Similar to Active and Passive skills in Palworld, there is a third type of skill called Partner Skills. Partner Skills in Palworld are exclusive to a species, and every Pal you capture of that type will always have that skill.
If you are interested in learning the Partner Skills for your Pals in Palworld, then you have come to the right place. I will be discussing all of these skills, along with some overpowered ones that can help you a lot in overcoming those survival challenges, especially if you are new to the game.
How do Partner skills work in Palworld
Every Pal that you encounter will have some sort of Partner Skill, and these will be either combat-oriented, base-oriented, or mount-oriented. Each of these abilities will play a role in maximizing your Pal’s efficiency as a battler, means of transportation, or as a worker in Palworld.
However, not every Partner skill is available as soon as you capture a Pal. For some partner skills in Palworld, you will need to use the technology points to unlock key items, such as saddles, rocket launchers, machine guns, etc. Then, you can use the Pal Gear Workbench to craft these items, which will end up unlocking that Pal’s partner skill.
There are a total of 60 Pals that offer you Partner Skills in Palworld. These skills in Palworld can be unlocked once you craft the required gear for each of these Pals, and this way, you will be able to benefit from their Partner skills during your fights and also make use of some of these Pals by assigning them to different ranches at your Base.

How to learn Partner Skills in Palworld
Once you capture a Pal successfully in Palworld, you can check its Partner Skills, which will be locked and will require a key item. In order to learn this skill, you will need to head over to the Technology section and unlock the Pal Gear Bench. After that, you can gather your resources to craft those key items, i.e., Saddles, Rocket Launcher, etc.
This way, you can use these items on your Pals, and after designating a key to your Partner Skills, you can use this ability to deliver a decent amount of damage on your enemies in Palworld.
Keep in mind these types of abilities are quite essential, especially in combat scenarios, because they give you access to much more Firepower than you’d otherwise have. Apart from that Pals make for an excellent mount source and allow you to cover larger distances with relative ease as well in Palworld.
Best Early Game Partner Skills in Palworld
There are a ton of Partner Skills when it comes to using different Pals in Palworld, but there are some noteworthy Overpowered early-game Partner Skills that you should definitely know about too. These will include skills such as
Zephyr Glider (Lv.1)
This Partner Skill can be used once you catch a Celaray and craft the Celaray Gloves at the Pal Gear Workbench in Palworld. Once crafted, this ability allows you to use the Celaray as a glider, so you don’t have to craft one. It costs you little stamina to use this Pal while gliding as well.
Tip: If you are playing in normal mode and fall while not using the Zephyr Glider, you will lose your gear when you die. However, you will be able to use this glider to get back to your drop stuff.
Hard Head (Lv.1)
This Partner Skill allows you to not only mount your Rushoar once you have crafted the saddle for it but it will also grant you the ability to destroy rock by charging quickly towards them in Palworld. This way it will save you a lot of time mining stone for crafting other items.
Moreover, you will be able to negate fall damage while riding the Rushoar, and it will make traveling a lot easier for you to experience as well.
Pengullet Cannon
It is one of the best Partner Skills, especially for beginners, as it will allow you to load your Pengullet Pal into the Pengullet Rocket Launcher.
You can then shoot it at your enemies, causing massive area damage, and the best part about this Partner skill is that this specific damage will get higher as your Pengullet levels up. This factor alone makes it one of the best defenses against raids early on during your playthrough in Palworld.
Huggy Fire (Lv.1)
This is an excellent choice if you are considering a DPS Partner Skill in Palworld. This ability can be used once you craft the fox bark harness, and it allows you to pick up the pal in your arms and use it as a flame thrower.
This way, the damage you deliver will stack up insanely well, especially against enemy bosses, and also inflict a burn debuff for even more damage per second. Lastly, you can get this ability early on after reaching Level 6 in Palworld, and it will prove effective in taking down harder enemies, making your fights easier.
Lifmunk Recoil (Lv.1)
In order to use this overpowered Partner Skill ability, you will need to craft the Lifmunk’s Submachine Gun first in Palworld. This can be done at your Pal Gear Workbench, and after acquiring it, you can put Lifmunk on your head, and it will fire its gun insanely fast whenever you are attacking something. You can hit targets at a rapid rate, deliver a ton of Burst damage, and take them out with relative ease in Palworld
