Palworld Mining Pals: Work Levels, Elements and Drops Compared

 

    This guide compares six specific Pals — Cattiva, Digtoise, Fuddler, Kikit, Rushoar, and Tombat — that paldb.cc lists with a documented Mining Work Suitability. It is not a complete list of every Palworld Pal with Mining suitability; it covers only these six, pulled from their individual paldb.cc pages. Every number below — Work Suitability level, element, Paldeck entry, Level 80 stat range, partner skill, active-skill power, and drop table — is quoted from that Pal's own sourced page, and anywhere the source leaves a field blank, this article says so instead of guessing.

 

Mining Suitability, Compared

 

 

    The documented Mining levels are: Digtoise 4, Tombat 3, and Cattiva, Fuddler, Kikit, and Rushoar at 1 each. Digtoise's listed level is 4 − 1 = 3 points higher than the four Pals sitting at level 1, and 4 − 3 = 1 point higher than Tombat. Tombat's level 3 is 3 − 1 = 2 points higher than those same four.

 

    Mining isn't the only job some of these six carry. Cattiva's page also lists Handiwork 1, Gathering 1, and Transporting 1 (four suitability categories total, one point each). Fuddler adds Handiwork 1 and Transporting 1 alongside its Mining 1. Tombat's page lists Gathering 2 and Transporting 2 next to its Mining 3. Digtoise, Kikit, and Rushoar's pages list Mining as their only Work Suitability entry — no other job category is documented for those three.

 

Elements, Paldeck Numbers and Partner Skills

 

    Per their individual pages: Cattiva is Paldeck #2, element Neutral; Digtoise is #107, element Ground; Fuddler is #31, element Ground; Kikit is #126, element Ground; Rushoar is #28, element Ground; Tombat is #52, element Dark. Four of the six — Digtoise, Fuddler, Kikit, and Rushoar — share the Ground element; Cattiva (Neutral) and Tombat (Dark) are the two outliers in this set of six.

 

    Each Pal's page also names a Partner Skill, unlocked at level 1 in every case here: Cattiva's "Cat Helper," Digtoise's "Drill Crusher," Fuddler's "Mining Assistance," Kikit's "Sandball Soccer," Rushoar's "Hard Head," and Tombat's "Ultrasonic Sensor." None of the six pages attaches an effect description, percentage, or duration to its Partner Skill entry — what each one actually does in play is undocumented here, so this article states only the name and unlock level, not a guessed mechanic.

 

Level 80 Stats and Active Skills

 

 

    At Level 80: Cattiva is HP 3,700–4,540 / ATK 520–646 / DEF 470–596; Digtoise is HP 4,100–5,060 / ATK 670–841 / DEF 770–986; Fuddler is HP 3,500–4,280 / ATK 580–724 / DEF 350–440; Kikit is HP 3,900–4,800 / ATK 520–646 / DEF 590–752; Rushoar is HP 4,100–5,060 / ATK 520–646 / DEF 470–596; and Tombat is HP 4,700–5,840 / ATK 670–841 / DEF 530–674. Among these six, Tombat's HP ceiling of 5,840 is the highest listed; Digtoise and Tombat share the highest listed Attack ceiling at 841 each; and Digtoise's Defense ceiling of 986 is the highest listed.

 

    Each page also lists an active-skill ladder by name and power only — paldb.cc doesn't attach an element to any individual move here, so none is claimed. The highest-power move listed per Pal is: Cattiva's Holy Burst (700), Digtoise's Rocky Impact (600), Fuddler's Rocky Impact (600), Kikit's Rocky Impact (600), Rushoar's Rocky Impact (600), and Tombat's Dark Whisp (600). Cattiva's ceiling of 700 is 700 − 600 = 100 power higher than the 600-power ceiling shared by the other five.

 

Confirmed Drops

 

 

    Documented drops: Cattiva — Red Berries (1); Digtoise — Ore (2–3) and High Quality Pal Oil (2–3); Fuddler — Leather (1–2); Kikit — Leather (1–2), Bone (1–2), and Crude Oil (1); Rushoar — Rushoar Pork (1–2), Leather (1), and Bone (1); Tombat — Leather (1–2) and Small Pal Soul (1). None of the six pages attaches a drop-rate percentage to these entries — treat each listed range as a quantity-per-kill figure only, not a confirmed 100% drop chance.

 

Practical notes

• Digtoise (Mining 4) and Tombat (Mining 3) are the two Pals in this set

of six with a Mining level above 1.

• Digtoise, Kikit, and Rushoar's pages list Mining as their only Work

Suitability category — no secondary job is documented for those three.

• None of the six Partner Skill entries has a documented effect — verify

in-game rather than assume a specific mechanic from the name alone.

• No active skill here has a documented element, and no drop has a

documented drop-rate percentage — both are open gaps in the source.

• This is a six-Pal comparison, not a ranking — no "best miner" claim is

made for any of them.

 

Running your own Palworld 1.0 server

 

    Testing how these six Pals actually perform on a base — comparing work speed at Mining 1 versus Mining 4, or just watching Ore and High Quality Pal Oil pile up from Digtoise over a few in-game days — is easier on a server you control than on a public one with locked slots and fixed settings. A private Palworld server lets you set work speed, drop rates, and catch rates yourself, invite up to 32 players you choose, and keep the world running even when you're offline.

Conclusion

 

    This roundup covers six specific Pals with documented Mining Work Suitability — Cattiva, Digtoise, Fuddler, Kikit, Rushoar, and Tombat — not every Palworld Pal that carries a Mining rating. Across these six, Mining levels run from 1 (Cattiva, Fuddler, Kikit, Rushoar) to 3 (Tombat) to 4 (Digtoise); four of the six share the Ground element; Level 80 stat ranges top out at Tombat's 5,840 HP and Digtoise's 986 Defense; and drop tables run from a single item (Cattiva's Red Berries) to three (Kikit's Leather, Bone, and Crude Oil). Partner Skill effects, per-skill elements, and drop-rate percentages aren't documented on any of the six sourced pages, so none of that is guessed here — treat this as a snapshot of what paldb.cc currently records for these six, not the full Mining-Pal roster.
