Using a mount in Palworld not only makes travel faster, but opens up a lot of attacks that you can do through the Pal you’re riding. However, not all Pal🌌s are as good as each other and as you progress through the game, you’ll soon find yourself wanting an improvement.
Whether you’re traversing the land, swimming to a distant Wildlife Sanctuary, or soaring through the skies, you’l𒀰l need a suitable Pal to use as a mount. Even at the very start of the game, you can use anything from a Nitewing to a Dinossom as a mount, but they’re not particularly fast and they lack stamina for long bursts of speed.
When looking for the best mount, you’ll need to consider speed, but also stamina. To confuse matters, each Pal has a specific amount of both, and on top of that, you also need to consider passive traits, which also provide speed buffs to a mounted Pal, such as Motivational Leader or Swift. Not to mention the fact that some mounts come with additional benefits such as double or even triple jump capabilities.
I know. It’s a lot.
To help, I’ve taken a deep dive into the topic of mounts and done some research, some testing, and more th🍒an a reasonable amount of complainin♏g. Here’s what I figured out.
In this article, I’m going to focus on basic speed and stamina stats. When it comes to passive skills that apply speed buffs, just remember that Motivational Leader makes a mount slightly faster, while Swift makes them considerably faster.
Best land mounts
If you’re looking for a Pal to help you traverse the land in Palworld, technically, the fastest mount in the game is Necromus, with a basic speed of 1600. However, while it is i💝ndeed a very fast mount, it falls short in terms of stamina, so if you’re looking for a healthy balance between the two, there are better ඣoptions that are also easier to obtain.
Frostallion & Frostallion Noct
Mount speed: 1500
Stamina: 300
Okay so maybe I lied about being easy to obtain, but these two are breedable if you kn🉐ow which parent pairs to couple up in your Breeding Farm.
Both Frostallion and its Noct counterpart boast an impressive 🌳basic speed stat of 1500 and a stamina stat of 300, which means that you’ll be able to maintain sprint speed for much longer periods of time with Frostallion when compared to other ground mounts. Additionally, while riding Frostallion, player attacks are changed to ice-type attacks. Riding Frostallion Noct applies a similဣar buff, except player attacks are changed to dark type.
Paladius
Mount speed: 1400
Stamina: 100
While Paladius is, admittedly, ever so slightly slower than Frostallion at a 🌟basic level and suffers from a measly 100 stamina, there is a secret to this mount that makes it a very good land mount; Paladius, for all of its shortfalls, has a triple ju⭕mp capability, meaning that it can traverse difficult terrain with ease. Sadly, Paladius offers no attack buffs to its rider.
Pyrin & Pyrin Noct
Mount speed: 1300
Stamina: 100
Both variations of this Pal have a basic mount speed stat of 1300 but aga🌞in lack the stamina of Frostallion. This means that yes, you’ll be able to speed across relatively flat terrain, but you’ll have to slow down pretty regularly in order to regain lost stamina. On the plus side, both variations apply type damage to player attacks while mounted; Pyrin add🗹s fire damage, while Pyrin Noct applies dark damage.
Best swimming mounts
Water mounts allow players to effortlessly ♔travel over water, something that flying mounts also do, which often leaves swimming mounts overlooked. However, there are additional benefits t𝄹o be gained by using a dedicated swimming mount if you’re traveling a long distance over water. Currently, there are only three swimming-specific mounts in Palworld, so I’m going to look at all of them in depth.
Azurobe
Mount speed: 800
Stamina: 100
Azurobe boasts the additional benefit of also being able to fly. With a basic speed stat of 800, it’s the fastest swimming mount in Palworld currently. Notably, Azurobe is the only swimming mount that does not have a partner skill to prevent stamina loss over water, which isn’t helped by its basic stamina stat of 100.
Jormuntide
Mount speed: 700
Stamina: 100
Unlike its Ignis counterpart, Jormuntide will allow a player to travel over water, and thanks to its Stormbringer Sea Dragon partner skill, you won’t lose any stamina while doing so. The lack of stamina depletion is the biggest benefit to using swimming mounts because you can travel for as far as you like and never have to worry about running out of steam – useful when you consider that Jormuntide has a basic stamina stat of 100. However, Jormuntide is not a fast mount; the basic speed stat for this Pal is only 700.
Surfent
Mount speed: 650
Stamina: 100
Don’t bother trying to take S🅰urfent Terra out over the water, it won’t end well for you, I promise. Only the water type Surfent is a swimming Pal, although it is the slowest Pal on this very short list with a basic speed stat of 650. On the plus side, the partner skill for Surfent also prevents stamina loss while traveling over water, so the basic stamina stat of 100 isn’t an issue.
Best flying mounts
Before we begin this section, I’m going to address the Mammorest in the r🦹oom:
Yes, Jetragon is absolutely the fastest mount in Palworld, full stop, and nothing can come close. Is tꦇhe 3300 basic mount speed stat impဣressive? Of course. However, despite its speed, Jetragon still has the same basic stamina stat of 100 so while it can speed through the skies at lightning speed, it can’t do it for long.
Also, Jetragon is possibly the last Alpha Boss you will fight and it cannot be bread unless you already have two Jetragons to breed i🐻t froജm, making it one of the hardest Pals to get your hands on.
For thos𓂃e reasons, I’m not including it in my list and I will forever stand by that decision.
Moving on.
Faleris
Mount speed: 1400
Stamina: 230
Boasting a basic mount speed stat of 1400 and an impressive stamina stat of 230, not only can Faleris fly quickly, but it can fly for a long time a𓆉nd that makes it the best pre-level 50 flying mount currently within Palworld. This Pal also has the “Scorching Predator” partner skill, which will cause ice-type Pals to drop more items when defeated. As such, if you’re going flying around the ice-capped mountains, this is the perfect mount to take with you.
Ragnahawk
Mount speed: 1300
Stamina: 150
Despite having a basic stamina stat of 150, which is still noticeably better than most other mounts within the game, Ragnahawk boasts a speed stat of 1300. Best of all, Ragnahawk is easily breedable with a long list of potential parent pairs, so it’s easy to get from mid-game onwards. Last but not least, Ragnahawk applies fire damage to a player’s attacks while mounted, so again, it’s perfect if you want to go and attack some ice Pals.
Suzaku & Suzaku Aqua
Mount speed: 1100
Stamina: 350
Technically, Beakon is faster than Suzaku by 10🌌0 but I’m skipping over it for a very good reason.
Despite the fact that Suzaku and its Aqua counterpart have a basic mount speed of 1100, slower than the other two I’ve mentioned here, These Pals have more stamina than any other mount within the game. With a basic stat of 350, Suzaku and Suzaku Aqua canꦕ fly for a very long time without having to worry about crashing to the ground. Additionally, each variant buffs its types of attack while mounted, so Suzaku buffs fire attacks while Suzaku Aqu✅a buffs water attacks.
