Palworld 1.0 has 73 Dark type pals, counting dual types. Dark takes double damage from Dragon and deals double to Neutral. 69 are catchable in the wild and the other 4 have to be bred. The type's strongest base worker is Dandilord, which holds Planting 8, the highest work rank in the game.
Dark pals hold the top rank in Planting and in Handiwork, which is a strange pair of jobs for the type built to counter Neutral. They are also the hardest type to sweep for, because the ones you want are not standing in the field at noon.
What is Dark weak against in Palworld?
Dark takes double damage from Dragon and deals double damage to Neutral. Palworld has no elemental immunities, so an off-element attack still lands for reduced damage rather than nothing, and a dual-typed pal carries both sets of weaknesses.
Every Dark active skill lists power, cooldowns, learners and fruits. The counter roster is all 25 Dragon type pals and their weakness.
Best Dark pals for base work
The highest work rank any Dark pal reaches is Dandilord at Planting 8, out of a game-wide ceiling of 8.
Each tile is the best Dark pal for that station, not the best pal overall. The full ranking for a job lives on best Planting pals.
All 73 Dark type pals
All 73 Dark type pals in Palworld 1.0 are listed below in Paldex order, 69 of them catchable in the wild and the rest reachable only by breeding.
