Dark Ball power and cooldown
Dark Ball hits for 50 on a 2 second cooldown, which is at the low end of Dark's range, where the hardest hitter lands at 800. A 2 second cooldown means it is up again almost immediately, so the damage arrives in small helpings.
Can you teach Dark Ball to any pal
No. Dark Ball has no skill fruit in Palworld 1.0, which is the part most move lists leave out. The 28 pals in the grid on this page are the only ones that will ever have it. Anything else in your box is permanently out. Every Dark skill is listed with its own fruit flag.
Can Dark Ball pass to eggs
Yes. A parent that knows Dark Ball gives the hatchling a chance to be born with it already equipped, which is one fewer fruit and one fewer level grind. Check which half of a pair carries it before you commit them, because the breeding planner reads the moves off your save and can tell you.
Is Dark Ball worth using
Early on. 50 power is at the low end of Dark's range, so it is what you use before the element's real moves unlock at up to 800. Keep it if the 2 second cooldown is doing the work; drop it once Frostallion Noct learns anything bigger.
Dark Ball FAQ
- Which pals learn Dark Ball in Palworld?
- 28 of them, and the grid on this page names every one with the level it unlocks Dark Ball at. The earliest is Daedream at level 1; Frostallion Noct gets the most out of it at 140 attack. The list is read off the game's own skill-master table.
- Can you get Dark Ball from a skill fruit?
- No. Dark Ball has no skill fruit in Palworld 1.0, so the 28 pals on this page are the only ones that will ever have it. No amount of chest farming changes that.
- How much damage does Dark Ball do in Palworld?
- Dark Ball has 50 power and a 2 second cooldown. Power gets multiplied by the pal's attack stat and the element matchup, so the same move hits far harder on Frostallion Noct at 140 attack than on anything below it.
- Is Dark Ball a good skill in Palworld?
- Early only. 50 power is at the low end of Dark's range against 800 at the top of the element, so it fills a bar before the real Dark moves unlock and comes off it afterwards. The 2 second cooldown is the one thing in its favor.
- Can Dark Ball be inherited by breeding?
- Yes. A parent that knows Dark Ball gives the egg a chance to hatch with the move already equipped, which saves you a fruit and a level grind. Worth checking which parent has it before you commit a pair to the breeding farm.
