Palworld New Pal Locations: 72 New Pals, 2 New Zones (2026)

Most Palworld new Pal locations content published since the game's July 9, 2026 exit from Early Access either recites the headline number (72 new Pals) without saying where any of them actually live, or tries to hand you exact coordinates for all 72 and quietly gets a third of them wrong. Neither is useful. The current sources show the additions distributed across Sunreach, the World Tree, existing regions, dungeons, and story encounters. Some have confirmed coordinates, while other individual pages expose only an encounter category or no static coordinate. This guide sorts the new roster into those buckets instead of pretending they're all the same. Our complete Palworld guide hub covers the wider 1.0 changes.

Updated 2026-10-05: Rechecked the 1.0 roster against Pocketpair's changelog and current Palworld Wiki encounter pages, including the World Tree guardian coordinates and Shaolong's Sunreach Tower fight.

TL;DR: Palworld 1.0 added 47 new Pal species and 25 variant forms (72 total, roster now 287). The additions span Sunreach, the World Tree, existing regions, dungeons, and story encounters. Confirmed coordinates include Quivern, Eidrolon, Jetragon's relocated Alpha, Dandilord at Rotmist Root, and Silvance at Shinespore Root. Shaolong has a fixed Tower encounter, while Renjishi and Aegidron have habitat labels without a coordinate in their page text, and Dualith is listed as Alpha, Overworld, and Breeding with a Huge Rocky Egg route.

Palworld new Pal locations? (quick answer)

Sunreach, the floating island chain that appeared above the Palpagos Islands, and the World Tree are two major 1.0 destinations, but they are not the only places to look. Current location references also point to existing regions, dungeons, and story encounters. A few pre-1.0 Pals, most notably Jetragon, relocated in the same patch. Exact coordinates exist for some entries, while other pages expose only an encounter category or no static coordinate.

Palworld new Pal locations: key takeaways

• Palworld 1.0 (July 9, 2026) added 47 new Pal species and 25 variant Pals, 72 total, taking the full roster from roughly 215 to 287.
• New Pals are not confined to two zones: Sunreach and the World Tree are major 1.0 areas, while current location references also place additions in existing regions, dungeons, and story encounters.
• Jetragon's Alpha encounter relocated from Mount Obsidian to Sunreach in the same patch, roughly (-553, -1332), and older guides pointing to Mount Obsidian are stale.
• Exact coordinates are confirmed for Quivern, Eidrolon, Jetragon, Dandilord, and Silvance. Shaolong has a fixed Tower encounter, while Renjishi and Aegidron have Alpha/Overworld habitat labels without a coordinate in their page text.
• Dualith's current page lists Alpha, Overworld, and Breeding sources plus a Huge Rocky Egg, but it does not expose a wild coordinate in the static page text.
• Random Pal Mode can change Pal spawn locations, so check the server's randomizer and seed before assuming a fixed coordinate is wrong.

What actually counts as a "new" Pal in Palworld 1.0

Pocketpair's own 1.0 patch documentation is specific about the number: 47 new Pal species, plus 25 variant Pals (recolors and element-swaps of existing species, the kind of thing Palworld already had plenty of before 1.0), for 72 total additions. That's the same figure our own Palworld best pals tier list uses when it flags Shaolong and Dandilord as the two confirmed new-to-1.0 Pals that debuted directly into S-tier, and it lines up with the roster jump this site has already documented from roughly 215 Pals pre-1.0 to 287 post-1.0.

Named new species from that list include Pupperai, Wispaw, Elgrove, Dualith, Sekhmet, Snock, Lapiron, Eidrolon, Renjishi, Aegidron, Shaolong, Silvance, Dandilord, Panthalus, and Astralym, among others. That's not the full 47, and this guide isn't going to pretend it has independently mapped every one of them. What it will do is tell you, honestly, which of these have a documented location and which don't yet.

Sunreach: the sky islands where most new Pals live

Sunreach is one of the most consequential new destinations for a "where do I find new Pals" question. Pocketpair's patch notes describe it plainly: a new set of islands appeared floating above the Palpagos Islands, holding new Pals, new Tower Boss fights, and ore types that require specialized equipment to mine. It is a major 1.0 hunting area, but current references also place new entries in existing regions and dungeons. For the resource route that pairs well with this trip, see our Palworld best mining base locations guide.

Three concrete examples worth knowing before you go looking:

1. Quivern (Dragon-type) has a general habitat spanning both the Astral Mountains and Sunreach, with its Alpha version confirmed at roughly (-256, -131) in the Deep Bamboo Thicket, and a second possible Alpha encounter at the end of the Astral Mountains Cavern dungeon.
2. Eidrolon (Dragon/Dark) has its Alpha confirmed at the Crystalline Archipelago, roughly (-489, -1521), with regular non-Alpha spawns available inside the Sunreach Skies dungeon specifically.
3. Jetragon, a pre-1.0 Pal, didn't just get new neighbors. Its Alpha encounter was relocated entirely, from Mount Obsidian to Sunreach, at approximately (-553, -1332). That's a real behavior change, not a new addition, and it's the single most common source of confusion in player reports right now.

That Jetragon relocation matters more than it might look. A r/Palworld thread titled "Unable to find Jetragon" from a player on a dedicated server, checking the "top left" of Sunreach Isle and the volcano area exactly where current guides point, found a completely different Pal (Sweepa) in Jetragon's spot instead. The current world settings documentation confirms that Random Pal Mode can alter Pal spawn locations, so check the server's randomizer and seed if a confirmed coordinate does not match your world.

The World Tree: the other new region, and the Pals tied to it

The World Tree is Palworld's other major 1.0 addition, and it functions differently from Sunreach. It's a story location, gated behind campaign progress, and it's where the Awakening mechanic unlocks, letting players gather Radiant Gems to reveal a Pal's hidden power potential. It isn't a zone you wander into early; you earn access to it.

Two new Pals are specifically tied to this region in their own data. Dandilord, a Grass/Dark nocturnal Pal, has a Partner Skill description that references "toxic gas in the World Tree area," and the current guardian mission places it in Rotmist Root at approximately (-1679, 1644). Silvance, a Grass-type Pal, has flavor text stating it "has remained within the World Tree, continuing its vigil," and the same mission places it in Shinespore Root at approximately (-1935, 1135). These are World Tree guardian encounters, not generic additions with no location clues.

Panthalus is a different case worth flagging so you don't waste time on it as a wild spawn. It is a story-tied boss encounter our Palworld review and Alpha boss guide already cover, and it isn't a field encounter at all: it is a level 70 boss fought inside a unique dungeon on the Deserted Islet, tied to the Main Mission "Panthalus," and it requires the Echoing Flute item to enter, with a 10-minute time limit once the fight starts. If you're hunting it like a wild Pal, stop, you need the mission and the item first.

Step-by-step: how to actually track down these Pals

1. Check your Paldeck first. Before flying to Sunreach blind, confirm which specific new Pals you're actually missing. There's no point re-checking Quivern's coordinates if you already caught one.
2. Go to Sunreach for its major 1.0 content. It has new Pals, Tower fights, and exclusive ores that need specialized mining gear, so a Sunreach trip pays off beyond the Pal hunt. Check existing regions and dungeon entries too, and use the Palworld fast travel guide to cut down the travel between clusters.
3. Push the campaign toward World Tree access if you're hunting Dandilord or Silvance. Both are tied to that region specifically in their own game data; you won't find them by exploring Sunreach instead.
4. Use the confirmed coordinates for a target. Quivern at Deep Bamboo Thicket (-256, -131), Eidrolon at Crystalline Archipelago (-489, -1521), Jetragon's relocated Alpha at roughly (-553, -1332), Dandilord at Rotmist Root (-1679, 1644), and Silvance at Shinespore Root (-1935, 1135) are documented encounter points. The last two are World Tree guardians rather than ordinary field spawns.
5. For Pals confirmed to a dungeon-end Alpha instead of an overworld spawn, run the dungeon. Lapiron has no overworld Alpha at all per the wiki, its only confirmed Alpha encounter is at the end of the Sunreach Skies dungeon, so a dungeon clear beats searching the open world for this one.
6. Use breeding as an alternative route for Dualith. Its current page lists Alpha, Overworld, and Breeding sources plus a Huge Rocky Egg, but no wild coordinate appears in the static page text. Our Palworld breeding and cake farming guide covers the breeding system.
7. If a coordinate doesn't match what you find, check your server's Pal spawn randomization setting and seed before assuming the source is wrong.

Confirmed locations for specific 1.0 Pals

This guide checked eleven named Pals against palworld.wiki.gg's individual entries and mission pages, rather than trusting a single aggregated "new Pals" list. Some pages expose a useful encounter category without printing a coordinate in their static text. Here's the breakdown, split honestly between what is mapped and what remains incomplete:

Confirmed with exact coordinates:

• Quivern (Dragon): Astral Mountains and Sunreach habitat; Alpha at Deep Bamboo Thicket, approximately (-256, -131).
• Eidrolon (Dragon/Dark): Alpha at Crystalline Archipelago, approximately (-489, -1521); regular spawns inside the Sunreach Skies dungeon.
• Jetragon (pre-1.0, relocated): Alpha now in Sunreach, approximately (-553, -1332), moved from Mount Obsidian.
• Dandilord (Grass/Dark, nocturnal): World Tree guardian at Rotmist Root, approximately (-1679, 1644).
• Silvance (Grass): World Tree guardian at Shinespore Root, approximately (-1935, 1135).

Confirmed to a dungeon-end Alpha encounter, no overworld coordinate documented:

• Lapiron (Ground): the wiki explicitly states there is no Alpha Lapiron as an overworld boss; its only confirmed Alpha encounter is at the end of the Sunreach Skies dungeon.

Confirmed encounter data, but no wild coordinate in the static page text:

• Shaolong (Dragon/Water, #192): flying-mount Partner Skill and confirmed S-tier per our tier list; the current source documents its Tower encounter with Auri at Azure Covenant Tower in Sunreach, approximately (-423, -1426), rather than a wild location.
• Renjishi (Fire): the current individual page lists Alpha, Overworld, and Breeding sources, but does not print a coordinate in its static text.
• Aegidron (Dragon/Ground): the current individual page likewise lists Alpha, Overworld, and Breeding sources, but does not print a coordinate in its static text.
• Astralym: confirmed unobtainable by players right now, not just unmapped. The wiki lists it as an elementless entity that appears only as a boss fight under an NPC named Zenara's command, so there's no wild habitat to document in the first place.

Alpha, Overworld, and Breeding sources listed, but no static coordinate:

• Dualith (Ground/Grass, #138, Dualith Noct variant is Ground/Dark): the current page lists Alpha, Overworld, and Breeding sources and a Huge Rocky Egg, but does not print a wild coordinate in its static text.

If a Pal you're looking for isn't on this list, that's not an oversight so much as a limit of what's independently verifiable right now. A tier list ranking all 72 with confident coordinates and encounter types for each one would be lying about a meaningful share of its entries. This guide would rather tell you eleven things it actually checked than seventy-two things it guessed at.

Why your coordinates might not match a video or guide

Three separate things can make a "confirmed" coordinate look wrong in your specific game, and it's worth ruling them out in order before assuming a source made a mistake.

First, randomized spawns. As covered above, Random Pal Mode can change Pal spawn locations based on its selected type and seed. If a coordinate is correct in one world and wrong in yours, check this setting before treating the source as wrong.

Second, patch-driven relocation. Jetragon is the clearest example: any pre-1.0 source pointing to Mount Obsidian is now describing a location that patch data confirms was changed. Palworld isn't a static map. If a Pal moved once, in one patch, it can be worth double-checking whether a source predates 1.0 before trusting its coordinate.

Third, and this is the least satisfying answer but the most honest one: some page data is still incomplete. Renjishi and Aegidron have Alpha/Overworld habitat labels but no coordinate in their static pages. Shaolong has a documented Tower encounter rather than a wild location, while Dandilord and Silvance are now mapped as World Tree guardians, so older claims that their locations are unpublished are stale. Astralym is a different case entirely: the wiki confirms it is a boss-only entity with no wild habitat to map. Treat any source claiming you can find Astralym in the wild as simply wrong.

Tips for hunting new Pals efficiently

• Prioritize Sunreach for its new region content, then use the World Tree missions when the campaign opens them. Existing regions, dungeons, and story encounters also contain 1.0 additions.
• Don't grind a specific coordinate for more than a few in-game days without a catch. If your server has randomized spawns on, no amount of persistence at a fixed point will fix that.
• For Lapiron specifically, run the Sunreach Skies dungeon rather than searching the open world, there's no overworld Alpha to find.
• Use breeding as an alternative route for Dualith. Its page lists a Huge Rocky Egg, while its Alpha/Overworld coordinate is not printed in the static text.
• Cross-reference a Pal's Partner Skill and mission data before assuming it has no location clues. Dandilord's World Tree tie and Rotmist Root coordinate are both documented outside a simple habitat summary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do new Pals spawn in Palworld 1.0? The 1.0 additions are spread across Sunreach, the World Tree, existing regions, dungeons, and story encounters. Sunreach and the World Tree are major new destinations, while Jetragon is a pre-1.0 Pal whose Alpha encounter moved to Sunreach.

How many new Pals did Palworld 1.0 add? 47 new Pal species plus 25 variant forms, 72 total, per Pocketpair's own patch documentation. That pushed the full roster from roughly 215 to 287 Pals in a single update.

What is Sunreach in Palworld? A set of islands that appeared floating above the Palpagos Islands in the 1.0 update. It holds new Pals, new Tower Boss fights, and ore types that need specialized mining equipment to harvest.

Is Jetragon still in the same spot after Palworld 1.0? No. Jetragon's Alpha encounter moved from Mount Obsidian to Sunreach in the 1.0 patch, roughly (-553, -1332) on the map. Older guides and videos pointing to Mount Obsidian are now out of date.

Why can't I find exact coordinates for some new Pals? The current sources mix several encounter types. Shaolong is documented as Auri's Tower partner at about (-423, -1426), while Renjishi and Aegidron have Alpha/Overworld habitat labels but no coordinate in their page text.

Can I breed new Pals instead of hunting them in the wild? For some, yes. Dualith's current page lists Alpha, Overworld, and Breeding sources and a Huge Rocky Egg, but its static page text does not expose a wild coordinate. Breeding is a confirmed alternative while the exact marker remains unresolved.

Does a random spawn server setting affect where new Pals appear? Random Pal Mode can change Pal spawn locations according to the current world settings documentation. If a fixed coordinate does not match, check whether the server uses a randomizer and its seed before treating the source as wrong.
