How to Catch Elgrove in Palworld (Location, Skills & Drops)
Elgrove is a Grass-element Pal introduced in the Palworld 1.0 update, a towering horned brute wrapped in living bark and leaves. You'll first encounter it roaming Sanctuary 1 Forest and the Yellow F area at Lv. 24-26, with a menacing Lv. 80 version stalking the new World Tree region. With strong planting and lumbering suitability plus a hard-hitting Grass combat kit, Elgrove is a Pal worth adding to your team early.

Elgrove belongs to the GrassMinotaur tribe (the "Verdant Minotaur"), a Humanoid-genus Pal of Size L and Rarity 6. It hatches from a Large Verdant Egg, and its best-in-class work is Seeding/Planting.
Where to Find Elgrove
Elgrove spawns naturally in Sanctuary 1 Forest and the Yellow F area at Lv. 24-26 — the best spot to catch an early-game one. If you want a maxed-out specimen, a Lv. 80 Elgrove appears in the World Tree (WorldTreeAura) area, one of 1.0's new zones.
You can also obtain Elgrove through Pal Recruiters across several regions at varying levels: Grass (Lv. 15-25), Forest_Volcano (Lv. 30-35), Desert_Snow (Lv. 40-45), Sakurajima (Lv. 50-55), DarkIsland (Lv. 60-65), and SkyIsland (Lv. 65-70).
Elgrove also has a distinct Ice variant, Elgrove Cryst, and a Tribe Boss (alpha) form worth hunting for premium drops. Exact spawn coordinates are not yet documented, and no breeding parent combination has been confirmed for Elgrove yet — so for now, wild capture, recruiters, or hatching a Large Verdant Egg are your routes to one.
How to Catch Elgrove
- Bring a Fire counter. Grass Pals like Elgrove are weak to Fire, so a strong Fire-element team will shred its HP fastest and speed up the capture.
- Weaken it into the red. Chip Elgrove down to a sliver of health without knocking it out — the lower its HP, the higher your catch chance.
- Apply a status effect. Inflicting an ailment further boosts capture rate, so stack it on before you throw.
- Use high-tier spheres. As a Rarity 6, Size L Pal, Elgrove resists weaker spheres. Bring Hyper, Ultra, or Legendary Pal Spheres, especially for the Lv. 80 World Tree version.
- Aim for a back-throw. Landing the sphere on Elgrove's back grants a catch-rate bonus — line up behind it before you commit.
Skills & Stats
Elgrove's partner skill, Mother Nature's Menace, changes the player's attack type to Grass and increases Attack by 30-50% when activated — a genuine damage boost for Grass-focused loadouts.
Its top-end active skills hit hard:
- Raging Bull Rush (Power 650) — exclusive skill unlocked at Lv. 70
- Wind Burst (Power 600)
- Crosswind (Power 500)
- Bull Rush (Power 250) — exclusive skill unlocked at Lv. 22
Its full active skill list also includes Bog Blast (40), Grass Tornado (200), Rockburst (300), and Circle Vine (300).
At Level 80, Elgrove's stat ranges land at:
- HP: 5300 – 6620
- Attack: 730 – 919
- Defense: 680 – 869
Practical tips:
- Deploy Elgrove at a base with a plantation — its Planting Lv3 and Lumbering Lv3 make it a strong dual-purpose worker.
- Pair Mother Nature's Menace with Grass-boosting gear to push its Attack buff toward the 50% ceiling.
- Catch multiple wild Lv. 24-26 Elgroves to compare passive skills before committing to one for combat.
- Save your best spheres for the Lv. 80 World Tree Elgrove — a high-level base capture skips a long grind.

Conclusion
Elgrove is one of Palworld 1.0's standout Grass Pals — a hard-hitting Verdant Minotaur that doubles as a top-tier planter and lumberjack. Grab an early one in Sanctuary 1 Forest, then graduate to the Lv. 80 World Tree version once you've stocked up on high-tier spheres and a Fire team.
