How passives are inherited

Breeding with a regular Cake builds the egg's passives in three steps. These mechanics were reverse-engineered from the game code by /u/mgxts and are implemented in PalCalc.

The game pools every distinct passive both parents carry, then rolls how many to take from that pool: one (40%), two (30%), three (20%) or four (10%), capped by the pool size.
It picks that many passives from the pool at random, each equally likely.
It rolls how many random passives to add: none (40%), one (30%), two (20%) or three (10%), up to the limit of four passives. Only passives marked "Rolls randomly" in the list can be added this way.

Because inherited passives are drawn from the whole pool, every unwanted passive on a parent makes the ones you want less likely. Put your parents' passives into the passive inheritance calculator to see the chance per egg and how many cakes to plan for.

Passive skill questions

How many passive skills are in Palworld?

This list has 115 passive skills: 31 top tier (rank 4 or 5), 69 positive (rank 1 to 3) and 15 negative ones that act as drawbacks.

Can every passive skill roll randomly on a bred pal?

No. 85 of the 115 passives can be added as a random passive when an egg is made. The other 30 only reach an egg when a parent already carries them.

Which top tier passives can roll randomly?

Demon God, Diamond Body, Eternal Engine, Heart of the Immovable King, King of the Waves, Lavish Hospitality, Lightfooted, Mastery of Fasting, Ranch Master, Remarkable Craftsmanship, Swift and Vampiric.

Which pals always spawn with a passive skill?

46 pals always come with at least one passive, and 10 of them come with a top tier one: Blazamut Ryu, Bellanoir Libero, Xenolord, Hartalis, Paladius, Necromus, Frostallion, Frostallion Noct, Neptilius and Jetragon. The list shows every such pal next to its passive.

What are the odds of breeding a pal with four specific passives?

If the two parents carry exactly those four passives and nothing else, each egg has a 10% chance to get all four with a regular Cake, so about 22 eggs gives you a 90% chance of at least one. Any extra passive on the parents lowers the odds.
