How do you get Mercy Hit in Palworld?

Mercy Hit is rolled onto a Pal rather than guaranteed. The surgery table can replace it, and breeding a new egg re-rolls the child's passives.

Can Mercy Hit be bred onto another Pal?

Yes. Once a parent carries Mercy Hit, the child can inherit it — passives are drawn from the pool both parents carry, so pairing two carriers raises the odds.

How to get Mercy Hit

No Pal spawns with Mercy Hit. That rules out the usual advice — you can’t start a breeding chain from a Pal that already has it, because there isn’t one. Here is where it actually comes from.

Getting rid of it
Mercy Hit is a drawback, and no Pal is guaranteed to spawn with it — it gets rolled on. The surgery table can replace it, and re-breeding gives you a fresh roll of passives on the child.
Why it keeps coming back
Passives are re-rolled per egg, so a parent carrying it doesn’t doom the whole line — but it can be inherited, which is why breeders cull for it early.

How to pass Mercy Hit down

In Palworld, a child can inherit passive skills from either parent. To put Mercy Hit on a target Pal, breed it from a parent that carries Mercy Hit, then keep breeding the offspring toward your target species while retaining the passive. Use the breeding calculator to find the parent combos.
