Which pals learn Maelstrom in Palworld?

Exactly one: Panthalus, which unlocks Maelstrom at level 30. No skill fruit exists for it, so that single learnset is the only place the move appears in Palworld 1.0.

Can you get Maelstrom from a skill fruit?

No. Maelstrom has no skill fruit in Palworld 1.0, so Panthalus is the only pal that will ever have it. No amount of chest farming changes that.

How much damage does Maelstrom do in Palworld?

Maelstrom has 500 power and a 24 second cooldown. Power gets multiplied by the pal's attack stat and the element matchup, so the same move hits far harder on Panthalus at 120 attack than on anything below it.

Is Maelstrom a good skill in Palworld?

As filler. At 500 power on 24 seconds it sits mid-table among Water moves, and Water runs to 800, so it holds a slot until something bigger unlocks rather than earning one outright. Off-element it also loses the same-type bonus.

Can Maelstrom be inherited by breeding?

No. Maelstrom does not carry to eggs in Palworld 1.0, so a hatchling never starts with it. Level a learner to 30 instead, and treat the move as something you train rather than something you breed for.

Panthalus Lv 30 Water

Maelstrom power and cooldown

Maelstrom hits for 500 on a 24 second cooldown, which is mid-table among Water moves, where the hardest hitter lands at 800. 24 seconds between casts puts it in the middle of a rotation rather than at the start of one.

Can you teach Maelstrom to any pal

No. Maelstrom has no skill fruit in Palworld 1.0, which is the part most move lists leave out. Panthalus is the only pal that will ever have it, at level 30. Every Water skill is listed with its own fruit flag.

Can Maelstrom pass to eggs

No. Maelstrom does not survive an egg in Palworld 1.0. A hatchling has to reach level 30 on a learnset that carries it. Breeding for it is wasted cake, so plan around the Water pals that already have it.

Is Maelstrom worth using

Only until something better unlocks. 500 power is mid-table among Water moves, and on a 24 second cooldown it is the move you run while you level toward the 800-power end of the element.
