Nobody opens a Paldex looking for "entry #142". You look for a pal that can mine, or a Fire type for a tower fight, or something fast to ride. These 24 lists cut the 299-pal roster the way those questions run: by the twelve work suitabilities that decide what a base produces, and by the nine elements that decide a fight. Every list links into the same breeding pages, so finding the right worker is one click from breeding a better one.
