How to Breed Shadowbeak in Palworld
Work Suitability
Best passives for Shadowbeak
Picked from Shadowbeak’s own element (Dark), stats (120 Atk / 140 Def) and 1 work suitability. Each badge says whether you can actually breed it on — that is the part most passive lists leave out.
Shadowbeak can only be bred from Shadowbeak + Shadowbeak. That is its only recipe in 1.0, so no passive can be routed in from another Pal — Shadowbeak can only gain passives that roll randomly, plus the ones it is born with. Anything marked Impossible in 1.0 below is locked out for this reason.
Attack +30% Defense +5%
Biggest flat attack boost (+30%) that can still roll randomly. Rolls randomly at weight 5 — possible on any parents, but ~20× rarer than a weight-100 passive.
Attack +20%
The realistic attack pick — 20× more likely to roll than Demon God. Rolls randomly at weight 100 — the realistic one to breed for.
Work Speed +75%
Shadowbeak has 1 work suitability — work speed is its base value. Rolls randomly at weight 5 — possible on any parents, but ~20× rarer than a weight-100 passive.
Work Speed +50%
The realistic work pick — 20× more likely to roll than Remarkable Craftsmanship. Rolls randomly at weight 100 — the realistic one to breed for.
30% increase to movement speed.
If you ride this Pal, move speed is the passive you feel most. Rolls randomly at weight 5 — possible on any parents, but ~20× rarer than a weight-100 passive.
20% increase to movement speed.
20× more likely to roll than Swift — the practical mount pick. Rolls randomly at weight 100 — the realistic one to breed for.
Defense +20% Immune to Flinch
Defense 140 ≥ Attack 120 — Shadowbeak plays as a wall. Rolls randomly at weight 100 — the realistic one to breed for.
30% increase in Dark attack damage.
Shadowbeak is a Dark Pal, so this boosts its own attack damage. Shadowbeak can only be bred from Shadowbeak + Shadowbeak, and Lord of the Underworld never rolls randomly — so it can never be bred onto Shadowbeak. Catch one that already has it, or use it on a different Pal.
Attack +20% Defense +20% Movement Speed increases 20%
Attack 120 puts Shadowbeak in combat range; Legend stacks Attack, Defense and move speed. Shadowbeak can only be bred from Shadowbeak + Shadowbeak, and Legend never rolls randomly — so it can never be bred onto Shadowbeak. Catch one that already has it, or use it on a different Pal.
How to read this: passive ranks, effects, roll weights and inheritance rules are PalCalc-verified 1.0 data. Which of them is “best” for Shadowbeak is our recommendation derived from that data — not an official Pocketpair list.

Mutated eggs from Shadowbeak (2 reports)
Player reports, not game data — the mutation table has never been datamined. Counts are what matter: a pair seen several times with the same result is a pattern, a single sighting isn’t. See all mutation reports for what’s confirmed and what’s still contested.
Same pair, multiple different species — the strongest counter-example to the deterministic theory. Normal cakes.
