Which pals learn Dark Root

One pal learns Dark Root by level-up: Dualith Noct, at level 70, with 110 attack behind it. No fruit teaches it, so that one pal is the whole list.

Dark Root power and cooldown

Dark Root hits for 700 on a 30 second cooldown, which is near the top of Dark's range, where the hardest hitter lands at 800. At 30 seconds between casts you get one of them per engagement, and a missed cast is the whole engagement.

Can you teach Dark Root to any pal

No. Dark Root has no skill fruit in Palworld 1.0, which is the part most move lists leave out. Dualith Noct is the only pal that will ever have it, at level 70. Every Dark skill is listed with its own fruit flag.

Can Dark Root pass to eggs

No. Dark Root does not survive an egg in Palworld 1.0. A hatchling has to reach level 70 on a learnset that carries it. Breeding for it is wasted cake, so plan around the Dark pals that already have it.

Is Dark Root worth using

Yes, on a pal that already boosts Dark. 700 power is near the top of Dark's range, and the 30 second cooldown is the price of it. Put it on Dualith Noct at 110 attack and it is the opener; on a low-attack pal the wait is not worth the hit.

Dark Root FAQ

Which pals learn Dark Root in Palworld?
Exactly one: Dualith Noct, which unlocks Dark Root at level 70. No skill fruit exists for it, so that single learnset is the only place the move appears in Palworld 1.0.
Can you get Dark Root from a skill fruit?
No. Dark Root has no skill fruit in Palworld 1.0, so Dualith Noct is the only pal that will ever have it. No amount of chest farming changes that.
How much damage does Dark Root do in Palworld?
Dark Root has 700 power and a 30 second cooldown. Power gets multiplied by the pal's attack stat and the element matchup, so the same move hits far harder on Dualith Noct at 110 attack than on anything below it.
Is Dark Root a good skill in Palworld?
Yes. At 700 power on 30 seconds it sits near the top of Dark's range, where the hardest hitter lands at 800, so it is worth the slot on Dualith Noct at 110 attack. Keep it on Dark if you can: off-element the 700 power stays and the same-type bonus goes.
Can Dark Root be inherited by breeding?
No. Dark Root does not carry to eggs in Palworld 1.0, so a hatchling never starts with it. Level a learner to 70 instead, and treat the move as something you train rather than something you breed for.
