How to Breed Shadowbeak in Palworld 1.0
#189 · 1 parent combination · data from Palworld 1.0 game files, updated 2026-07-14
Quick answer
Shadowbeak can only be bred from two Shadowbeak parents. Like other legendary-tier Pals, no other species combination produces it — catch a male and a female in the wild, then breed them for eggs with better passives.
Old recipe no longer works
Before 1.0, Kitsun + Astegon was the famous Shadowbeak recipe — many guides and AI answers still repeat it. In Palworld 1.0 that pair produces Relaxaurus instead. Use the current combinations on this page.

How to breed Shadowbeak, step by step
- Get the parents. Shadowbeak is same-species only, so you need a male and a female Shadowbeak. Catch them in the wild — bring plenty of high-tier spheres, since Legendary-tier Pals resist capture.
- Set up the Breeding Farm. Assign both parents to the farm and stock the chest with cake — breeding does not start without it. Keep a steady cake supply going if you plan to hatch multiple eggs.
- Collect and incubate the egg. The pair produces an egg that hatches into Shadowbeak. Pop it in an incubator; Dynamoff at your base and the Babysitter passive both cut the waiting time.
- Breed for passives and mutations. The baby can inherit up to four passive skills from its parents, and every egg has a small chance to mutate with boosted stats. Hatch in bulk until you get the Shadowbeak you want.
