Capturing Pals in Palworld provides players with numerous advantages in both combat and handling everyday tasks within their base. Each Pal possesses unique traits and aptitudes for specific tasks, making them a varied group of creatures capable of influencing your approach to the game.

Before catching a Pal, you need to create a Pal Sphere. To craft this, you should have it unlocked under the technology tab and have enough resources to be able to craft it.

A Pal Sphere can be crafted by using 1 Paldium Fragment, 5x Wood, and 5x Stone. Pal Sphere's are craftable in a Workbench.

You can also find Pal Spheres lying on the ground.

Check your capture chance:

Check your capture chance by holding Q or Right Bumper while holding the Pal Sphere. Aim at the Pal to see the percentage chance of a successful catch.

Higher percentages increase your chances, but there's always a possibility of failure, except at 100%. Even with a 1 percent chance, you might still succeed.
