Valentail is a high-level Neutral Pal in Palworld 1.0 that you can find in the Northern Crystalline Archipelago or eastern areas, so bring Sol or Exotic Spheres and a Mercy tool before you approach it.
Palworld’s 1.0 update redrew the habitat map and dropped a wave of new species onto newly opened regions, and Valentail is one of the ones people keep sweeping the wrong regions for. It sits at Paldeck No. 162, right between Azurmane and Snock, and it is emphatically not an early-game catch. Get to the right area with the right spheres in your bag and it’s a five-minute job.

Where Valentail spawns and what to bring
| Detail | Answer |
|---|---|
| Paldeck number | No. 162 |
| Element | Neutral |
| Location | Northern Crystalline Archipelago or eastern areas |
| Level range | Around 63-65 |
| Recommended sphere | Exotic Sphere |
| Ancient Sphere | Save it for tougher targets |
| Mercy setup | Ring of Mercy equipped |
| World Tree spawn | No |
The habitat entry puts Valentail in the Northern Crystalline Archipelago and eastern areas, and that’s the patch worth circling on your map. It’s a Neutral Pal, so there’s no elemental counter to prep — the difficulty is purely its level, which is why the sphere tier in your quick bar matters more than your team composition here. Wider spawn data for 1.0 also points at scattered overworld and dungeon encounters, but those areas are the reliable, repeatable spots.
How to reach Valentail’s spawn and catch it in Palworld
The run is short once you’re airborne — the only thing that can waste it is showing up with the wrong spheres or knocking Valentail out by accident.
STEP 1/6
Stock high-tier spheres
Load up on Exotic Spheres.
STEP 2/6
Equip a Mercy tool
Wear the glasses or slot the Ring of Mercy so your damage doesn’t drop a Pal you’re trying to keep alive.
STEP 3/6
Head to the spawn region
Fly to the Northern Crystalline Archipelago or eastern areas, where Valentail’s habitat actually sits.
STEP 4/6
Sweep the spawn area
Work the Northern Crystalline Archipelago and eastern areas and watch the ground-level clearings rather than the cliff edges.
STEP 5/6
Throw the moment you see it
Valentail bolts as soon as you close in, so lead with an Exotic Sphere instead of opening with an attack.
STEP 6/6
Check the habitat entry
Open the Paldeck to Valentail and confirm the Northern Crystalline Archipelago or eastern habitat before you commit to another sweep.
Throw before you fight. Valentail’s catch rate is fine with a Sol or Exotic Sphere at full health, so an opening throw beats whittling it down and risking a knockout.

Picking the right sphere for a level 63 Pal
Everything about Valentail’s capture comes back to its level. At roughly 63-65, low- and mid-tier spheres bounce off far too often to be worth the trip, and each failed throw is another second for the Pal to sprint out of range. The Sol Sphere and Exotic Sphere both hold up at that tier, and they’re the sensible pick because you’ll have the materials to spam them.
An Ancient Sphere will also do the job if that’s what you’re carrying, though burning one on a Neutral Pal with no combat gimmick is a waste of a rarer resource. The Mercy tools matter for the same reason the sphere tier does — a stray hit from a late-game weapon at this point in the run will flatten Valentail before the throw ever leaves your hand, and the glasses or Ring of Mercy take that risk off the table entirely.
What Valentail gives you once it’s in your party
| Trait | Use |
|---|---|
| Big Stretch | Reduces gravity on the player while Valentail is in the party |
| Pal Gear | None required |
| Work suitability | Gathering Lv2 |
| Best role | Exploration and traversal, not base labor |
KEY!Valentail is a mobility Pal, not a base hire. Its Partner Skill, Big Stretch, is currently exclusive to it in 1.0 and turns your jumps and falls floaty by cutting the effect of gravity on your character — and unlike most Partner Skills, it needs no Pal Gear to activate. Just having Valentail in the party is enough. On the work side there’s very little here, so slot it for exploration runs and vertical map traversal and keep your real laborers on the base roster.
Hatching Valentail from an egg instead
If the area sweep isn’t cooperating, Valentail can come out of an Egg Incubator instead. It’s a breedable Pal, and there’s a documented set of roughly 12 parent pairs made up of wild-obtainable Pals that produce it at the Breeding Farm.
That said, the combination lists floating around come out of the game’s internal tables rather than an in-game recipe book, and Pocketpair adjusts breeding results between balance patches — so treat any specific pairing as a starting point to test rather than a guarantee. Catching one in the wild is still the faster route by a wide margin.
Mistakes that send players to the wrong region
The biggest one is trusting an old map. Spawn data from version 0.7.3 or earlier no longer applies after the 1.0 habitat rework, and any Random Pal Spawn Mode reference from that era will point you at empty ground. The same goes for tracker pages still showing zero known Valentail spawns — they simply haven’t caught up.
The other two are quicker to fix. The World Tree is the shiny new region everyone defaults to, and Valentail does not spawn there at all, so hunting it in that area is pure wasted flight time. And because it’s a small, harmless-looking Pal, players keep expecting to bump into it around their starter base — it lives in late-game territory, and you need endgame-grade spheres before the trip is worth making.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Valentail spawn in Palworld?
The Northern Crystalline Archipelago and eastern areas are where its habitat marker sits, and they’re the spots to farm if you want repeat encounters. Datamined 1.0 spawn tables also list around 33 spawn points spread across the main island, so you may run into one elsewhere, but nothing else concentrates them the way those areas do.
What level is Valentail?
Expect to meet it at roughly level 63-65, which puts it firmly in late-game territory alongside the other Sunreach residents. If your gear and Pal team are still in the 30s, come back later — you’ll spend more on wasted spheres than the catch is worth.
Which sphere should you use to catch Valentail?
A Sol Sphere is the efficient default, with the Exotic Sphere as the equally reliable alternative. Bring a stack of five or six either way, because a runner that escapes your first throw usually costs you a couple more before it settles.
Does Valentail spawn at the World Tree?
No. The World Tree has its own set of 1.0 additions, and Valentail is not among them no matter how long you circle the region.
Does Valentail need Pal Gear for Big Stretch?
No — Big Stretch is passive. There’s no saddle, no glider and no crafted item to unlock first, which makes Valentail one of the cheapest mobility boosts in the game once it’s caught.

Can you breed Valentail?
Yes, at a Breeding Farm. Cattiva + Venusa is one pairing on record that produces a Valentail egg, and it’s a convenient one given how early both parents are available.
