How to breed Rayhound Cryst in Palworld

There are 256 parent pairs that hatch Rayhound Cryst in Palworld 1.0, 2 of them special recipes and the rest ordinary maths: Rayhound Cryst sits at breeding power 1,600, so any two parents whose powers average out to that number hatch Rayhound 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 Rayhound Cryst + Skutlass Ignis; the calculator above already has Rayhound Cryst selected if you want to filter by a parent you own.

How the maths gets to Rayhound Cryst

Every Pal has a hidden breeding power; Rayhound Cryst sits at 1,600. 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 1,600 (or nearer to 1,600 than to any other Pal) gives Rayhound Cryst: that is why so many different pairs land on the same egg, and why the pairs above cluster around parents whose powers straddle 1,600.

Worked examples from the table: Rayhound Cryst (1,600) + Skutlass Ignis (1,590) → 1,595; Smokie Cryst (1,610) + Skutlass Ignis (1,590) → 1,600. 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.

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