There are over 120 Pal Partner Skills in Palworld, offering advantages from healing to combat boots. While many of these skills unlock immediately after you capture the Pal associated with it, others have requirements before you can start using them.

Make sure you don’t confuse Partner Skills with Active Skills. Partner Skills are species-specific and can’t be changed. Active Skills, however, are the abilities that your Pals use in combat and can be changed. Active Skills can be changed by leveling up your Pals or by feeding them Skill Fruit.

How to unlock and Pal Partner skills in Palworld

As mentioned before, some Pal Partner skills may not unlock immediately after you catch a Pal. In this case, you might have to meet a prerequisite to unlock it. 

For mounts, you need to craft saddles. You can unlock those recipes from the Technology tab in the pause menu. Some Partner Skills might have higher level requirements as well. While most Pal Partner Skills in Palworld activate on their own, some require you to press F to activate.
