Pals do not currently evolve in Palworld. While the game uses terminology like "evolution" in its lore, it doesn’t translate to a mechanic where individual Pals change form permanently through leveling or specific actions.
However, here are some alternative approaches to achieve similar results:
Breeding:
Combine compatible Pals to create hybrids with new appearances and potentially stronger stats. Experiment with different combinations to discover unique options.
Genetic Condenser:
Though still in an early access state, this in-game machine holds promise for future updates. Its potential function might involve altering a Pal’s genes for aesthetic and possibly stat-related changes. Keep an eye on future developments and official announcements.
Alternative Strategies:
Level up your character’s stats to enhance your overall capabilities and indirectly improve your Pals’ effectiveness.
Utilize formations for coordinated movement and increased efficiency.
Equip Pals with gear and weapons to enhance their stats and abilities.
Capture and tame new Pals with desired characteristics or strengths.
While a traditional "evolution" mechanic might not be present yet, these alternative approaches provide ways to adapt and create diverse and powerful Pals for your Palworld journey. Be sure to stay updated on future game updates and announcements for potential evolutions and other exciting features.
