How to breed Shadowbeak
Shadowbeak is obtained through the normal CombiRank formula in Palworld 1.0. The game averages the two parents' CombiRank values and picks the formula-pool Pal closest to that average. The pair list below, calculated live from the 1.0 dataset, shows every parent pair that gives Shadowbeak — pick the pair whose parents you already own.
Open the pair list below and filter it by a Pal you own. That is the fastest route to Shadowbeak: a pair where you already have one parent, rather than a pair that needs two new catches. Breed that pair with Cake in the farm chest, then hatch the egg in an incubator.
Why players breed Shadowbeak
Players breed Shadowbeak because it is a Epic Pal with a useful role once hatched, and because breeding is often faster than hunting for it in the wild at the right level. Its pair list is long, so the limiting factor is usually your collection, not the number of possible pairs.
After it hatches, the work is not over. Breed again from the same pair, or from two of the same species, to improve passives. Keep the offspring with the passive combination you want, and use that keeper as the next parent. Species first, passives second, stats third — that order saves Cake.
What changed in 1.0 for Shadowbeak
Palworld 1.0 rewrote the breeding table, so any pair list dated before July 2026 may be wrong for this Pal. The pair list on this page is calculated from the 1.0 dataset used by the calculator, not copied from an old guide. If a pair you remember from before 1.0 is missing from the list, that pair no longer gives this Pal in 1.0.

Breeding tips specific to Shadowbeak
Catch your first Shadowbeak, then breed Shadowbeak + Shadowbeak for passives. There is no cross-breed route in 1.0 data, so do not spend Cakes trying pairs that list Shadowbeak as a formula result. For combat, prioritise attack passives; Gathering is a secondary benefit, not the reason to breed it.
Can I breed Shadowbeak from other Pals?
No, not in Palworld 1.0 data. Shadowbeak is breed-true only: catch one first, then breed Shadowbeak + Shadowbeak.
Frequently asked questions
Can I breed Shadowbeak from two common Pals?
Only if the pair list below shows such a pair. For breed-true Pals the answer is no — you need a catch first. For formula Pals, use the pair list and pick a pair you can actually make.
How many parent pairs give Shadowbeak?
The live pair list below shows the count for this Pal in 1.0 data. Filter it by a Pal you own to find your shortest route.
Do I need Cake to breed Shadowbeak?
Yes. One Cake in the Breeding Farm chest produces one egg, whatever the Pal.
