How to breed Elgrove Cryst in Palworld

There are 102 parent pairs that hatch Elgrove Cryst in Palworld 1.0, 2 of them special recipes and the rest ordinary maths: Elgrove Cryst sits at breeding power 440, so any two parents whose powers average out to that number hatch Elgrove Cryst. All of them are read straight from the 1.0 game files, not copied from an Early Access spreadsheet, and the table below sorts them by how easy the parents are to get. The most reachable is Faleris Aqua + Elgrove Cryst; the calculator above already has Elgrove Cryst selected if you want to filter by a parent you own.

Special recipes first (they win over the maths every time), then ordinary pairs sorted so the ones with the commonest parents come first. Hover a name for its stat card; click it for that Pal's own breeding page.

How the maths gets to Elgrove Cryst

Every Pal has a hidden breeding power; Elgrove Cryst sits at 440. When two parents breed, the game adds their two numbers, halves the total rounding up, and hatches whichever Pal is nearest that result. So any pair whose numbers average out to 440 (or nearer to 440 than to any other Pal) gives Elgrove Cryst: that is why so many different pairs land on the same egg, and why the pairs above cluster around parents whose powers straddle 440.

Worked examples from the table: Faleris Aqua (450) + Elgrove Cryst (440) → 445; Starryon Primo (430) + Elgrove Cryst (440) → 435. When two Pals sit at exactly the same distance from the average, a fixed priority order decides, which is why a few pairs that look like they should tie do not.

Elgrove Cryst + Elgrove Cryst always hatches Elgrove Cryst: breeding two of the same species is how you farm passives once you have a pair.
