Attribution
Thank you to the community contributors of the official Palworld Wiki on wiki.gg. A large portion of this site’s older text — Pal and item descriptions, guides, and mechanic articles — is adapted from that wiki, which publishes page content under CC BY-SA 4.0 unless otherwise noted.
Adaptations for ThePalWiki typically include converting MediaWiki wikitext to Markdown, rewriting links to local pages, fixing scrape artifacts, and occasional editorial corrections. Where a guide has a known upstream page, the article footer links back to that wiki.gg source.
This wiki redistributes adapted wiki text under the same CC BY-SA 4.0 license.
Game data, images, and PalMap
The following is a plain-language summary of how this site uses Palworld materials. It is not legal advice.
Ownership
Palworld game materials — including artwork, data, and localized text — remain © Pocketpair, Inc. ThePalWiki does not claim ownership of those materials.
What is game-derived (not CC BY-SA)
Unless noted otherwise, the following are taken from or based on Palworld and are not licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0:
- Pals — stats, drops, work suitability, partner skill parameters, and in-game display names

- Breeding — combination tables, facility data, and cake recipes shown on the breeding hub

How this site uses them
ThePalWiki reproduces this material only to help players look up in-game information in an unofficial fan wiki. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Pocketpair.
Pocketpair publishes guidelines for fan derivative works. Those guidelines describe how Pocketpair prefers fan works to behave. They are not a license, they do not authorize an ad-supported wiki or any commercial use of Palworld assets, and citing them as permission would be worse than not citing them. This site does not rely on those guidelines as legal cover. Structured game data is presented as facts; images and in-game text remain © Pocketpair. Rights holders can request removal via the Terms contact.
Please do not treat game images, map files, or exported stat tables from this site as freely reusable under CC BY-SA. The CC license applies to wiki text as described above.
Accuracy
Game values may be incomplete or out of date after patches. This site is not official game documentation.
