Shaolong is one of Palworld 1.0's marquee endgame catches: a serene, ribbon-finned Dragon/Water dragon that patrols the canopy of The World Tree, one of the new regions added in the July 10, 2026 launch. It doubles as a rideable flying mount and a heavy magic attacker, which makes it a prize worth the climb. This guide covers exactly where it spawns, how to bring it down without killing it, and what its kit looks like at Level 80.

Where to Find Shaolong

 

    Shaolong lives high in The World Tree, tied to the spawner region code worldtree_9_09_E. Expect encounters at Lv. 76–78, so treat this as a late-game hunt and gear accordingly. The page lists no exact map coordinates — only the spawner region — so navigate to the World Tree canopy and sweep the area rather than pinpointing a single marker.

 

 

    You can also fight Shaolong as the Tower Boss "Keeper of the Azure Covenant: Auri & Shaolong." The tower version is a scripted boss battle and cannot be captured — use it to learn Shaolong's attack patterns before you attempt the wild catch.

 

    Breeding is documented as a Unique Combo: Shaolong + Shaolong = Shaolong, meaning it only breeds true from a pair of Shaolong. There is no alternate parent combination on record, so catching your first one in the wild is the practical route in.

 

How to Catch Shaolong

 

1. Bring a strong counter-element team. Shaolong is Dragon/Water. On the standard type chart, Dragon takes extra damage from Ice, and Water is punished by Grass and Electric — an Ice attacker is your cleanest single answer, with Grass or Electric as backups.
2. Prep for the level gap. At Lv. 76–78 with 6,500–8,180 HP, Shaolong shrugs off weak hits. Come with a Pal in the mid-70s or higher and stock plenty of high-grade healing.
3. Weaken, don't wipe. Whittle its HP into the low red without landing the finishing blow. Status effects help keep it grounded and pinned while you set up throws.
4. Use high-tier spheres. Given the rarity and level, bring Ultra or Legendary Spheres — cheaper spheres will burn through your stock at this HP tier.
5. Throw from behind for the back-throw bonus. Circle around and land your spheres on Shaolong's back to boost capture odds on every attempt.

 

Skills & Stats

 

 

    Shaolong's partner skill, Azure Sovereign, lets you ride it as a flying mount and raises its Attack by 4% for every other Dragon Pal in your party — so a stacked Dragon lineup turns it into a scaling nuke. Its signature and top-tier active skills are:

 

• Meteorain (700)
• Celestial Vortex (700) — exclusive
• Azure Dracoflare (600) — exclusive
• Hydra Charge (500) — exclusive

 

    Its full active pool also includes Aqua Gun (50), Acid Rain (120), Comet Strike (180), and Blast Cannon (200), giving you a smooth power curve as it levels. Base stats are Size XL, Rarity 9, Health 140, Food 620, Attack 135, Defense 120, with a Technology unlock at level 77.

 

 

    At Level 80, Shaolong lands at 6,500–8,180 HP, 910–1,153 Attack, and 770–986 Defense — a durable, hard-hitting frame that backs up those 700-power skills. On base, its Watering Lv8 and Gathering Lv5 suitabilities make it a genuinely useful worker between combat runs.

 

Practical tips:

• Stack your party with other Dragon Pals before riding out — Azure Sovereign's +4%-per-Dragon bonus compounds fast.
• Slot Celestial Vortex and Meteorain for raw 700-power output; keep Hydra Charge for a Water option against Fire threats.
• Save the World Tree Holy Water and Ancient Relic drops — they're region-specific endgame materials you won't find elsewhere.
• Farm the Tower Boss fight first to memorize its patterns, then commit to the wild catch with full sphere stocks.
