How to Breed Knocklem in Palworld 1.0
Knocklem is one of the most sought-after base Pals in Palworld 1.0. As a Ground-element Pal with top-tier work suitability, it excels at mining and transport — making it a cornerstone of any efficient base. This guide walks through every parent combination that produces Knocklem, the easiest pairs to aim for, and which passive skills to target.
Why Breed Knocklem?
Knocklem (Paldeck No. 159) is a Ground-type Pal with combiRank 260. In the 1.0 breeding system, it is produced via power-average breeding — meaning any two parents whose average combiRank rounds to 260 will produce it. There are 19 valid parent pairs in total, giving you plenty of flexibility depending on which Pals you already own.
For base work, Knocklem is widely considered one of the best mining and transport Pals in the game. If you're building an endgame ore farm or automated base, Knocklem should be on your shortlist.
Parent Combinations
The easiest way to see every pair is the Knocklem detail page, or search "Knocklem" on the combinations browser and switch to "As Child". Here are some of the most accessible pairs:
| Parent A | Parent B | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Solenne | Lyleen | Both mid-tier, reliable |
| Pierdon Cryst | Dandilord | Dandilord is a newer Pal |
| Selyne | Neptilius | Good if you have Selyne |
| Starryon Primo | Hartalis | Alternative combo |
| Whalaska Ignis | Frostallion | Requires Frostallion |
Step 1: Plan Your Path
If you don't have any of the parents above, don't worry. Use the path finder to calculate the shortest breeding chain from the Pals you already own. Enter your current Pals, set Knocklem as the target, and the tool will show you each intermediate step along with the total cake cost.
Step 2: Breed for Passives
For a base-work Knocklem, the most valuable passives are:
- Artisan — +50% work speed, the single best work passive
- Serious — +20% work speed, stacks with Artisan
- Lucky — +15% work speed and attack
- Work Slave — +30% work speed at the cost of attack
To estimate your odds of inheriting a specific passive combination, use the Passive Inheritance Calculator (experimental). Breeding parents that already carry your target passives dramatically improves your odds.
Knocklem vs Knocklem Ignis
Knocklem Ignis is a Fire-element variant that can only be obtained through special breeding combinations — not regular power-average breeding. It has a different element and work suitability profile. If you specifically want the Fire variant, check the Knocklem Ignis page for its unique parent pairs.
