An approximate estimate: the developers don't publish the exact catch formula, and the pal's level affects the chance too. Bosses and high-level pals are harder than shown.

Frequently asked questions

How do you catch a Pal in Palworld?

Weaken the Pal in battle to lower its HP, apply a status if you can (sleep, paralysis, burn) and throw a Pal Sphere from behind. The lower the HP and the better the sphere, the higher the catch chance.

What increases catch chance?

Low target HP, a higher-tier sphere, an active status effect, a back-strike throw and capture-power bonuses from base research.

Which sphere is best for catching?

The higher the sphere tier (Pal Sphere → Mega → Giga → Hyper → Ultra → Legendary), the higher the capture multiplier. Use better spheres for strong, high-level Pals.
