What is the best base Pal in Palworld?

Out of the Pals listed above, we think the Verdash is the best base Pal in Palworld. As of writing, the highest skill level in the game is 4. The Verdash has either a Level 2 or Level 3 across a whopping five different skills. This means the Verdash would be quite capable of single-handedly running your base for you as you go off to explore.

The Vaelet is another strong contender, and although they have lower level values, the Beegarde has the highest number of skill proficiencies out of all other Pals with an impressive seven skills.

If you're just starting in Palworld and have limited slots available for your base, we recommend either the Lifmunk or Flopie due to their amount of proficiencies and the ease with which you can catch one early in the game.

If you have more space to play with, the Mau is worth having as it will yield Gold Coins when assigned to a ranch. Additionally, the Flambelle can produce Flame Organs when assigned to a ranch, handy for crafting Fire Arrows.

That rounds off our guide to the best base Pals in Palworld. Now you should have a productive base providing the most amount of materials as possible.
