Palworld: All nocturnal Pals

In the dark of the night

Nocturnal Pals, as with creatures in real life, are those that come out after the sun has gone down and remain awake during the dark hours. Not every Pal appreciates the heat of the sun blazing upon their face, it turns out.

Unsurprisingly, 99% of the nocturnal Pals in Palworld are Dark types, so if you’re looking for Dark type Pokemon to take down some Neutral type Pals, or like me, you have a love for all black, here’s every nocturnal pal and where you can find them.

There’s always one, isn’t there? Hangyu Cryst, an Ice type Pal that can be found in the Astral Mountains, is the only Ice type Pal who roams around at night.

If you’re going looking for him, you’ll need to don some Cold Resistant Armor and take some secondary protection with you in one of the following forms:

  • Arsox
  • Hand-held Torch
  • Thermal Underwear

Let’s get the two oddball Neutral Pals out of the way now. Considering they are weak against Dark types, you’d think they would avoid any situation where they’re surrounded by them, but these Neutral Pals obviously like to live on the edge.

While some of these Pals have Alpha variants which can be found and fought at any time of day, you’re only going to find them in the wild at night. Most of these spawn around the forest Biome, so they’re relatively low-level and easy to capture early into the game.
