Lucky Buddies are the larger variations of the typical Pals that you will occasionally encounter in World Pal. Since Palworld currently does not have Pals with alternate coloring, Lucky Pals are mainly the shiny variants for this game.
In addition to being quite large, each Lucky Pal has the Lucky Passive Trait. Whether you’re planning your team or building a new base, this trait can be very useful in Palworld.
Below you will learn how to get Lucky Pals in Palworld, with everything you need to know about the lucky passive trait and if you can breed Lucky Pals.

How to get lucky friends at Palworld
Lucky Pals appear randomly in the wilds of Palworld. You’ll know when you’ve encountered a Lucky Pal by the sound effect of the bell and the sparkles surrounding said Pal. Lucky Pals are also larger than the usual Pals you’ll encounter and have a sparkly icon next to their name.
If you are looking for a specific Lucky Pal, it is a good idea to visit a place where this species of Pal breeds in large numbers. The more friends you have, the more likely you are to meet a Lucky Pal. (Or you’ll randomly encounter one with a paddle, like I found the Lucky Lamball below.)
Prepare for a real fight when you find a Lucky Pal, as they are more powerful than the original variants. We recommend bringing Giga Spheres and a fast weapon, so you can deal damage quickly. Ideally, you’ll also want to bring a strong buddy against the Lucky Pal type, so an Electric type if you’re fighting a Water type buddy for example. Don’t forget to return said pal to his sphere once the Lucky Pal’s health is low enough to avoid knocking him out! We have a Palworld Type Chart if you want to brush up on your type’s strengths and weaknesses.
You’ll also earn Ancient Civilization Coins by capturing or defeating a Lucky Pal, which can be used to create useful items like incubators. Any Lucky Pals you catch will have a little sparkly icon next to them in your party and in Pal Box.
Lucky Trait in Palworld Explained: Can You Breed Lucky Pals?
Yes! You can breed Lucky Pals in Palworld and the reason you might want to do so is the Lucky Passive trait.
Outside of breeding, this special passive trait can only be found on Lucky Pals. Since it increases both a buddy’s attack and work speed stats, this trait is useful in combat and on your base.
I hope you meet some Lucky Pals soon! If you’re looking for more Palworld knowledge, check out our guides on how to breed Anubis, the best base locations, and how to farm honey.
