#	Pal	Evaluation
1	Jormuntide Ignis	Combat:	Mount:	Worker:
		Jormuntide Ignis is the most powerful Pal in terms of combat. It has amazing coverage thanks to its Fire and Dragon typing, combined with access to Tri-Lightning for coverage against Water-types!
2	Jetragon	Combat:	Mount:	Worker:
		Jetragon is the best all-rounder Pal! Its Dragon typing is great for end-game because of the abundance of Dark types. It learns Fire Ball and Beam Comet, two AoE skills with huge power. Jetragon is also currently the fastest Pal in the game!
3	Frostallion	Combat:	Mount:	Worker:
		Second to Jetragon, it is the second fastest Flying Mount in-game. Its Partner Skill also infuses your attacks with with Ice Damage and boosts both yours and its own damage on top of it!
4	Shadowbeak	Combat:	Mount:	Worker:
		With its Modified DNA Partner Skill, Shadowbeak has the potential to be the Strongest Dark Pal in-game if built properly. It can also be easily bred from Kitsun and Astegon, making it easy to breed Passive Skills down.
5	Paladius	Combat:	Mount:	Worker:
		Paladius is one of the fastest Ground mount and is currently the only Pal that can perform a Triple Jump. It's also amazing in combat thanks to its Neutral and Ice Learnset, letting you deal with Dragons with relative ease.
6	Necromus	Combat:	Mount:	Worker:
		The more offensive counterpart to Paladius, Necromus ties with it with being one of the fastest Ground mounts in-game. Its learnset leans more on dealing a ton of damage with Fire and Dark coverage.
7	Bellanoir Libero	Combat:	Mount: -	Worker:
		Taking the spot from Astegon, Bellanoir Libero is a new premiere legendary Dark attacker thanks to its Siren of the Void Passive! This makes it a bit more reliable when it comes to dealing with Dragon-types by boosting damage by its Ice-Type attacks!
8	Anubis	Combat:	Mount: -	Worker:
		Thanks to its Pal Skill, it can easily dodge attacks and apply Ground Damage to your attacks. It is also super easy to obtain mid game if you breed Penking and Bushi.
9	Blazamut Ryu	Combat:	Mount:	Worker:
		Blazamut Ryu is one of the Pals that are great both in and off the battle field. As a combat Pal, it will have its Dragon damage boosted while mounted, while at the base, it can both smelt and mine for great Ingot production efficiency.
10	Lyleen Noct	Combat:	Mount: -	Worker:
		Lyleen Noct is the best Pal to use for Healing to help you turn the tides in combat. It can also handle pesky enemies thanks to its amazing coverage of Ice and Dark!
