No Pattern Yet for Random Legend
Currently, there is no known pattern yet for randomly obtaining the Legend Passive for non-legendary Pals.
This means it is exclusive to the fixed Legendary Pals themselves and children inheriting the Passive Skill from them.
Steps for Passing Legend to a Pal
| Legend Inheritance Steps |
|---|
|
① Catch and prepare a Legendary Pal
② Breed the Legendary Pal Ⓐ with any Parent to make Legendary Pal Ⓑ ③ Breed Legendary Pal Ⓑ with another Parent to make Legendary Pal Ⓒ |
Example for a Legendary Grizzbolt
| ① |
Parent Ⓐ:
Paladius
(Legend)Parent Ⓑ:
 Foxparks
┗ Child Ⓐ:
 Rayhound
|
|---|---|
| ② |
Child Ⓐ (as Parent):
Rayhound
(Legend)Parent Ⓒ:
 Mossanda
┗ Child Ⓑ:
 Grizzbolt
(Legend) |
The Passive Skill Legend will be inherited by the child based on probability. Please remember that this does not mean that the skill inheritance is 100% guaranteed.
How are Passive Skills Inherited?
Randomly Inherit 0-4 Passives from Parent
Each Pal has four (4) Passive Skill slots that can be occupied.
Currently, it is confirmed that up to four (4) Passive Skills can be inherited by the child Pal from the passive skills pool of the (2) two parent Pals.
You Can Also Inherit All Passives
It has been confirmed that it is possible to inherit all four (4) Passive Skills from a parent. Therefore, there is a total of 0/8 chance to inherit from two (2) parent Pals with 4 Passive Skills each.
Random Passives Occupy Empty Slots
If there are three (3) or less passive skills inherited from a parent, the remaining empty slots have a probability of being assigned a random Passive Skill.
Higher Chance to Inherit Passives from the Male Parent
| Passive Source | Passive Inheritance Percentage |
|---|---|
| From Male Parent | 24% |
| From Female Parent | 20% |
| Random from Both | 21% |
| No Passives Inherited | 34% |
The numbers above are from our own testing after hatching 100 eggs from the same parent.
After hatching around 100 Pals from eggs, our team determined that passives are more likely to be passed from the Male parent. When aiming for that specific passive, make sure to get it from the male parent to have increased odds.
Unfortunately, the odds that the offspring won't inherit any passive skill is still the highest.
Both Parents Having the Passive is Not a Guaranteed Inheritance
If both parents have the same passive that you want to pass on to the offsprings, it still does not guarantee passive inheritance. After hatching 100 Pals, our team found out that the passive skill is only passed on 46% of the time with a 33% chance that no passives will be inherited.
