How do Passive Skills Work?
In Palworld, each Pal is capable of possessing a maximum of four Passive Skills that provide both beneficial and detrimental effects during and outside of battles, as well as within the base. These unique abilities can enhance attack or defense, improve speed, amplify type damage, and even expand the players’ inventory.

Despite their automatic activation, many players tend to overlook these buffs or nerfs. However, once you learn how to utilize them, they can prove to be highly advantageous.
Changing Passive Skills in Palworld
Unfortunately, it is not possible to alter a Pal’s Passive Skills. However, through selective breeding, you can produce exceptionally strong Pals with the desired Passive Skills, as these qualities are passed down during the breeding process.
One can also discover the desired Passive Skills in a Pal by catching numerous Pals and hoping to come across the one with the desired skills.
