How to get Yakumo in Palworld

If cherry blossoms are your thing, then you’ll love the Sakurajima Summer update for Palworld, which brings beautiful sakura trees to Palpagos. This update brings plenty of new content to the game, like a new island, new technology, and more.

Of course, in addition there are new Pals for you to catch and add to your team included in the update. One of the new pocket monsters in the Paldeck is Yakumo, a very fancy dog-like Pal. If you’re on the hunt for Yakumo, you’re in luck, because we’re going to show you how to get them.

Where to find Yakumo in Palworld

The only place you can find a Yakumo will be on the new island of Sakurajima. Specifically, you can find this new Sakurajima Pal in the Dancing Sakura Shrine area.

If you have the Moonflower Tower Entrance Fast Travel point unlocked, use it to instantly get to the area where you’ll find Yakumos. You can also use the Secluded Cemetery Fast Travel point, but you will need to travel slightly southeast from there.

You can find the area that spawns Yakumos marked on the map below.

How to catch Yakumo in Sakurajima Update

Like all other Pals, Yakumo can be caught by bringing its health down and then throwing a Pal Sphere at it. Once you find the Yakumo you want to catch, begin combat and bring its health as close to zero as you can without killing it.

Since Yakumo is a Neutral-type Pal, it will be weak to Dark-types. Bring a strong combat Dark-type Pal with you to battle Yakumo. I recommend a Necromus or Shadowbeak for the best combat abilities, but since Yakumo isn’t particularly strong when it comes to battle, any Dark-type will work.

As soon as their health is low enough, toss a Pal Sphere to catch them successfully. 

You can also hatch Yakumo from a Common Egg using an Egg Incubator. However, since it’s not guaranteed the egg will hatch a Yakumo, this method does take a bit longer.

Yakumo Type, Work Suitability, and Base Stats

Yakumo, as mentioned above, is a Neutral-type Pal. They are weak to Dark-types. Unfortunately, Neutral-type Pals aren’t strong against any other type. Yakumo is, however, a level two when it comes to the Gathering work suitability, so they are still good to have around your base. 

Yakumo has a base HP of 85, a base Attack of 85, and a base Defense of 85. They aren’t a particularly strong Pal when it comes to combat, so they’re best kept around bases for gathering work and overall just looking cool.
