When you firststart your adventure inPalworld, Pal Spheres seem like a pretty sweet deal. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long for Pal Sphere to become unreliable, with a low catch rate. If you’re in that situation, let me show you how to get better Pal Spheres in Palworld.
Where to get upgraded Pal Spheres
Regular Pal Spheres aregreat when you’re starting but have miserable catch rates against larger Pals. Even if your opponent is weak, you’ll get more mileage from an upgraded Pal Sphere. Fortunately,you can craft Mega Spheres when you reach level 14. There are alsosome other ways to acquire Pal Spheresthat are a little more cheaty.
The Mega Spheresare better than regular Pal Spheres but require more resources. Each Mega Sphere costs5 Wood, 5 Stone, 1 Ingot, and 1 Paldium Fragmentand can only be assembled on aSphere Workbench. Once you hit level 20, you’ll unlockGiga Spheres, which are even better but cost more resources. Finally, you’ll acquireUltra Spheresmuch later when you reach level 35.
Leveling up can be a drag, but you get a massive EXP bonus when you catch 10 of any species. It sounds tedious, but the boost is worth it.
While there’s no concrete data available yet, Mega and Giga Spheres don’t seem to increasecapture ratesby a massive amount. In my limited testing against Syndicate Thugs, upgraded Spheres only seem to increase the catch rate by a small margin. Still, if you’ve got the Ingots to spare, more consistent Spheres are a good investment, even if the improvements are minor.
Can I get better Pal Spheres without leveling up?
Making your ownPal Spheres is the most reliable method of getting them, but you can sometimes find them in the wild. You can acquire Pal Spheres of various rarities in chests. Syndicate members can drop Pal Spheres when defeated, so it’s always worth fighting if you’re of an appropriate level.
I’ve found plenty of Spheres of mixed rarities in Dungeons, and the guaranteed chests make them worth exploring. I mentioned catching Syndicate Thugs earlier, but if you didn’t know you could do that in Palworld,check out our guidethat explains everything you need to know.
