How many Pals can you have in Palworld?

How many Pals can you have in Palworld? The answer depends on several factors, including your storage capacity, active party size, and base management needs.

Active Party Limit

In Palworld, you can carry up to 5 Pals in your active party at any given time. These are the Pals that accompany you during exploration, combat, and resource gathering. You can easily switch between these active Pals using the Pal management interface.

Palbox Storage Capacity

Your total Pal collection is limited by your Palbox storage capacity. Initially, you can store up to 480 Pals in your Palbox. However, this number can be increased significantly through upgrades:

- Base Palbox: 480 Pals

- Maximum upgraded capacity: 960+ Pals

- Additional storage can be unlocked through technology points and base improvements

Base Working Pals

Beyond your active party and stored Pals, you can assign Pals to work at your base. The number of working Pals depends on your base level and available facilities. Higher-level bases can support more simultaneously active worker Pals, typically ranging from 10-20 working Pals per base.

Catching vs. Storage Strategy

While there's no hard limit on how many different Pal species you can encounter (over 100 species exist), managing your collection becomes crucial due to storage constraints. Many players focus on:

- Keeping high-level variants of each species

- Maintaining Pals with optimal work suitabilities

- Breeding combinations for rare traits

Maximizing Your Collection

To expand your Pal capacity, prioritize upgrading your Palbox through the technology tree and consider establishing multiple bases for additional working Pal slots.
