How to Catch Pierdon in Palworld (Location, Skills & Drops)
Pierdon is a Ground-element Pal in Palworld 1.0, a walking slab of living stone built for the mines and the front line. You will find it prowling the volcanic reaches at volcanoiskand_2, where its craggy plating and warlike temperament make it a stubborn catch but a rewarding one. Between top-tier Mining suitability and a party buff that punishes Muddy-afflicted enemies, this is a Pal worth chasing early in your 1.0 playthrough.
Pierdon at a Glance
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Element | Ground |
| Paldeck # | #131 |
| Partner Skill | Power Stone — boosts damage to Muddy-afflicted enemies by 50–65% (does not stack) |

Pierdon is Rarity 6, Size M, with the Heavyweight passive (Defense +20% and immunity to knockback) and a Warlike AI. Its egg is the Large Rocky Egg, and a Cryst variant (icon T_RockBeast_Ice) also exists in the wild.
Where to Find Pierdon
Pierdon spawns at volcanoiskand_2 at Lv. 42–46 in its normal form. The Shambling Vein Pierdon — the Tribe Boss / alpha variant — spawns elsewhere on the Palpagos Islands at Lv. 50. If you are hunting the standard spawn, head for the coordinates 819, 467 and sweep the rocky, volcanic terrain there; Pierdon blends into the stone, so watch for the telltale glowing red eye.
On defeat or capture, Pierdon reliably yields Ore 4–5, Coal 4–5, and Sulfur 4–5, each at a 100% drop rate — a clean source of the smelting materials you need for ammo and refined ingots.
As for breeding, its egg is the Large Rocky Egg and its CombiRank is 1110, but a specific parent pairing isn't documented yet. Until Pocketpair or the community confirms a reliable combo, catching Pierdon in the wild is the dependable route.
How to Catch Pierdon
- Bring a strong counter-element team. Ground is weak to Grass, so pack Grass-element Pals to break Pierdon's HP quickly while resisting its Ground attacks.
- Weaken it — don't kill it. Grind its health bar into the red, but ease off before the final blow. Note that Heavyweight grants +20% Defense and knockback immunity, so it soaks more damage than its stats suggest.
- Watch the Muddy status. Most of Pierdon's Ground skills apply Muddy; if you run your own Power Stone Pal, you can lean into that synergy during the fight.
- Throw high-tier spheres. At Lv. 42–46 (or Lv. 50 for the Shambling Vein alpha), use Hyper, Ultra, or Legendary Spheres for a realistic capture rate.
- Aim for the back-throw. Landing a sphere from behind Pierdon boosts the catch multiplier — reposition before you throw for the best odds.
Skills & Stats
Pierdon's Partner Skill, Power Stone, keeps it valuable long after capture: while it's in your party, you and your Pals deal 50–65% extra damage to enemies afflicted with Muddy (the effect does not stack). Since Pierdon's own kit applies Muddy freely, it sets up its own damage bonus.
Its standout active skills are Horn Burst (600) — Pierdon's exclusive signature move — Rocky Impact (600), Sand Twister (500), and Rock Lance (400). That's a heavy, hard-hitting Ground loadout that pairs naturally with the Muddy debuff.
At Level 80, Pierdon's stats land at:
- HP: 4,900 – 6,100
- Attack: 730 – 919
- Defense: 770 – 986
With Mining Lv5, it's also one of the better mineral-node workers you can assign at your base.
Field tips:
- Lead with Grass Pals — Ground folds to Grass, and you'll shred Pierdon's HP before Heavyweight becomes a problem.
- Keep it in your active party for the Power Stone buff whenever you're fighting enemies you can hit with Muddy.
- Assign Pierdon to a Mining Lv5 node; its guaranteed Ore, Coal, and Sulfur drops make it a self-sustaining materials engine.
- Save a few high-tier spheres specifically for the Lv. 50 Shambling Vein alpha — it takes far more to catch than the normal spawn.
