Welcome in, Pal Tamers!
Admittedly, the Water Type of Palworld did not get a lot of love from Pocket Pair when they were designing these Pals. Some of these Pals are super strong and great to have - meta, even - but a lot of these Pals are overwhelmingly mediocre in a fight. With that being said, as with all the other Tiers, there are some that well and truly shine.
As a whole, the Water Type category is made up of Pals you want on your base more than in a fight. However, that’s not the case for the powerful Jormuntide and Suzaku Aqua, who both hold their own and then some.
Combat Tier List Criteria
As with our Best Pals for Combat Tier List, these Pals will be listed without consideration to the benefits of crossbreeding. You can make anything in Palworld overpowered with breeding.
Additionally, we reserve the SS Tier for Legendary Pals. You will notice that there is no SS Tier for this list – that’s because there are no Water Legendary Pals. Yet. If furture releases give us a Water Legendary Pal, this list will be updated accordingly!
There aren’t too many Water Type Pals in the game at the moment, and many of them are sorely undertuned. Due to this, we have provided a Pal to highlight in our C Tier for this tier list.
Suzaku Aqua
Jormuntide
Relaxaurus
Broncherry Aqua
It’s important to point out Kelpsea’s mediocrity here because newer Tamers may see that it has good synergy with Water Pals, which is technically true. There are a few things to keep in mind with that, though. One, this is the only time that Kelpsea’s ability is useful. Secondly, you should stay away from running a team that’s only one element unless you have Pals likeSweepa, which becomes one of the best Pals in the game when paired withSweesspecifically. Kelpsea is not one of those Pals and does not contribute to any other specific Pal in that way, so it is best to stay away from it.
All other Water Pals will fall in here. The differences between them are so minimal that they are not worth mentioning. That said, you may still use some of the other Water Pals in your party as you progress through the game. The best Pal party is diverse, so if you don’t have any of the Water Pals in our tier list, you may want to add a C Tier Pal to your party situationally.
