder in Palworld 1.0: Tocotoco, ×1 per kill. There is no second source anywhere on the drop table, so that fight is the item.
Gunpowder is a crafting input with one destination. Tocotoco is Neutral-type with 75 attack, wild between level 1-47, and 96 parent pairs breed one if hatching it beats hunting it. Tocotoco's alpha row carries it as well, so an alpha kill pays the same item as an ordinary one.
Every source of Gunpowder, with drop rates
The one dropper, with the per-kill amount, the roll chance where the drop is not guaranteed, and the wild level band each pal spawns in.
| Pal | Per kill | Found |
|---|---|---|
 Tocotoco |
×1 | wild Lv 1-47 |
Amounts are per kill or capture. See Tocotoco's spawn points on the live map, or open any pal's page for its spawn zones and level bands.
Where to farm Gunpowder early
Tocotoco is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×1 per kill, wild from level 1, which puts it in the first hour of the game. None of the droppers is nocturnal, so the whole list is available in daylight.
Tocotoco drops 3 other things on the same kill: Ancient Civilization Parts at ×1-2, Precious Plume at ×1-2, Tocotoco Feather at ×1. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Gunpowder. Tocotoco's densest spawn is Desiccated Dunes, 327 points at level 25-36.
The game's own line points it at bullets, so how much you need is set by that recipe rather than by how much drops. Work backwards from the recipe and the farm length answers itself.
