Base work ranking
Shaolong is the best watering Pal in Palworld 1.0: it works at watering suitability level 8, the highest level any Pal reaches at this job, and it is the only Pal that reaches it. 46 of the 299 Pals in the game can do watering at all, and every one of them is ranked below — level first, base work speed second.

46 of the 299 Pals in Palworld 1.0 can do watering at a base, about 15% of them. The highest suitability level any of them reaches is 8, and 1 Pal reaches it.
The table below is every one of them, ordered by suitability level, then by base work speed, then by Paldeck number. Two Pals on the same level are separated by the stat that changes how much work gets done per unit of time, not by an opinion about which one to use.
Level distribution: 1 at level 8, 2 at level 7, 2 at level 6, 5 at level 5, 5 at level 4, 3 at level 3, 16 at level 2, 12 at level 1. A level is a capability, not a rate — a Pal with a higher level unlocks work a lower-level Pal cannot do at all, which is why the level column outranks the speed column here.
Every level here comes from the same dataset the build checker uses, so a number on this page and a number on a Pal's own page cannot disagree. Work suitability is a property of the species: it is not inherited, not rolled at hatch and not changed by a passive, which is why breeding for it means breeding for the species.
By element, the 46 watering Pals break down as Water 46, Dark 5, Dragon 5, Ice 5, and others — Water is the largest group at 100% of the list. Elements do not change work suitability; they are here because they decide what a Pal survives, which is the second question anyone picking a base worker asks. Rarity across the same group runs 1 to 20, so a high level does not by itself mean a hard Pal to obtain.
Data from Palworld v1.0.3, verified 2026-08-25.
Of the Pals at watering level 7 and above, Jormuntide carries the lowest rarity at 8, against 9 for Shaolong at the top of the table. Rarity and work suitability are separate axes, and both are columns here so the trade-off is visible rather than assumed.
Level 2, which 16 of the 46 watering Pals sit on. The full spread is 1 at level 8, 2 at level 7, 2 at level 6, 5 at level 5, 5 at level 4, 3 at level 3, 16 at level 2, 12 at level 1. A level is a capability rather than a rate: a higher level unlocks work a lower one cannot do at all.
No. Work suitability is a property of the species: it is not inherited, not rolled at hatch and not granted by a passive skill. Breeding for a watering worker means breeding for one of the 46 species on this list, not for the trait.
