All 73 Nocturnal Pals.

Do nocturnal pals work at night in Palworld?

Yes. Nocturnal pals stay awake and keep working base stations through the night while the day crew sleeps, which is what doubles a station's daily output. The best night-shift worker in the game is Dandilord at Planting 8.

One nocturnal pal per station is the whole trick. A mining or transport line staffed by one of these never stops, and that is worth more than a rank on a pal that goes to bed. The best option for each of the 6 jobs nocturnal pals cover best:

How do you make it night in Palworld?

Sleep in a bed at your base. Sleeping advances the clock to the next period, which turns a daytime map into a nocturnal one in a few seconds and is faster than waiting the day out.

Take a light source before you go. Most of these live in the darker biomes, and a night sweep of the wrong region comes back empty either way. Every one of the 73 has its own spawn map on its page.

73 of the 299 pals in Palworld 1.0 are nocturnal and appear only at night. 69 of those are catchable in the wild and the remaining 4 have to be bred. Indexed lists claiming 15 or 16 night spawns are counting a pre-1.0 roster.
