Why Tombat Is the Most Versatile Pal in Palworld—and Where to Get It

Alright, so you’re on the hunt for Tombat, the cat-bat hybrid who looks like it just stepped out of a Tim Burton fever dream. Maybe you want its incredible mining skills, or maybe you just think its purple ribbon wings are the aesthetic centerpiece your party deserves. Either way, you need help finding this nocturnal troublemaker. Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. 

Why Tombat Should Be Your Next Catch 

Before we dig into where to find this elusive Pal, let’s talk about why Tombat deserves a spot on your crew. Besides its goth-chic look, this Dark-type Pal is ridiculously versatile. Need someone to mine, gather, or transport? Tombat’s got it covered with Level 2 skills across the board. Plus, it’s a beast in combat with skills that range from an Air Cannon to an absolute powerhouse of destruction called Dark Laser (more on that below). Bonus? It doesn’t need to sleep. That’s right! While your other Pals are snoozing away, Tombat’s still out here grinding. 

Where to Find Tombat 

Obsessively searching for this bat-cat hybrid? Here’s where to look: 

• Nightfall Adventures: Tombat is strictly nocturnal, which really tracks with its whole “spooky vampire cat-bat” vibe. You won’t find this guy sunbathing in the middle of the day. Instead, check out grassy plains, caves, or any dungeon-type areas after sunset. Pro Tip: Just because the sun isn’t up doesn’t mean you have unlimited time. Once dawn fully breaks, Tombat’s gone faster than your chances of dodging that morning meeting. Here are the more likely locations:
  • • • Eastern Wild Island
      • Marsh Island
      • Windswept Hills
      • Sea Breeze Archipelago
      • Ice Wind Island
      • Forgotten Island
• Caves Are Your Best Friend: If wandering the open plains isn’t your style, head straight for the caves. Dungeons are essentially Tombat’s luxury condo. Bring a flashlight and maybe some extra courage; caves tend to harbor more than just our winged feline friend. 
• Don’t Forget Breeding: Can’t find it in the wild? Your other option is to get into some matchmaking. Pair a Vixy or Gumoss with Suzaku or Menasting (respectively), then cross your fingers for an egg. Sure, this approach takes some patience, but it’s worth it for guaranteed results. 

How to Catch Tombat Without Losing Your Sanity 

Alright, so you’ve tracked one down. Now, how do you actually catch it? Tombat is both aggressive and decently powerful, so it’s not just going to roll over as you wave a Pal Net in its face. Here’s how to tilt the odds in your favor. 

1. Come Prepared: Bring Pals with strong resistances to Dark-type attacks. Tombat’s Poison Blast or Dark Ball could wipe out unprepared team members faster than you can yell, “Oh no!” 
2. Focus on Paralyzing or Stunning: Skills that paralyze or stun Tombat will be your best friend. A disabled bat is a catchable bat. 
3. Weaken It (But Don’t Overdo It): Like any hostile Pal, Tombat’s easier to catch when it’s weak—but don’t accidentally knock it out. There’s nothing worse than landing the perfect critical hit and realizing you’ve just sent your prize flying into oblivion. 
4. Use a High-Quality Pal Net: Leave the standard nets to the amateurs. Tombat’s worth whipping out something with a little more capture power. Spring for an advanced version to boost your odds. 

Tombat Skill Breakdown 

You didn’t hear this from me (except you did), but Tombat might just be one of the most underrated Pals in Palworld. Here’s a quick look at its active skills to show you why catching it is worth the struggle. 

• Air Cannon (Level 1): Fires a burst of highly pressurized air and makes low-level enemies seriously regret existing. 
• Poison Blast (Level 7): Hurls poison sludge at enemies. Gooey and effective. 
• Dark Ball (Level 15): Basically a slow-motion homing missile of darkness. 
• Shadow Burst (Level 22): Discharges dark energy in an area-of-effect, because this flying nightmare doesn’t just hurt one enemy when it can hurt several. 
• Spirit Flame (Level 30): Launches three balls of malice that aggressively pursue enemies until they’re obliterated. 
• Nightmare Ball (Level 40): Launches one giant horrifying ball of darkness with massive splash damage. 
• Dark Laser (Level 50): Remember that scene from every sci-fi movie where someone yells “Fire the laser!”? That’s this skill. A beam of pure dark energy that obliterates anything it touches. 

Is Tombat Really Worth the Hassle? 

Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Absolutely yes. Whether you’re looking to dominate the battlefield, upgrade your mining efficiency, or simply own the most goth Pal in existence, Tombat’s your best pick. It’s like the swiss army knife of companions, minus the sharp edges but with all the darkness. 

Now that you’ve got the inside scoop, get out there, track down this nocturnal legend, and watch as your adventures (and mining productivity levels) hit unprecedented heights. Happy hunting!
