How to breed Hoocrates in Palworld

There are 30 parent pairs that hatch Hoocrates in Palworld 1.0, all of them ordinary maths, no special recipe: Hoocrates sits at breeding power 2,940, so any two parents whose powers average out to that number hatch Hoocrates. 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 Gumoss + Pupperai; the calculator above already has Hoocrates selected if you want to filter by a parent you own.

How the maths gets to Hoocrates

Every Pal has a hidden breeding power; Hoocrates sits at 2,940. 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 2,940 (or nearer to 2,940 than to any other Pal) gives Hoocrates: that is why so many different pairs land on the same egg, and why the pairs above cluster around parents whose powers straddle 2,940.

Worked examples from the table: Gumoss (2,950) + Pupperai (2,930) → 2,940; Hoocrates (2,940) + Pupperai (2,930) → 2,935. 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.

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