List of All 47 Water Type Pals and Where to Find Them

Water is the second-biggest element in Palworld and the only one the game punishes twice. Forty-seven Pals carry it, beaten only by Dark's seventy — but Water is the single element on the chart with two weaknesses instead of one. This is every Water Pal with its attack, HP, defence and spawn count, plus what Water beats and loses to, the best fighters and mounts, all 8 Water alpha markers, the Damp breeding combos, and how to farm Water Radiant Gems.

All 47 Water Type Pals

Forty-seven of the game's 288 Pals wear Water, and most of them are dual-element: 17 are pure Water against 30 that pair it with something else. The second element matters a lot here, because two of them make things worse — Electric and Grass both counter Water, and eleven Pals on this list carry one of those as their own second type. Dark, Ice and Dragon are the most common partners at five each, Fire and Electric at four, and Grass is the rarest at just two, which is the one piece of luck the element gets. The bottom half of the table is where Water gets its reputation: a long tail of rarity 1–3 starter Pals like Fuack, Teafant and Kelpsea that you will meet in the first hour and never build around.

201	Neptilius	Water	145	105	125	No wild spawns
203	Panthalus	Water	120	180	200	No wild spawns

Four of the forty-seven never appear as a normal wild spawn — Jormuntide, Ophydia, Neptilius and Panthalus — and three of those are alpha fights you can walk up to. Panthalus is the odd one out: it has no wild pins and no alpha marker, so it is the one Water Pal you cannot simply go and find. Everything else is on the map somewhere, and there is a lot of it — 32,163 Water spawn points across 43 Pals, second only to Dark's 35,003.

Water Type Strengths and Weaknesses

Here is the thing nobody tells you when you build a Water team. On the Palworld type chart every element is countered by exactly one other element — except Water, which is countered by two. Electric and Grass both hit Water for bonus damage, and between them that is 71 Pals that punish you, against the 43 Fire Pals that Water punishes back. No other element in the game runs that deficit. The upside is that Fire is a real target rather than a token one, and the two tower bosses and several late-game raid phases lean Fire, so the bonus does come up where it counts.

Read that table as a deployment rule rather than a stat. Water is the element you send at anything on fire and pull out the moment you see green or yellow — and because eleven Water Pals are themselves part Electric or Grass, check the second type before you commit. Pengullet Lux, Penking Lux and Solmora Lux all take super-effective damage from their own second element's counter and from Water's, which is the worst dual-typing arrangement in the game. If you want the safe pairings, Jormuntide and Shaolong pair Water with Dragon, and Dragon only fears Ice.

Best Water Pals for Combat

Water does something no other mid-table element manages: it puts 2 Pals in the 14 S-tier slots on our Palworld tier list and 3 more in A, despite averaging 7th of nine elements in attack, HP and defence. That gap is the whole story of the element. The averages are dragged into the floor by twenty-five D-tier starters, while the top five are among the strongest Pals in the game outright. There is no gentle middle — you either have one of these or you have a fish.

Pal	Tier	Class	Attack	HP	Defence	Why Bring It
Shaolong	S	Shot	135	140	120	The best Water Pal in the game and it is not close — 135 shot attack, 140 HP and 120 defence in one body, plus the exclusive Celestial Vortex at 700 power. It also carries Watering Lv 8, so it never stops earning its slot.
Panthalus	S	Shot	120	180	200	200 defence, tied for the highest in Palworld, on top of 180 HP. It owns the two biggest Water hits in the game, Aqua Tornado at 800 and Grand Breach at 700, and it is the only Water Pal with no Watering rating at all.
Jormuntide	A	Melee	150	130	100	150 melee attack — the hardest-hitting Water Pal there is. Its natural Lord of the Sea passive adds another 30% to Water damage, which no other Pal in the element rolls. Defence is only 100, so it trades.
Neptilius	A	Shot	145	105	125	145 shot attack behind 125 defence, and the exclusive Thalassonic Laser at 700 power. It rolls Lunker naturally, which stacks +20% Water damage, +20% Ice damage and +20% defence on one line.
Ophydia	A	Shot	115	130	120	The tankiest Water Pal you can farm — 130 HP and 120 defence off a Lv 69 alpha. Planting Lv 7 makes it the rare fighter that also runs a farm plot.
Ghangler Ignis	B	Shot	130	90	105	130 shot attack and 105 defence at rarity 6, and it turns up 810 times on the map. This is the mid-game Water damage dealer that does not need a boss kill.
Faleris Aqua	B	Shot	110	110	115	110 shot attack, 115 defence, 110 HP — the most even stat line in the element. Its Tidal Predator partner skill also raises the Fire-type drops you collect while it is out.
Whalaska	B	Shot	115	105	110	115 shot attack and 110 defence, plus Cooling Lv 6 — the best refrigeration rating any Water Pal has. A Lv 55 alpha, so it slots in right when you need it.

If you are levelling exactly one, make it Shaolong. It is the only Pal in the game with Watering Lv 8, it is the third-fastest mount in Palworld, and 135 shot attack behind 140 HP means it fights without a babysitter — one Pal covering combat, travel and your entire water supply. Panthalus is the better raw statline and the better wall at 200 defence, but it has no Watering at all and no wild spawn, so it is a reward rather than a plan. Jormuntide is the pick if you want damage now: 150 melee attack plus its natural Lord of the Sea passive is roughly 195 effective attack on Water moves, the highest number the element produces.

The Strongest Water Attack Skills

29 attack skills carry the Water element, the fewest of any element except Dragon's 23 — but the ceiling is high. Panthalus's Aqua Tornado hits for 800 power, tied with Grass and Dark for the biggest elemental strike in the game behind only Neutral's 1200-power Megaton Implode. The catch is a 40-second cooldown, which drops its sustained output below three 700-power moves that recharge in 30. Power only compares inside a class, so read the melee rows against melee and the shot rows against shot.

Geyser Gush is the practical answer. At 600 power it sits one rung below the exclusives, 36 Pals learn it naturally, and Water Skill Fruit: Geyser Gush bolts it onto anything with a spare slot — that is the highest-power move any element hands out this freely. If your Pal fights at range instead, Water Skill Fruit: Hydro Laser at 450 power and 22.5 DPS beats the bigger 500-power shots on actual damage over time, because a 20-second cooldown fires more often than a 24-second one. The four 700-and-800 hits are locked to three Pals between them, so treat them as a reason to chase those Pals rather than a build option. The full list lives on our list of Water Skill Fruits.

Best Water Mounts

This is Water's strongest claim on the game. Eight of the nine swimming mounts in Palworld are Water Pals — the element effectively owns the sea, with only Azurobe Cryst crossing over from Ice — and it also holds two of the three fastest mounts of any kind. Panthalus at 3,000 and Shaolong at 2,800 rank #2 and #3 of all 115 rideable Pals, behind only Jetragon. Ten Water Pals take a saddle in total, spread across flying, swimming and ground rides.

Pal	Rank	Mount Type	Sprint	Stamina	Saddle Tech Lv.	Partner Skill
Panthalus	#2	Flying	3,000	100	No saddle	Resonant Guardian
Shaolong	#3	Flying	2,800	100	Lv. 77	Azure Sovereign
Neptilius	#6	Swimming	2,000	410	Lv. 64	Sentinel of the Great Sea
Jormuntide	#11	Swimming	1,800	150	Lv. 40	Stormbringer Sea Dragon
Ophydia	#14	Ground	1,500	100	Lv. 72	Glorious Mist
Surfent	#15	Swimming	1,440	100	Lv. 16	Swift Swimmer
Faleris Aqua	#17	Flying	1,400	230	Lv. 60	Tidal Predator
Ghangler	#18	Swimming	1,350	320	Lv. 31	Master of Darkness
Solmora	#24	Swimming	1,300	220	Lv. 65	Charming Fish
Suzaku Aqua	#52	Flying	1,100	350	Lv. 44	Wings of Water

Panthalus is the strangest ride in the game and worth understanding: it has no saddle to unlock at all. You call it with the Echoing Flute, built at a Primitive Workbench once you have all four Echobones, and its walk, run and sprint values are all 3,000 — it cruises at top speed without ever burning stamina. For anything you can reach earlier, Surfent's saddle unlocks at Tech Lv 16, by far the cheapest sea mount in the game, and 1,440 swim sprint at that point in a run makes the water stop being a wall. Neptilius is the endgame swim pick at 2,000 sprint and a huge 410 stamina, and its Sentinel of the Great Sea skill adds up to another 25% swim speed on top. At the bottom, Polapup is dead last of all 115 mounts at 375 sprint — skip it. Full numbers are on our Palworld mount speed rankings.

Watering Is a Water-Only Job

Here is the fact that makes this element mandatory no matter how you play: no Pal outside the Water element has a Watering rating at all, and 46 of the 47 Water Pals do. Every berry plantation, every wheat plot, every cooling loop in your base runs on a Pal from this list — there is no substitute and no workaround. Panthalus is the single exception, the only Water Pal in the game with zero Watering. The ladder tops out at Lv 8, and exactly one Pal reaches it.

Pal	Watering	All Jobs	Size	Rarity
Shaolong	Lv. 8	Watering 8, Gathering 5	XL	9
Jormuntide	Lv. 7	Watering 7	XL	8
Neptilius	Lv. 7	Watering 7	XL	20
Suzaku Aqua	Lv. 6	Watering 6	XL	9
Faleris Aqua	Lv. 6	Watering 6, Transporting 5	L	9
Ophydia	Lv. 5	Planting 7, Watering 5	L	9
Whalaska	Lv. 5	Cooling 6, Watering 5	XL	8
Ghangler Ignis	Lv. 5	Kindling 5, Watering 5, Transporting 2	M	6
Broncherry Aqua	Lv. 5	Watering 5	XL	8
Ghangler	Lv. 5	Watering 5, Transporting 2	M	5

Shaolong is the ceiling and also the best all-rounder, but it is XL and rarity 9, so most bases will not see one for a long time. The realistic target is Jormuntide at Watering Lv 7 off a Lv 55 alpha, or Faleris Aqua at Lv 6, which is only size L and adds Transporting Lv 5 so it hauls its own output. Ophydia is the specialist worth a slot even at Watering Lv 5, because Planting Lv 7 alongside it means one Pal seeds and waters the same plot. Whalaska pairs Watering Lv 5 with Cooling Lv 6 for a refrigeration-plus-irrigation base. If you are short a rating rather than a Pal, the Applied Watering Handbook I permanently raises a Pal's Watering affinity by +1. Our best Pals for Watering ranking goes deeper on station counts.

Where to Find Water Pals

Water spawns follow the coastline and the wetlands, which sounds obvious until you look at how tightly some of them cluster. Waterlily Gorge is the single densest Water location in the game — four different Water Pals put their largest spawn share there, including Solmora Lux at 64.8% and Gloopie Primo at 61.9%. Celaray is the most common Water Pal on the map at 1,734 pins, but it is scattered — only 9.0% of it sits in its top region, so you will find one by accident rather than on purpose.

Pal	Main Area	Share	Pins	Map
Celaray	Grassy Behemoth Hills	9.0%	1,734	Open map
Turtacle Terra	Thirst's End	8.2%	1,554	Open map
Finsider	Sand Dunes Entrance	9.7%	1,358	Open map
Croajiro	Rayne Syndicate Tower Entrance	10.0%	1,350	Open map
Croajiro Noct	Scarlet Outlook	15.3%	1,290	Open map
Fuack	Small Cove	9.5%	1,156	Open map
Gloopie	Crimson Cliffs	11.3%	1,018	Open map
Jelliette	Grassy Behemoth Hills	8.3%	990	Open map
Solmora Lux	Waterlily Gorge	64.8%	518	Open map
Dumud	Anubis Dunes	20.1%	744	Open map

Plan around the concentration column, not the pin count. Skutlass Ignis puts 100% of its 68 pins on Flamepulse Islet and Suzaku Aqua is 52% at the Azure Covenant Tower Entrance, so those are single trips rather than searches. Croajiro Noct at 15.3% in Scarlet Outlook is the opposite kind of target — 1,290 pins spread wide enough that any walk through the right biome turns one up. Every row deep-links our Palworld interactive map with that Pal's layer already switched on, so you get the exact view rather than the whole island.

All 8 Water Alpha Markers

Water has only 8 alpha markers, one of the smaller counts in the game — Ground carries 20 by comparison. What it lacks in number it makes up in gatekeeping: three of these eight are the only way to own the Pal at all, since Jormuntide, Ophydia and Neptilius have no wild spawns anywhere. The level spread is unusually wide too, from a Lv 14 fight you can clear in your first evening to a Lv 69 wall.

Alpha	Level	Elements	Attack	Defence	Location
Ophydia	Lv. 69	Grass / Water	115	120	Alpha location
Faleris Aqua	Lv. 66	Water	110	115	Alpha location
Neptilius	Lv. 60	Water	145	125	Alpha location
Whalaska	Lv. 55	Ice / Water	115	110	Alpha location
Jormuntide	Lv. 55	Dragon / Water	150	100	Alpha location
Azurobe	Lv. 40	Water / Dragon	100	100	Alpha location
Penking	Lv. 15	Water / Ice	95	95	Alpha location
Dumud	Lv. 14	Ground / Water	100	95	Alpha location

Dumud at Lv 14 and Penking at Lv 15 are the two you can take almost immediately, and Penking is genuinely useful early — Watering Lv 2 and a glide partner skill from a fight most players win by level 20. The Lv 55 pair is the real checkpoint: Jormuntide and Whalaska on the same evening gets you Watering Lv 7 and Cooling Lv 6 in one trip. Save Ophydia at Lv 69 for last; it is the highest-level Water alpha and it hits for 115 behind 120 defence. Bring Electric or Grass Pals to all eight of these and the fights get considerably shorter — see our alpha Pal hunting route for the full order.

Damp Eggs and Breeding

Eggs are colour-coded by element, so a Damp Egg always hatches something off this list. The bad news is at the top end: the Huge Damp Egg pool is only only four Pals deep, beaten for thinness only by the single-Pal Electric and Ominous pools, and just one of those four — Faleris Aqua — will ever come out of a wild nest, at 2.31% in World Tree grade 1. Treat Huge Damp Eggs as a curiosity. Where Water actually rewards breeding is variants: 17 exclusive combos produce a Water Pal, joint-fourth most of any element, and they are the only way to get most of the game's Lux, Ignis and Primo forms.

Parent A	Parent B	Child	Child Element
Elphidran	Surfent	Elphidran Aqua	Dragon / Water
Broncherry	Fuack	Broncherry Aqua	Grass / Water
Suzaku	Jormuntide	Suzaku Aqua	Water
Faleris	Jormuntide	Faleris Aqua	Water
Turtacle	Digtoise	Turtacle Terra	Water / Ground
Croajiro	Bushi Noct	Croajiro Noct	Water / Dark
Ghangler	Sootseer	Ghangler Ignis	Fire / Water
Dumud	Eikthyrdeer Terra	Dumud Gild	Ground / Water
Solmora	Slowatt	Solmora Lux	Water / Electric
Pengullet	Sparkit	Pengullet Lux	Water / Electric
Penking	Rayhound	Penking Lux	Water / Electric
Celaray	Univolt	Celaray Lux	Water / Electric
Fuack	Flambelle	Fuack Ignis	Water / Fire
Finsider	Gobfin Ignis	Finsider Ignis	Water / Fire
Skutlass	Gobfin Ignis	Skutlass Ignis	Water / Fire
Gloopie	Valentail	Gloopie Primo	Water / Neutral
Killamari	Ribbuny	Killamari Primo	Neutral / Water

Every pairing above is an exclusive combo, meaning it overrides the normal breeding maths and produces that child and nothing else. Two are worth going out of your way for: Jormuntide is the shared parent for both Suzaku Aqua and Faleris Aqua, so one alpha kill at Lv 55 unlocks two rarity 9 Pals you would otherwise have to hunt. Gobfin Ignis is the other repeat parent, feeding both Finsider Ignis and Skutlass Ignis. Note that every Water variant on this list also breeds true — pair two of the same variant and you get another one — which is how you farm passives once you own a single copy. Run the numbers on our Palworld breeding calculator.

How to Farm Water Radiant Gems

Water Radiant Gem is what awakening a Water Pal costs, and the price is steep: 50 gems plus 10 World Tree Holy Water make one Water Awakening Crystal. Only three Pals drop the gem in useful quantity — 10 to 20 per kill at a guaranteed rate — and the rest hand over 1 to 3, which is not a farm. The three that matter are all rarity 7 or higher, so this is a late-game loop by design.

Pal	Gems per Kill	Rate	Spawn Pins	Best Area	Map
Azurobe	10–20	100%	422	Sealed Realm of the Swift · 18.1%	Open map
Faleris Aqua	10–20	100%	394	Silent Lake · 30.7%	Open map
Suzaku Aqua	10–20	100%	100	Azure Covenant Tower Entrance · 52.0%	Open map
Skutlass Ignis	1–3	50% (100% as alpha)	68	Flamepulse Islet · 100%	Open map
Univolt Cryst	1–3	100% as alpha	138	—	Open map
Beakon Cryst	1–3	50% (100% as alpha)	138	—	Open map
Rayhound Cryst	1–3	50% (100% as alpha)	290	—	Open map

Azurobe is the farm. 422 pins is the largest wild pool of any 10–20 gem dropper, it is only rarity 7, and it spawns as a normal Pal rather than an alpha, so you can clear it on repeat. Faleris Aqua at 394 pins is the close second and the better route if you are already in Silent Lake, where 30.7% of it sits. Suzaku Aqua has the tightest cluster at 52% around the Azure Covenant Tower Entrance but only 100 pins total, so it empties fast. Everything in the 1–3 band is a rounding error — you would need roughly twenty kills to match one Azurobe. Bring Electric or Grass Pals and pack Water Skill Fruit: Hydro Slicer on nothing, because Water moves resist Water targets. Our Radiant Gem farming guide covers the other eight colours.

Gear and Passives That Boost Water Damage

Three of Water's accessories go on the Pal fighting beside you and raise the Water damage it deals; one goes on you and cuts the Water damage you take. Every single one of them wants 30 Aquatic Pal Fluids, which is the real gate here — you farm those off the same Water Pals you are trying to buff, so start collecting before you need them.

Item	Slot	Effect	Materials
Lord of the Sea's Baton	Pal accessory	Raises the Pal's attack and significantly boosts its Water damage	Refined Ingot ×20, Horn ×30, Aquatic Pal Fluids ×30, Ancient Civilization Core ×5
Neptilius's Talisman	Pal accessory	Raises the Pal's defence and significantly boosts its Water damage	Refined Ingot ×20, Carbon Fiber ×15, Aquatic Pal Fluids ×30, Ancient Civilization Parts ×10
Faleris Aqua Ring	Pal accessory	Greatly cuts the Fire damage your Pal takes and boosts its Water damage	Refined Ingot ×20, Paldium Fragment ×30, Aquatic Pal Fluids ×30, Ancient Civilization Parts ×5
Water Support Whistle	Pal accessory	A smaller Water damage bonus, unlocked earlier	Ingot ×20, Horn ×20, Aquatic Pal Fluids ×30, Ancient Civilization Parts ×2
Ring of Water Resistance	Player accessory	Cuts the Water damage you take by 30%	Ingot ×20, Bone ×20, Aquatic Pal Fluids ×30, Paldium Fragment ×30

Lord of the Sea's Baton is the one to build if you are running a Water attacker, since it stacks a flat attack bonus on top of the +20% element bonus in a single slot. Faleris Aqua Ring is the sharper choice for a specific job: the same Water damage boost plus heavy Fire resistance, which is exactly the fight you take a Water Pal into. On the passive side, Lord of the Sea gives +30% Water damage and only Jormuntide rolls it naturally, while Lunker on Neptilius stacks +20% Water, +20% Ice and +20% defence on one line — those two Pals start ahead of the rest of the element before you equip anything. Hydromaniac at +10% is the common version worth breeding onto anything else. The full list is on our Palworld passive skills database.

Summary

Forty-seven Pals carry Water, second only to Dark, and the element is a study in extremes: 7th of nine in average attack, HP and defence, yet holding two of the game's fourteen S-tier slots, the only Watering ratings in existence, eight of nine sea mounts, and the #2 and #3 fastest rides overall. It also carries the only double weakness on the type chart. Shaolong is the best single pick — S-tier combat, Watering Lv 8, mount rank #3 in one Pal. Jormuntide is the best you can realistically farm at Lv 55, Surfent is the earliest sea mount at Tech Lv 16, and Azurobe is the Radiant Gem route. Skip the twenty-five D-tier starters entirely.
