“How to Catch Finsider in Palworld: Locations, Breeding, and Battle Tip

Alright, Palworld adventurers, gather around. If you’ve clicked on this, chances are you’ve discovered that Finsider, one of the coolest yet most elusive water Pals in the game, has taken over your mission board of obsessions. Don’t worry; we’ve all been there. Whether it’s for its quirky costume-like appearance or its funky two-gun water attack (seriously, who made Finsider the John Wick of Pals?), this guide will have you snagging one like a pro.

What Exactly Is a Finsider, and Why Should You Care?

Good question, hypothetical reader. Finsider isn’t just another Water Pal. It’s a walking contradiction wrapped in a bipedal fish costume with eyes glaring out of the most unsettling mouth-hole you’ll find in Palworld. Its signature move, “Trigger Happy,” launches fast jets of water at, well, anything that threatens its fishy sovereignty, making it a mighty companion for battles or intimidating foes.

But it’s not just a fighter. Finsider also comes with a handy utility skill, “Echo Chamber,” reducing the weight of weapons in your inventory. Don’t lie; we know you’ve got a carrying capacity problem. Stock up on gear without becoming the mule of your group.

Where to Find Finsider Without Losing Your Mind

This isn’t some run-of-the-mill Pal you’ll stumble upon while picking berries. Nope, Finsider makes you work for it. Here’s where the aquatic hide-and-seek takes place:

  1. Sunlit Isle: The Easy Way (Haha, just kidding)

If luck’s on your side, Finsider sometimes spawns in the tranquil Sunlit Isle region. Think palm trees swaying gently in the breeze and sunshine glinting off blue waves. Sounds idyllic, right? WRONG. Finsider might look adorable, but approach unprepared, and you’ll be heading home with bruises (or worse, empty Poké… I mean, Pal slots). This Pal is aggressive and attacks on sight. Stay alert, and for Pal’s sake, don’t forget your best capture tools.

  1. Intermediate Fishing Spots (Near the Dessicated Desert) 

If you’re feeling fancy, fishing is another way to reel in this elusive creature. Grab yourself a mid-tier fishing rod and head down to the Intermediate Fishing Spots near the Dessicated Desert. Now, before you roast us for sending you fishing in a desert, just trust us on this one. The fishing process requires patience, and by patience, I mean standing in one spot for hours while RNG gods either bless or curse you. Roll the dice, and you might just pull out a Finsider.

  1. Breeding Madness 

Yes, Finsider is the offspring of some of the weirdest pairings in Palworld. Got a spare Munchill lying around? Combine it with Pals like Finsider Ignis or Killamari Primo, and voilà – you might have a baby Finsider joining the family. Breeding can be a grind, but hey, it gives you options if you can’t track one down in the wild. Plus, baby Pals are oddly satisfying to raise.

Seriously, you’ve made it this far – don’t blow it now. Finsider is a raging ball of aquatic aggression (even though it looks so cute!), so it’s not going down without a fight (or twenty). Here’s the strategy:

  • Pack Your Best Gear: Bring along a sturdy capture tool like the High-Power Pal Catcher (or fishing rod, just in case). Trust me, showing up with basic gear to catch Finsider is like trying to build a spaceship out of duct tape. Don’t do it.
  • Battle Smarter, Not Harder:
    • Use Grass- or Electric-type Pals to weaken Finsider. Its water-skinned arrogance is quickly humbled by some shock therapy. You’ll wear it down in no time.
    • Watch out for its “Trigger Happy” move, which will absolutely shred unprepared Pals. Keep a healer Pal in your roster to dodge any devastating losses.
  • Bait It, Don’t Chase It:
    • Wild spawn Finsiders love to sneak up when you least expect. Lay bait if possible and lure this aquatic troublemaker your way.

Why Finsider Is Worth the Grind (And A Few War Stories)

Once you’ve finally snagged Finsider, it’s hard not to feel like the ultimate Palworld collector. Beyond its battle prowess and unmatched water-gun-wielding aesthetic, Finsider serves as a valuable work Pal for tasks like transporting goods or watering crops. And, come on, how can you resist that odd-yet-charming costume it “wears”?

Perfect your Pal management by adding Finsider to your rotation, and soon you’ll find that the hours spent fishing outside the Dessicated Desert were actually worth it. Probably. Maybe.

TL;DR Checklist (Because We Know You Skimmed)

  • Where: Sunlit Isle or Intermediate Fishing near Dessicated Desert.
  • Alternative Method: Breeding (Munchill + Killamari Primo = Finsider baby).
  • Gear Up: Stash a High-Power Pal Catcher and Electric/Grass Pal for the showdown.
  • Utility Bonus: Uses “Echo Chamber” to lighten your inventory and makes farming quests hilariously easy.

Go forth, adventurer, and may your Finsider-capturing escapades be filled with chaos, bruises, and maybe a little fishy success. If this doesn’t work, don’t rage quit – just blame RNG.

Happy hunting!
