Before you get started with hunting Shiny Lucky Pals in Palworld, it’s worth taking a moment to understand what they actually are. Simply put, these are rare versions of standard Pals that make a distinct noise in the game world, which sounds very similar to something giving off sparkles! This makes them stand out while you’re exploring, so if there’s one in the area, finding it shouldn’t be too tricky. They also tend to have a slight shiny aura around them, although this is generally easier to see at night than in the daytime.

Overall, Shiny Lucky Pals generally boast better base stats than their standard versions, making them stronger in combat and more useful for work tasks. Critically, they come with the Lucky Passive Skill that increases their work speed and attack by 15%; this is the only way to get a Pal with this skill. In addition, they can have an extra Active Skill, sometimes even of a different elemental type. As such, it’s definitely easy to see the appeal of Shiny Lucky Pals in Palworld for many players!

However, you’ll probably need to search for a long while before you stumble across one of these Pals in the game - and in that time, an unstable server could put your entire progress at risk. Luckily, with a private Palworld server, worries about stability become a thing of the past!

How to Find Shiny Lucky Pals in Palworld

So, we know what Shiny Lucky Pals are, but how can you actually catch them for your own team? Well, the good news is that Lucky Pals spawn naturally in the world of Palworld, but finding them can take patience and strategy as they’re not the most common. Still, the following tips might just help make your quest to find a shiny of your own a little easier.

1 Explore the Wilds Regularly

Lucky Pals can spawn in the same locations as their normal versions, but at a much lower rate. This means that, if you want to maximize your chances, you’ll need to spend time farming specific areas where your target Pal usually appears. Keep roaming around, and you should eventually stumble across one.

2 Look for Especially Large Pals

In many cases, Shiny Lucky Pals are far, far bigger than their regular counterparts. As such, if you see a Pal that’s much larger than you’d normally expect it to be, there’s a good chance it’s a Shiny.

3 Check for the Shiny Aura

As we already mentioned, one of the easiest ways to identify a shiny Lucky Pal is by their glowing aura and sparkling sounds. As such, while exploring, keep an eye and ear out for creatures that shine or sparkle; this is usually the quickest way to spot one from a distance. Ideally, explore at night if you can to help the shine stand out from the dark background.

4 Use Your Best Pal Spheres

Since they’re so rare, you don’t want to miss out on a Shiny Lucky Pal just because your Pal Spheres weren’t of a high enough level. Given this thought, using higher-tier Pal Spheres (such as Mega or Giga variants) will give you a much better chance of success. Don’t waste standard spheres unless you want to risk losing your shiny catch.

The Benefits of Catching Lucky Pals

Now that you know how to hunt Shiny Lucky Pals, the main question arises: is it really worth going to all this effort to find a Lucky variant? After all, hunting Lucky Pals can take a lot of time, and you could catch plenty of normal ones instead of focusing exclusively on shinies. Well, yes - there are a few key benefits.

• Lucky Pals are generally stronger in battle thanks to their Lucky skill, giving you an edge in raids, dungeons, and boss fights.
• Shiny Lucky Pals generally perform better at base tasks thanks to their increased work efficiency, thus making them a valuable addition to your base setup.
• After defeating or capturing a Shiny Lucky Pal, they’ll drop Ancient Civilization Parts, making them a great way to increase your game’s technology.
