How to get Yakumo in Palworld

     The world of Palworld is filled with fascinating creatures, but few are as mysterious as Yakumo. With its striking appearance, blending deep purple hues with a golden horn, Yakumo is a Pal that draws attention. It has a strong sense of justice, but rather than being the loyal companion it once was, it now stands as a hostile guardian of the wilds.

 

 

 

Where to find Yakumo

 

     Yakumo is primarily found in the Sakurajima region, which means you’ll need to prepare yourself for a journey to one of Palworld’s most visually stunning but dangerous locations. You won’t just stumble across Yakumo in the early game. To access Sakurajima, you’ll either need a flying mount or a strong swimming Pal to cross the waters separating it from the mainland.

 

 

     Once you arrive, Yakumo is known to roam near the Dancing Sakura Shrine. It’s often seen wandering alone, standing atop cliffs or near shrines, gazing into the distance as if contemplating something profound. If you’re lucky, you may even spot one meditating. At night, Yakumo becomes more aggressive, making it a bit trickier to approach. If you want an easier encounter, try searching for it during the day.

 

 

How to catch Yakumo

 

     Catching Yakumo requires strategy. As a Neutral-type Pal, it doesn’t have any specific elemental strengths, but it is weak to Dark-type Pals. If you bring a strong Dark-type Pal like Helzephyr or Maraith, you’ll have an advantage in battle.

 

 

     Yakumo is fast and can dodge attacks, so make sure to bring plenty of Pal Spheres, preferably Ultimate Spheres, to increase your chances of capture. Lowering its health significantly before throwing a Sphere is key, but don’t underestimate its Holy Burst attack, which can deal serious damage if you’re unprepared. Once its health is low, take a deep breath and throw your best Sphere.

 

 

How to breed Yakumo

 

     If tracking down a wild Yakumo proves too difficult, you can always breed one instead. Yakumo is obtained through a variety of breeding combinations, and some of the best include:

 

     Depresso + Gildane

 

     Incineram Noct + Foxparks Cryst

 

     Wixen + Splatterina

 

     Nyafia + Smokie

 

     Gorirat Terra + Caprity Noct

 

     If you’re breeding specifically for Yakumo, make sure at least one parent has strong Passive Skills to pass down to the offspring. The best Passive Skills for Yakumo include Swift (for movement speed) and Legend (which boosts attack, defense, and movement speed).

 

 

 

Yakumo’s skills and partner ability

 

     Yakumo’s Partner Skill, Birds of a Feather, is one of its most unique features. When Yakumo is in your party, you’re more likely to encounter Pals with the same Passive Skills as Yakumo. This makes it an incredibly useful Pal for players who want to capture Pals with ideal Passive Skills for breeding or combat.

 

     Here’s a breakdown of Yakumo’s active skills:

 

Level	Move	Type	Power	Cooldown
1	Power Shot	Neutral	35	4 sec
7	Bog Blast	Ground	40	4 sec
15	Stone Blast	Ground	55	10 sec
22	Power Bomb	Neutral	70	15 sec
30	Air Blade	Neutral	85	20 sec
40	Holy Burst	Neutral	120	30 sec
50	Pal Blast	Neutral	150	55 sec

     Yakumo’s Holy Burst and Pal Blast make it a decent attacker, though it’s not the strongest combat Pal. However, its Partner Skill more than makes up for this, as it gives players a major advantage when searching for Pals with ideal passives.

 

 

Work suitability

 

     Yakumo isn’t the best Pal for base work, but it does have Level 2 Gathering, making it useful for collecting crops and materials. If you’re building a dedicated farming base, Yakumo might come in handy, but for most players, its primary use will be its Partner Skill.

 

 

 

Is Yakumo worth it?

 

     Yakumo is not a powerhouse in battle, nor is it a top-tier worker at your base, but it excels in one key area: hunting for the perfect Pals. If you’re serious about getting Pals with the best Passive Skills, Yakumo is a must-have. By simply having it in your party while capturing new Pals, you increase your chances of finding ones with ideal passives.

 

     If your goal is to optimize your team with strong passives, Yakumo will save you countless hours of breeding and hunting. However, if you’re just looking for a strong combat or work Pal, you may want to invest in other options instead.

 

     Yakumo is a fascinating Pal with a unique ability that sets it apart from others. While it may not be the strongest fighter or the best worker, its Partner Skill makes it invaluable for players who want to optimize their team. If you’re serious about maximizing your squad’s potential, don’t overlook this mystical, justice-seeking wolf.
