What is the best Ground Pal in Palworld?
Out of the Pals listed above, the Anubis is undoubtedly the best Ground Pal in Palworld. In combat, the Anubis can flit across the battlefield with an impressive speed sidestep, making it a nightmare for enemies to target. Additionally, its Partner Skill, Guardian of the Desert applies Ground damage to the player's attacks.
Out of the attacks at the Anubis Pal's disposal, the Sand Tornado (available at level 15), can launch two sand tornados at enemies with a damage output of 80. The Anubis has many more powerful Ground attacks, up to and including the Rock Lance attack at level 50, which is capable of delivering 150 attack power in the form of a large rock spear summoned underneath an enemy.
If you're still fairly early on in your Palworld playthrough, consider recruiting a Dumud as a reliable Ground Pal team member. Their Partner Skill, Soil Improver naturally buffs all attacks of other Ground Pals in your team. Although the Dumud is best-caught northeast of Sealed Realm of Winged Tyrant, we found luck hatching one at an Egg Incubator with a Common Rocky Egg. We also caught one in a random cage within an enemy camp. You can check out our interactive map for a more comprehensive guide to all Egg locations in Palworld.
If you want a Ground Pal to take care of mining at your base, we suggest recruiting a Digtoise which has a mining skill level of 3. Additionally, their Partner Skill, Drill Crusher allows them to perform a spinning attack which crushes up ores and mines them quickly.
