How to breed Katress in Palworld

There are 196 parent pairs that hatch Katress in Palworld 1.0, all of them ordinary maths, no special recipe: Katress sits at breeding power 2,040, so any two parents whose powers average out to that number hatch Katress. 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 Woolipop Terra + Katress; the calculator above already has Katress selected if you want to filter by a parent you own.

How the maths gets to Katress

Every Pal has a hidden breeding power; Katress sits at 2,040. 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 2,040 (or nearer to 2,040 than to any other Pal) gives Katress: that is why so many different pairs land on the same egg, and why the pairs above cluster around parents whose powers straddle 2,040.

Worked examples from the table: Woolipop Terra (2,030) + Katress (2,040) → 2,035; Woolipop Terra (2,030) + Robinquill Terra (2,050) → 2,040. 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.

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