Can I still learn Dark Ball on a new Selyne?
No. Selyne breeds only from Selyne parents in v1.0.3 in Palworld 1.0. Only a Selyne that already carries Dark Ball from an earlier version satisfies this build.
Can Selyne Learn Dark Ball in Palworld 1.0?
Checked against Palworld v1.0.3 · verified 2026-08-23 · Data status
Legacy Pal required
Not from scratch. In Palworld v1.0.3, Selyne cannot newly learn Dark Ball under verified methods (Selyne breeds only from Selyne parents in v1.0.3), but it could in v0.7.0. A legitimate pre-v1.0.3 Selyne that already carries it can pass it on, so this build requires a legacy Pal. The facts behind this answer are graded B and come from 2 registered sources.

Why
- No obtainable Skill Fruit for Dark Ball is verified in v1.0.3.
- In v1.0.3, Selyne can only be bred from two Selyne parents, so no other species can bring Dark Ball into its lineage.
- Dark Ball was obtainable on Selyne in an older version through a verified path.
- A Selyne that already carries Dark Ball can pass it to its offspring in v1.0.3, so the build survives only through an existing legacy lineage.

Where it stops
- Pals that obtain Dark Ball directly exist in v1.0.3 (Frostallion Noct, Gildra, Helzephyr, Hoocrates and Hoodle).
- Dark Ball can be inherited through breeding.
- Selyne has only one breeding recipe in v1.0.3: Selyne + Selyne, so no other species can bring it in.
- Before 1.0.3, Selyne could be bred from other species, which is how older Selyne got Dark Ball.
- 5 of 27 shown
- In v1.0.3, Selyne can only be bred from two Selyne parents, so no other species can bring Dark Ball into its lineage.
What you can do now
- Keep or obtain a Selyne from Palworld v0.7.0 or earlier that already carries Dark Ball.
- That carrier can pass Dark Ball on: Selyne can be bred from two Selyne parents.
