How to breed Sootseer in Palworld

There are 247 parent pairs that hatch Sootseer in Palworld 1.0, all of them ordinary maths, no special recipe: Sootseer sits at breeding power 980, so any two parents whose powers average out to that number hatch Sootseer. 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 Sootseer + Xenogard; the calculator above already has Sootseer selected if you want to filter by a parent you own.

How the maths gets to Sootseer

Every Pal has a hidden breeding power; Sootseer sits at 980. 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 980 (or nearer to 980 than to any other Pal) gives Sootseer: that is why so many different pairs land on the same egg, and why the pairs above cluster around parents whose powers straddle 980.

Worked examples from the table: Sootseer (980) + Xenogard (990) → 985; Sootseer (980) + Venusa (970) → 975. 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.

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