How to breed Penking in Palworld

There are 190 parent pairs that hatch Penking in Palworld 1.0, all of them ordinary maths, no special recipe: Penking sits at breeding power 2,070, so any two parents whose powers average out to that number hatch Penking. 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 Mossanda + Penking; the calculator above already has Penking selected if you want to filter by a parent you own.

How the maths gets to Penking

Every Pal has a hidden breeding power; Penking sits at 2,070. 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 2,070 (or nearer to 2,070 than to any other Pal) gives Penking: that is why so many different pairs land on the same egg, and why the pairs above cluster around parents whose powers straddle 2,070.

Worked examples from the table: Mossanda (2,060) + Penking (2,070) → 2,065; Wixen (2,080) + Mossanda (2,060) → 2,070. 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.

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

What Penking breeds into

Penking as a parent, with a few common partners. The forward tab of the calculator does this for any pair.
