To pick an effective attack, match the element of the active skill—not just the attacking Pal—to the enemy’s weakness. Use the chart below for a quick lookup, then check both elements if the target is dual-type.
Palworld element strengths and weaknesses

The chart relationships are consistent across Palworld.tools’ type chart, the Palworld Guide chart updated July 10, 2026, and the Palworld Wiki’s Elements reference.
How to use the chart in a fight
Look at the element of the attack skill you are about to use, then find the enemy’s element in the chart’s “Strong against” column. A Pal’s own element does not restrict it to matching-element attacks: Pals can learn or use skills of other elements, so an off-element skill may cover an enemy weakness.
When comparing two candidate attacks, check the skill element against the target first, then consider skill power and other damage modifiers separately. The chart establishes elemental matchups; it does not rank particular Pals or skills.

Dual-element Pals: check both defenses
For a dual-element defender, consider each of its two elements. Current references describe the effects as combining: a weakness to both elements can increase damage, while one strength and one resistance cancel to normal damage. Palworld.tools’ current type chart reports 2.25× damage against a target weak to both elements; its damage calculator also reports this behavior.
Do not treat a precise multiplier as settled across versions. A PalProof chart verified against v1.0.3 on August 25, 2026, lists 2× for a strong hit and 0.5× for a weak hit, while Palworld.tools’ current 1.0 chart and calculator report 1.5×, 0.66×, and 2.25× for dual weaknesses. The available references do not establish which figures are authoritative for the current game build. The reliable quick-use guidance is the direction of the matchup: exploit the listed weakness and account for both defender elements.

Palworld.tools’ damage calculator reports a 1.2× bonus when an active skill matches one of the Pal’s own elements. That figure is calculator-reported rather than directly confirmed by an official current-game multiplier statement. The Palworld Wiki’s element page cites the in-game Survival Guide for the underlying element rules.
