With so many creatures running around in Palworld, you will want to be able to get your hands on all of them. Some of these are the most useful ones around the camp, while others are pure beasts, always on the lookout for a fight.
Interestingly, you can find both capabilities in most of the Water-type Pals. But since there are so many Pals in this elemental type alone, it can become hard to choose one over the other. That said, to save you the trouble of finding and catching each Pal to test them, we’ve already scoured the Palpagos map and found the best Water pals in Palworld.
In this guide, we have ranked the water-type pals from worst to best in a sequence, taking into account the combat factor and base utility. Each of the pals below is either proficient in attacking, defense, or has excellent work utilities that make it worth the hassle to catch in the game.
10. Pengullet
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 70 | 75 | 70 |
Work Suitability: Watering Lv.1, Cooling Lv.1, Handiwork Lv.1, Transporting Lv.1
Pengullet is one of the early-game pals that you can acquire and use for your basic camp needs. Its level 1 work suitabilities will help you get through the initial structure-building procedures in your way, though it becomes irrelevant after you surpass level 10.
The partner skill of this pal, Pengullet Cannon, allows you to launch it as a missile and dish out decent damage as a result. This attack is so powerful that even some powerful bosses in your initial Palworld journey won’t stand a chance against it.
9. Fuack
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 60 | 80 | 60 |
Work Suitability: Watering Lv.1, Handiwork Lv.1, Transporting Lv.1
Residing in the northwest of Rayne Syndicate Tower, Fuack is one of the first pals you can find and catch in the Palpagos map. It comes equipped with interesting Active and Partner skills, making it suitable for handling bosses and other enemies of lower levels with ease. Its partner skill, Surfing Slam, lets you throw it as a projectile and do some damage to the opposing pal.
The work suitabilities offered by Fuack are enough for your basic structural and carrying needs. The Handiwork will do the building tasks while Transporting suitability will allow you to move minor objects from one point to another.
8. Celaray
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 80 | 70 | 80 |
Work Suitability: Transporting Lv.1, Watering Lv.1
If you are facing difficulties while traveling through valleys and large mountains, Celaray has got you covered. While in your team, it can be used as a glider, allowing you to mount it and cover as much distance as you want in Palworld. The partner skill, Zephyr Glider takes this utility to the next level, making your flying journey even faster.
In terms of combat, Celaray is an average pal that can take care of low-level fights. However, as the gameplay progresses, it won’t be suitable for battles and its transportation abilities will be the only thing to rely on.
7. Relaxaurus
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 110 | 100 | 70 |
Work Suitability: Watering Lv.2, Transporting Lv.2
One of the cutest pals in the game, Relaxaurus combines the abilities of Water and Dragon elements. It has one of the most useful combat-oriented partner skills, which allows you to fire a lethal missile while you are mounting the pal. These characteristics make Relaxaurus one of the best water pals for battle in Palworld.
This pal is also great at working for your base. Both of its work suitabilities are enough to help you in watering your crops as well as carrying your belongings from one place to another efficiently.
6. Surfent
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 90 | 90 | 80 |
Work Suitability: Watering Lv.2
If you are struggling to travel through water bodies of the Palpagos map, Surfent is your ultimate answer. Its partner skill, Swift Swimmer, allows you to mount it and move over water without any stamina depletion, meaning you won’t have to worry about running out of breath anytime soon.
Additionally, Surfent has decent shot damage as well as high HP, allowing it to survive even tougher fights in the game. The Watering work suitability of level 2 is another good thing in its arsenal, which can help you quench your watering needs to a great extent.
5. Penking
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 95 | 95 | 95 |
Work Suitability: Mining Lv.2, Cooling Lv.2, Handiwork Lv.2, Transporting Lv.2, Watering Lv.2
Penking is one of the early-game water types that accompanies you in difficult times and helps you progress through different levels. Although it consumes lots of food for working, the work suitabilities you get from this pal are worth it in every aspect.
Whether you want to mine resources such as ore for your base or need water for crops and other base structures, Penking has got you covered.
In terms of combat, it’s a well-balanced pal with abilities both from the Water and Ice types, making it effective against Fire, Ground, Rock, Flying, and Grass-type pals. You can take help from its versatile attack combos to survive the late-game stages of Palworld.
4. Broncherry Aqua
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 120 | 95 | 100 |
Work Suitability: Watering Lv.3
The resident of Shaol Mineshaft, Broncherry Aqua can be considered as a simple Broncherry with the added benefits of the Water type. Since these two elemental types work well together, the abilities that you can get with this Pal are outstanding.
Over Affectionate, the partner skill of Broncherry Aqua increases your carrying capacity by a significant amount. This comes in handy when you have to carry heavy objects or even move your base from one place to another in Palworld.
Though this one is slightly less proficient in combat than the likes of Suzaku Aqua, you wouldn’t find a more suitable pal to keep when you’re planning to farm resources for your camp.
3. Suzaku Aqua
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 125 | 105 | 105 |
Work Suitability: Watering Lv.3
Suzaku Aqua is a unique Water-type Pal that lets you ride it as a flying mount. Combined with the ability to dash out water damage with your attacks, you’re practically a storm cloud.
The flying Pal can also hold its own pretty well as well thanks to its high damage output and HP. As far as the stuff around the camp goes, the level 3 Watering Work Suitability also has a great hand in bringing the Pal into the top-tier water pals in Palworld.
2. Azurobe
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 110 | 100 | 100 |
Work Suitability: Watering Lv.3
For the same reasons as Jormuntide, Azurobe is equally worthy to be one of the best Water-type Pals in Palworld. Not only is it a perfect mount to take you across the massive water bodies of Palpagos Island, but it is also very fierce in combat owing to its massive power.
Apart from letting you mount the pal, Azurobe’s Partner skill increases your water damage while riding it, further adding to its combat prowess. Moreover, it also has a dragon elemental type along with the water one, providing it the abilities of both types as well. These combined characteristics make Azurobe one of the best water pals for fighting in Palworld.
The only thing that Azurobe lacks is a level 3 Watering Work Suitability, as opposed to level 4 in the case of the former. Despite that, Azurobe is still an equally worthy Pal to choose given its massive battle potential.
1. Jormuntide
| HP | Attack | Defense |
| 130 | 120 | 100 |
Work Suitability: Watering Lv.4
If we consider Jormuntide’s sheer power, that alone is enough to consider it among the best pals in the game overall, not just Water-type. It not only possesses water but also the dragon elemental type, providing it with the advantages of both.
These two elemental types work very well together since the combined Skills you can get are overpowered. You can even get a Tri-Lightning ability, which strikes enemies with lightning. This, coupled with other skills and abilities, makes Jormuntide one of the best water pals for combat in Palworld.
Jormuntide also has a level 4 Watering work suitability, which is the maximum level you can, and hence makes it a perfect pal for fulfilling your water needs.
Moreover, the Stormbringer Sea Dragon partner skill lets you mount the pal in water without losing any stamina.
With all of these advantages in a single Pal, Jormuntide is an absolute must-have if you want to make the later stages of the game easier for you.
