The easiest way to find Selyne in Palworld 1.0 is to search the World Tree biome, where it spawns commonly, then catch it quickly with high-tier spheres before it runs away.
Selyne is one of the few Pals that sticks around instead of vanishing, and in the 1.0 update you can walk right up to it in the field. The catch itself is the tricky part: it bolts the instant it notices you, and its capture resistance is steep. Get to the right patch of the World Tree biome, bring the gear to soften it fast, and the whole thing takes seconds.

Fastest route to Selyne in the 1.0 update
KEY!Head straight for the World Tree biome and hunt Selyne as a field spawn — it turns up commonly across that area. A lot of older guides still describe Selyne as a Sakurajima Meteorite Event Pal that only drops in from the sky at impact sites, and that route does still exist. But for a quick, repeatable catch in 1.0, the field search in the World Tree biome is the simpler path, since you can just go there instead of waiting on a random event.
Where Selyne shows up in the World Tree biome
| Thing to check | What |
|---|---|
| World Tree biome | Search the open field area, not a fixed meteor crater |
| Orange habitat range | Match the shaded zone on the map or Paldeck view |
| Selyne behavior | Expect it to run the moment it spots you |
| Catch difficulty | High resistance — keep spheres ready before you engage |
Inside the World Tree biome there’s a specific stretch where Selyne appears reliably, and it’s easy to read once you know what to look for. Pull up the map or Paldeck habitat view and you’ll see an orange habitat range — Selyne spawns all around that shaded zone, and it’s dense enough that if one runs, another is usually close by. If the daytime view is hard to read, checking at night makes the habitat markers stand out more clearly.
How to catch Selyne fast in Palworld
Once you’re standing in the right patch of the World Tree biome, the catch comes down to softening Selyne quickly and throwing before it can flee.
STEP 1/5
Reach the World Tree biome spot
Move into the shown area of the World Tree biome where Selyne spawns commonly.
STEP 2/5
Wear the ring and load spheres
Equip the capture ring and ready your high-tier spheres, since Selyne is hard to catch.
STEP 3/5
Weaken Selyne down to 1 HP
Send in a strong Pal to bring its health to a sliver without knocking it out.
STEP 4/5
Throw the sphere before it bolts
Selyne runs the instant it notices you, so throw quickly to lock in the catch.
STEP 5/5
Grab the nearby spawns too
With one caught, repeat on the other Selyne spawning around the same area.
Selyne flees the moment it sees you, so weaken it to 1 HP and throw your sphere in the same breath — hesitating even a second usually means chasing it across the biome.

Gear to bring before you go hunting
| Item or prep | Use |
|---|---|
| Capture ring | Equip it before engaging to improve your odds |
| High-tier spheres | Ultra, Legendary, or Ultimate Spheres for a level-50+ catch |
| Strong Pal or team | Bring Selyne’s HP to 1 and hold off nearby high-level Pals |
| Backup spheres | Carry spares — Selyne can break free of several throws |
Selyne sits at a high level, and so do the Pals sharing its territory, so this isn’t a trip for starter kit. You’ll want the capture ring on, a strong Pal or team to whittle Selyne down without over-damaging it, and a stack of the best spheres you own. Treat the catch as something you may repeat a few times — Selyne resists capture even at low HP, so carry backups.
The older Sakurajima Meteorite Event route
Before the field-spawn approach, the documented way to get Selyne was through Meteorite Events on Sakurajima. These fire off at random, like base raids, with no fixed timer or coordinates. When a meteor marker appears, you rush to the impact site, clear out the Syndicate soldiers so their gunfire doesn’t finish Selyne off, then weaken and capture it there. Enemies around the crater sit at level 50–55, and you can mine Meteorite Fragments at the site for late-game gear like Selyne’s saddle.
Only meteorites on Sakurajima can spawn Selyne — events anywhere else won’t. Some Steam players speed this up by reloading backup save data to reroll a Supply Drop into a Meteorite Event while parked on Sakurajima, though that shortcut may be patched or unreliable in 1.0. It’s a solid alternate route if you’re already farming meteorites, but the World Tree field search is the more direct pick when your only goal is catching Selyne.
Mistakes that cost you the catch
The biggest time-sink is chasing the wrong method — hunting meteorites in the wrong region, or waiting on a random event when you could just head to the World Tree biome and search the field. If you do run the meteorite route, remember there are no fixed spawn coordinates until an event triggers.
The other misses happen at the catch itself. Arriving with mid-game spheres against a high-level target means Selyne breaks free again and again, so bring top-tier gear. Over-damaging it is just as costly — push its HP too low and you risk knocking it out instead of catching it. And once Selyne clocks you, any hesitation lets it run. Finally, don’t assume Saya’s tower boss version is a catchable Selyne; that fight isn’t the acquisition method.
What Selyne is good for once it’s yours
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Paldeck No. | 113 |
| Element | Dark / Neutral |
| Tower link | Saya’s partner Pal |
| Partner Skill | Celestial Darkness (rideable flying mount) |
| Work suitability | Handiwork 4, Medicine Production 3, Transporting 3 |
| Drops | Cloth, Sapphire, Precious Claw |
Selyne earns its keep after the catch. It’s a Dark / Neutral Pal, Paldeck No. 113, and Saya’s partner Pal. Its Partner Skill, Celestial Darkness, lets you ride it as a flying mount while boosting your Neutral and Dark attacks, and it slots into base work through solid handiwork, medicine production, and transporting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Selyne spawn in Palworld 1.0?
It spawns commonly across the World Tree biome, all around the orange habitat range shown on the map and Paldeck view. It also appears at Meteorite Event impact sites on Sakurajima.
Can Selyne still appear from Meteorite Events?
Yes. Selyne still drops in at Meteorite Event impact sites on Sakurajima, and you capture it there after clearing the enemies around the crater. It’s just the slower, more random route compared to the World Tree field search.
Does Selyne spawn outside Sakurajima or the World Tree biome?
No. Selyne is one of the few Pals that doesn’t despawn, but it only turns up as a World Tree biome field spawn or from meteorite drops on Sakurajima. Meteorite Events in any other region won’t spawn it.
What spheres should I use to catch Selyne?
Use your highest-tier capture spheres — Ultra, Legendary, or Ultimate Spheres. Selyne’s capture resistance is high, so pack spares.
Can you catch Saya’s tower Selyne?
No. Selyne is Saya’s partner Pal in the tower fight, but that boss encounter isn’t a way to catch it. You get Selyne from the field or a meteorite spawn.

Can Selyne be bred?
Current data points to capture only — there’s no breeding combination for Selyne, so finding and catching it is the way to add it to your team.
