Introduction: From PC to Pocket
A. What is Palworld Mobile?
It’s the pocket version of Palworld you love on PC/Xbox/PlayStation.

Over 100 Pal species, each with unique abilities—some elemental, some utility.
Mobile mechanics let you throw Pal Spheres like grenades—swipe-aim-and-release!

Palbox spawns your build zone—this is your creative hub.
Build on flat terrain near materials (stone, wood, ore).
Early base essentials:
Workbench for crafting
Storage unit

Create focused bases: wood, ore, coal, or farming.
Assign Pals to tasks (e.g., “Mining Master”, “Chopper”).
Use multiple bases to streamline workflows and maximize farming speed.

Player + Pals combo attacks against wild mobs.
Players can use melee, ranged weapons, explosives.
Team fights include bosses like Victor and Shadowbeak—prepare strategy accordingly .
