Growing food at your base inPalworldis one of the best ways to ensure you and your Pals stay fed, especially in the early game. As you continue to level up and upgrade your base, your crops will grow, and it’s important to know which are the best Pals to have around for growing those crops.
There are three base tasks associated with gardening in Palworld: Planting, Watering, and Gathering. Here we will discuss the best Pals you can have at your base for early, middle, and late game for Planting seeds to grow berries, wheat, tomatoes, and lettuce.
Updated on August 03, 2025, by Mohamed El Ouardighi:With the release of the Feybreak update, multiple pals have been added, so we naturally had to update this guide to help you choose the best pals for planting.
