Summary

  • 97.8% of old pairs give a new child
  • 7 Pals lost every other parent pair (23 self-only in total)
  • 72 Pals new in 1.0

Datamined code The main reason: 1.0 put every Pal on a new breeding power scale. How the rule works now: how breeding works.

How we compared

We ran every pair of the 216 Pals in both versions through the 0.7.3 data and the current data, with the same child rules. The pipeline gets the same count on its own (22,929 of 23,436 pairs, 97.8%).

Before 1.0 the breeding power of these Pals ran from 1 to 1,500; now they run from 50 to 3,080. New Pals sit in between.

The 1.0 changelog says the combinations were reviewed to match game progression, without listing them.

These parents now go through the normal rules.

Pals that now breed only from two of themselves

23 Pals breed only from a male and a female of their own kind in 1.0. The badge shows how many parent pairs each one had in 0.7.3.

Legendary and self-only: Necromus, Frostallion, Jetragon, Neptilius, Paladius. How to get the first one: self-only Pals.

25 new special recipes

Apart from mutations, each one is the only way to get its child from two different species.
