Want to know which Pals in Palworld are best at Gathering? Gathering is one of the most important and self-explanatory Work Suitability skills in Palworld, measuring how fast your Pals are at harvesting crops from Berry, Wheat, and other Plantations.

It's always a relief to never run out of crops and to return to your base after a lengthy adventure to find that your Pals have been dutifully Gathering all the time you were gone. We've got the complete rundown on all the Pals suitable for this job, along with their Gathering levels and where to catch them.

Best Palworld Gathering Pals

Verdash is the best all-around pick for Gathering in Palworld. This versatile Pal boasts a Level 3 Gathering Work Suitability, and with a Level 3 in Handiwork and a Level 2 in Planting, Lumbering, and Transporting, Verdash isn't a slouch in any departments. This Pal was basically tailor-made to work on your base.

Aside from Verdash, the elusive Frostallion Noct is a superb Gathering Pal with a Level 4 in the skill, the highest rank possible. Unfortunately, you can only get Frostallion Noct by breeding a Frostallion with a Helzephyr, and it's unlikely that you'll have access to these Pals until the end of the game.

Other more modest choices for Gathering Pals that I like include Tombat, Petallia, and Nitewing, all of whom have Level 2 Gathering. You'll do very well with any of these Pals, at least until you can capture a Verdash or two.

All Palworld Gathering Pals

Refer to the table below for a complete list of all Pals with the Gathering Work Suitabiity in Palworld. The table shows the name of the Pal, their number in the Paldeck, their Gathering Work Suitability level, and some of the key locations where you can find them spawning in the immediate vicinity. These locations are the names of Great Eagle Statues, which you'll use for Fast Travel throughout the game. In some cases for rarer Pals, like Jetragon, the name corresponds to a dungeon area.
