Lucky Cattiva overview

Lucky Cattiva is a shiny Lucky variant with a golden aura and +30% work speed. Extremely rare spawn. It appears most reliably around the Feybreak Isles. In combat it deals Grass-type damage and slots into a party as a rare-tier Grass unit.

Base stats & ratings

HP 145 · ATK 230 · DEF 88 · Speed 134 · Ride Speed 1113 · Stamina 88. Pal Stars rates Lucky Cattiva PvE 6/10, PvP 3/10, Base 6/10 and Mount 8/10 for Palworld 1.0.

How to catch

Lucky Cattiva has a base capture rate of 10 out of 100. Weaken it below 30% HP and use a Hyper Sphere or better from behind for the best odds. Elemental advantage (Fire vs Grass, Water vs Fire, Grass vs Water, Electric vs Water, Ground vs Electric, Ice vs Dragon, Dark vs Neutral, Dragon vs Dragon) speeds the weaken step.

Best moveset

Lucky Cattiva learns 4 active moves in Palworld 1.0. The strongest rotation is Ice Shard, Ice Shard, Slam. Pair the highest-power Grass move with a same-type STAB partner so both slots benefit from Grass-boosting passives.

Work suitabilities & base role

Lucky Cattiva is tagged for Planting, Gathering. Slot it into a base loop that stacks its highest work value — for example, an plantation and gathering line — and give it the Workaholic + Serious passives to squeeze out extra work speed.

Partner skill & mount notes

Lucky Cattiva's partner skill "Botanist" activates while it rides on your shoulder or is deployed. Its ride speed of 1113 makes it a strong mid-tier mount for exploration.
