Xenogard overview
Xenogard is a common water Pal known for its aquatic torrent ability. Frequently sighted in the World Tree. It appears most reliably around the World Tree. In combat it deals Water-type damage and slots into a party as a common-tier Water unit.
Base stats & ratings
HP 190 · ATK 281 · DEF 157 · Speed 46 · Ride Speed 431 · Stamina 127. Pal Stars rates Xenogard PvE 5/10, PvP 6/10, Base 6/10 and Mount 3/10 for Palworld 1.0.
How to catch
Xenogard has a base capture rate of 60 out of 100. Weaken it below 30% HP and use a regular Pal Sphere 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
Xenogard learns 4 active moves in Palworld 1.0. The strongest rotation is Slam, Slam, Tidal Wave. Pair the highest-power Water move with a same-type STAB partner so both slots benefit from Water-boosting passives.
Work suitabilities & base role
Xenogard is tagged for Watering, Cooling. Slot it into a base loop that stacks its highest work value — for example, an berry + wheat plantation with cooling line — and give it the Workaholic + Serious passives to squeeze out extra work speed.
Partner skill & mount notes
Xenogard's partner skill "Aquatic Torrent" activates while it rides on your shoulder or is deployed. Its ride speed of 431 makes it a support-only rider — better as a base worker than a full-time mount.
