Tools and data
Breeding calculator
Two parents to a child, or a child back to every pair that makes it. Exact results, not estimates.
Base jobs and best workers
All 12 jobs, with every Pal that can do each one ranked by level. Generating electricity is held by only 25 species.
All 299 Pals
Breeding value, rarity, wild levels and route count for every Pal, each with its own page.
Unique combos

Legendary Pals
Why 26 species cannot be bred from a mixed pair, and which ones can.
How breeding works
The hidden value behind every Pal, what the popular averaging rule gets wrong, and why ties matter.
What the data says
Every Pal carries a hidden breeding value. The lower it is, the harder that Pal is to reach by pairing two others. The 5 lowest in the current data are Panthalus at 20, Aegidron at 30, Shaolong at 40, Bastigor at 50 and Dandilord at 60.
