Best Traversal Pals in Palworld 1.0

Updated

Traversal in Palworld 1.0 is not only about raw mount speed. Partner effects can rewrite your equipped glider, cancel fall damage, give the player an extra jump and air dash, or improve one particular mount. Each group says who receives the effect and keeps its terrain, time, and party conditions visible.

Field note · 1.0

The riding overhaul changed the feel of every mount

Palworld 1.0 reworked how mounts handle. You can now cancel a mount skill mid-animation by jumping with a direction input, which chains attacks and repositions far more fluidly than the old locked recovery. Dash and charge transitions were smoothed too, so accelerating out of a turn no longer bleeds momentum the way it used to.

The 1.0 partner-skill rework added many effects worded as “while in party,” while glider modifiers also work from a carrier in your party. Those perks can complement a different active Pal, but mounted-only effects still require their own ride. The Wing Pack is the mount-free alternative: it consumes Wing Cells for free flight without using a Pal slot. Because it uses a different movement system, the raw mount-speed tables below do not rank it.
