As an incredibly loyal pal, it’s easy to see why so many people love Yakumo - after all, not only ill it happily stay by your side during your travels, but its appealing design undoubtedly appeals to many players. Given this thought, if you’ve been dreaming of capturing your own Yakumo, we’ve outlined everything you’ll need to know in today’s guide to help you find, capture, and train up your new Yakumo pal.

What is Yakumo in Palworld?

Yakumo is a neutral-type pal that’s popular for its all-round stats, making it a potentially excellent pal to capture in the mid game. This is further supported by its Birds of a Feather ability, which allows it to attract pals with the same passive skill; as such, if you capture a Yakumo with an excellent passive skill, you may want to ride it to attract other pals with the same skill.

Level 1 Yakumos are well balanced in terms of base stats, boasting 85 HP, attack, and defense and 110 support; while far from the strongest stats in the game, this is a good (albeit not overwhelming) balance for a mid game pal, especially one that can be ridden.

Yakumo can be found during both the daytime and the nighttime, with many appearing throughout Sakurajima, especially in the Cherry Blossom Forest; moreover, an Alpha Level 40 Yakumo can be found within the Cherry Blossom Caves in Sakurajima. Regular Yakumo often spawn in groups, making it easy to be fussy when capturing a Yakumo with a good passive ability; however, too many pals spawning into the game at once could potentially lead to lag, so you may want to consider running your game on a private Palworld server for betting uptime and a lag-free gaming experience.

In terms of work suitability, Yakumo has Gathering Level 2, which is worth keeping in mind; it’s also rideable with a Yakumo saddle. The species knows several active skills, including Power Shot at Level 1, and further skills including Bog Blast, Stone Blast, Power Bomb, Air Blade, Holy Burst, and Pal Burst.

How to Capture a Yakumo in Palworld

As we’ve already mentioned, Yakumo primarily spawns in the Sakurajima region, with Cherry Blossom Forests offering the main source of these pals. As such, if you’re looking to capture one, you may want to head there to help you find a good one!

Luckily, Yakumos aren’t the toughest enemies out there, so capturing one is pretty easy once you’ve gotten its health down; however, we recommend being picky with your choice of Yakumo in terms of its passive abilities, as the wrong Yakumo can potentially cause many other pals to spawn with a passive trait that doesn’t work for your build.

Other Ways to Get a Yakumo in Palworld

Capturing Yakumos is the main way to get them in the game, since they’re relatively common to find in the world - particularly in Cherry Blossom environments - and are easy to fight and capture. With that being said, however, Yakumos can also be obtained in two other ways.

First of all, you can hatch Yakumos in Palworld from common eggs, although bear in mind that the chances of getting a Yakumo are pretty low, since there are 17 different species that can hatch from a common egg. Fortunately, there are numerous combos that can result in a Yakumo, including:

-Whalaska Ignis X Cremis -Turtacle Terra X Tarantriss -Finsider Ignis X Omascul -Jellroy X Cinnamoth -Whalaska X Mau Cryst -Gorirat Terra X Caprity Noct -Univolt X Ribbuny Botan

Given this, if you’re looking to hatch a Yakumo rather than catching a wild one, there are plenty of combinations that could result in one. Yakumos can also be widely used in breeding, such as by pairing a Frostplume and a Yakumo to potentially give Skillet offspring.

Alternatively, you can also trade for a Yakumo with other players. Since Yakumos are common pals, they don’t necessarily command a massive price tag, so trading for one with other players may be much easier than some higher-level or high-rarity pals.
