How to Breed Yakumo

Breed a Chillet with a Munchill at level 11 rather than waiting for the level 40 wild band. A bred Yakumo also lets you pick the passive its partner skill then hunts for you.

Where to find Chillet and Munchill

Every wild Yakumo is in Sakurajima and none is below level 40, so the heat is Chillet, the parent with a guaranteed level 11 boss on the main island. Munchill sits west of it and the Yakumo woods are pinned for later.

The route
1Decide which passive you want firstThis step is unusual and it is the point of the whole page. Birds of a Feather hunts for the passive the Yakumo itself carries, so choose the passive before you breed, not after. Breeding is the only route that lets you choose it.15 percent encounter bonus
2Fight the level 11 Chillet alpha at [172, -418]A guaranteed encounter and the only Chillet below level 32. It is Ice and Dragon, so Fire answers the Ice half and Ice the Dragon half. It respawns on server restart, so failing costs nothing.Lv 11, the only Chillet field boss
3Catch a Munchill off the ice block at [-86, -964]Munchill has only 28 mapped points in the game and this group is the cheap one, levels 10 to 20 on a five Pal table where it takes 22.22 percent. Everything else it has starts at 32.Lv 10 to 20, 22.22 percent
4Put the pair in a Breeding Farm with a CakeTwo hundred and forty four pairs produce a Yakumo, so the pair is a recommendation rather than a rule. Rerolling for passives is cheap here because both parents are level 11 and easy to replace.244 pairs, this one costs Lv 11
5Ride it while you hunt, and keep the saddle onThe bonus applies while the Yakumo is fighting alongside you, so it is a Pal you carry rather than one you station at a base. Gathering 2 is all it offers a base anyway, and Leather is its only drop.Gathering 2, Leather only

Camp squadReal, but blind
Three Ninja camps field one

Yakumo appears in Ninja camp 01-02 outside, Ninja camp 02-01 in a first floor corridor and Ninja camp 02-02 outside the main building, one each. That is three separate camps, more than anything else in this part of the Paldeck, and no level is recorded for any of them.

Egg hatchGreat odds
Common Egg, a coin toss

The Sakurajima Common Egg pool holds exactly 2 outcomes and Yakumo takes half the weight. Common Eggs are the cheapest egg in the game to come by, so this is the least effort route to a Yakumo of any level the nest feels like giving you.

Fifty two points in the cherry woods

One Sakurajima group carries 52 of the 67 points at levels 53 to 56, and Yakumo is tied for the heaviest of its 8 entries at 25 of 122 weight, so 20.49 percent. Good ground. It is 42 levels past the point where breeding one was already possible.

Dead endBlocked
No field boss, no raid

Yakumo has 0 field bosses, 0 raid tiers and 0 quest steps. The only guaranteed encounter is the Cherry Blossom Cave boss room, where it owns 2 of the 31 entries, as a level 47 to 49 alpha or a pair at 40 to 45.

A wild Yakumo comes with whatever passives it rolled, which makes its partner skill a lottery on top of a lottery. A bred one carries the passives you selected for, and that is the difference between a novelty and a tool.
The shares here are selection weights, not observed catch rates. Yakumo is tied at the top of its Sakurajima table with Chillet Ignis and Sootseer at weight 25 each, so 20.49 percent is a genuine one in five.
Yakumo gives a base almost nothing: Gathering 2 and a Leather drop. Judge it as a party Pal and a mount, and leave the base slot to something else.
Why bother
Birds of a Feather raises your chance of encountering Pals that carry the same passive skill as this Yakumo by 15 percent while it fights beside you. It is one of the very few partner skills that changes what the world gives you rather than what you do to it, and it is only worth anything if you control which passive the Yakumo has, which means breeding it. Everything else about the Pal is plain: a ridable Neutral with Gathering 2 and Leather.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What two Pals make Yakumo?

Two hundred and forty four pairs produce one. The cheapest practical pair is Chillet with Munchill, both level 11 or below: Chillet has a guaranteed level 11 field boss and Munchill spawns from level 10 on the ice block.

How does Birds of a Feather work?

While the Yakumo fights with you, your chance of encountering Pals carrying the same passive skill as that Yakumo rises by 15 percent. Some passives are excluded. It follows the Yakumo you are using, so its own passives are what matter.

Where does Yakumo spawn in Palworld 1.0?

Only in Sakurajima, across 67 mapped points at levels 40 to 56. Fifty two of them are one cherry woods group where Yakumo holds 20.49 percent of the roll.

Which egg hatches a Yakumo?

A Common Egg from Sakurajima. That pool holds only 2 outcomes and Yakumo takes 50 percent of the weight. The Large Common Egg version drops it to 2.05 percent, so the small egg is the one to open.

Is Yakumo worth using?

Only for the passive hunting. Gathering 2 and a Leather drop make it a poor worker, but a bred Yakumo carrying the passive you want turns the encounter bonus into a real farming tool.
