The Ground element in Palworld covers a strange but useful spread of creatures, from slime-like seed planters to mythological desert guardians. Most of these Pals double as solid combatants and dependable base workers, which makes the category flexible whether you are hunting Electric enemies or grinding ore.
This breakdown covers every Ground-type Pal currently catchable, including their Partner Skills, drops, and the work tasks they handle around the ranch.

Ground Pals shine in two scenarios. First, they tear through Electric enemies that would otherwise wreck your team. Second, several members of this group are natural-born miners, so leaving a few back at base keeps your ore stockpile healthy without you lifting a finger.
The element does come with trade-offs. Grass attacks chip through Ground defenses fast, and many of these Pals are built like bricks, which means mobility is on the slower side. Bring a faster mount if you plan to chase down anything quick.
