How to Get Your First Planting Pal in Palworld

Setting up farming operations in Palworld requires the right partner—specifically, a Planting Pal. If you’re just starting out and wondering which Pal to catch first for your berry farm and seed planting needs, this guide will walk you through the best options and exactly where to find them.

Why You Need a Planting Pal

To operate farming structures like berry farms in Palworld, you’ll need to assign a Pal with the planting ability. Without a Planting Pal, your farm won’t function, so catching one early is essential for progression.

Best First Planting Pals to Catch

Gumos: The Top Choice

Gumos is the recommended first Planting Pal to catch in Palworld. According to the Palpedia, Gumos has the planting ability and can actively plant seeds in your farm. This makes him an ideal early-game companion for establishing your farming operations.

You can find Gumos in the lower islands of the base map, particularly in the starting spawn region. They’re scattered throughout these early-access areas, making them accessible without extensive exploration.

Tan-Z: An Alternative Option

If you’re looking for another planting option early on, Tan-Z (Pal #8) is available as an alternative. Tan-Z can also handle seeding tasks, though Gumos is still the preferred choice for beginners.

Tan-Z can be found in a different habitat area from Gumos, giving you multiple locations to search depending on where you are on the map.

Summary

For your first Planting Pal in Palworld, prioritize catching either Gumos or Tan-Z. Gumos is the top recommendation due to its reliable planting ability and availability in the starting areas. Both Pals will allow you to establish a functional farm early in the game, setting you up for sustained progression. Focus on exploring the lower islands of the base map to locate these Pals quickly.
