Can I still learn Megaton Implode on a new Shadowbeak?
No. Shadowbeak breeds only from Shadowbeak parents in v1.0.3 in Palworld 1.0. Only a Shadowbeak that already carries Megaton Implode from an earlier version satisfies this build.
Can Shadowbeak Learn Megaton Implode 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, Shadowbeak cannot newly learn Megaton Implode under verified methods (Shadowbeak breeds only from Shadowbeak parents in v1.0.3), but it could in v0.7.0. A legitimate pre-v1.0.3 Shadowbeak 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 Megaton Implode is verified in v1.0.3.
- In v1.0.3, Shadowbeak can only be bred from two Shadowbeak parents, so no other species can bring Megaton Implode into its lineage.
- Megaton Implode was obtainable on Shadowbeak in an older version through a verified path.
- A Shadowbeak that already carries Megaton Implode 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 Megaton Implode directly exist in v1.0.3 (Tocotoco).
- Megaton Implode can be inherited through breeding.
- Shadowbeak has only one breeding recipe in v1.0.3: Shadowbeak + Shadowbeak, so no other species can bring it in.
- Before 1.0.3, Shadowbeak could be bred from other species, which is how older Shadowbeak got Megaton Implode.
- In v1.0.3, Shadowbeak can only be bred from two Shadowbeak parents, so no other species can bring Megaton Implode into its lineage.
What you can do now
- Keep or obtain a Shadowbeak from Palworld v0.7.0 or earlier that already carries Megaton Implode.
- That carrier can pass Megaton Implode on: Shadowbeak can be bred from two Shadowbeak parents.
