Elgrove is a Grass-type Pal from Palworld 1.0 found on one of the new overworld islands — not the World Tree — where several level 26 Elgrove spawn and can be caught by weakening them with Fire and throwing your strongest Sphere.
Elgrove arrived with the Palworld 1.0 update on July 10, 2026, one of 73 new Pals in the full release. It lives out in the open on a fresh 1.0 island rather than any special dungeon, and because a whole cluster of them roams the same spot, you can farm attempts instead of chasing a lone spawn. The catch itself follows normal Palworld rules — no special currency, no premium unlock.
Where to find Elgrove and what to pack
| Detail | Answer |
|---|---|
| Location | A new 1.0 overworld island (not the World Tree) |
| Element | Grass |
| Level seen | 26 |
| Weak to | Fire |
| Catch tools | Capture ring + your strongest Sphere |
| World Tree? | No — that’s Elgrove Cryst, the Ice variant |
The reliable lead is a new 1.0 island sitting out in the overworld. Elgrove patrols an open stretch of that island, and there are plenty of them there — you’re not hunting a single elusive spawn. Exact map coordinates aren’t nailed down yet, so treat this as an island to explore rather than a single pin, but once you’re on it the Pals are easy to spot at level 26.
Since Elgrove is Grass-type, a Fire Pal is what you want in your party to burn its health down quickly. Bring your capture ring and the strongest Spheres you own before you go.
Catching Elgrove on the new island
Before you head out, make sure you’re carrying the basics for a clean capture.
How to find and catch Elgrove in Palworld 1.0
Elgrove sits out in the open on a new 1.0 island, so the whole job is reaching that island, whittling one down, and throwing at the right moment.
STEP 1/5
Fly to the new 1.0 island
Head for one of the fresh islands added in the 1.0 update — it’s out in the overworld, not the World Tree.
STEP 2/5
Move to the spawn area
Go to the open stretch where Elgrove roams and patrols; the island holds several of them, so a single spawn isn’t your only shot.
STEP 3/5
Ready your ring and strongest Sphere
Equip the capture ring and bring the best Sphere you have so a weakened Elgrove sticks on the throw.
STEP 4/5
Find a level 26 Elgrove
The Elgrove here appear at level 26, and plenty of them are scattered across the island.
STEP 5/5
Drop its HP to one, then throw
Bring its health down as low as one, throw your Sphere, and the catch lands.

Weakening Elgrove for a clean capture
The capture loop is standard Palworld, and Elgrove’s Grass typing does most of the work for you: lead with Fire damage and its health drops fast. The goal is to get it as low as possible — ideally down to 1 HP — without knocking it out, then let your Sphere finish the job. A Ring of Mercy-style setup helps here, since it lets you leave the Pal hanging at a sliver of health so your throw connects cleanly.
KEY!Because there are so many Elgrove on the island, missed throws aren’t a big deal — reset and try the next one. Keep your strongest Spheres stocked so a weakened target isn’t wasted on a low-tier sphere. There’s no unlock cost or special item gating this; anyone who reaches the island can catch it.
Open with a Fire Pal and drop Elgrove to 1 HP before throwing — its Grass typing means Fire shreds it, and a near-dead target catches far more reliably.
What Elgrove does once it’s yours
| Trait | Value |
|---|---|
| Element | Grass |
| Partner Skill | Mother Nature’s Menace — converts your attacks to Grass, raises Attack |
| Weakness | Fire |
| Planting | Lv.3 |
| Lumbering | Lv.3 |
| Transporting | Lv.3 |
| Gathering | Lv.2 |
| Mining | Lv.2 |
Elgrove earns its spot as a base-work Pal and a Grass-flavored combat partner. Its Partner Skill, Mother Nature’s Menace, converts your own attacks to Grass and bumps up your Attack while it’s active — handy when you’re leaning into Grass damage. Around the base, it pulls real weight across five job types, so it’s more than a niche catch.
Elgrove versus Elgrove Cryst
This is where a lot of players get turned around. Regular Elgrove is the Grass version, and you hunt it on the main overworld — specifically the new 1.0 island above. Elgrove Cryst is a separate Ice-type variant, and it’s the one tied to World Tree discussion.
So if you’re after the Grass Elgrove, stay on the open map and skip the World Tree entirely. If you find yourself in the World Tree seeing something that looks like Elgrove, you’re almost certainly looking at Elgrove Cryst, which has its own partner skill and work stats. They even sit next to each other in the Paldeck, which is part of why the names get mixed up.
Hatching Elgrove from eggs
If overworld spawns feel inconsistent, Elgrove can also come from eggs and breeding. It’s a solid fallback when you don’t want to comb the island. Just note that the exact optimal pairings are still shaking out and differ between community charts, so it’s worth checking a current recipe before you commit two Pals to the pen rather than trusting an early guess.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Elgrove spawn in the World Tree?
No. Regular Elgrove spawns out on the overworld — including the new 1.0 island — not the World Tree. The World Tree is associated with Elgrove Cryst, its Ice-type variant.
What level is Elgrove when found on the island?
The Elgrove on the new 1.0 island appear at level 26, and there are several of them in the same area.
What element is Elgrove weak to?
Elgrove is Grass-type, so it’s weak to Fire. A Fire Pal is the fastest way to drop its health before you throw a Sphere.
Can you get Elgrove from eggs or breeding?
Yes. Elgrove can be hatched from eggs produced by breeding, which is a good backup if overworld spawns aren’t cooperating. Specific pairings still vary between resources, so confirm a current recipe first.
Is Elgrove the same as Elgrove Cryst?
No. Elgrove is the Grass version found on the main map, while Elgrove Cryst is a separate Ice-type variant with its own skills and work stats.
