Eikthydeer
One of the best ground mounts that Palworld has to offer is definitely Eikthydeer. It is the best early-game companion and it was one of my first mounts as well.
I found it to be very swift and one of its abilities will allow you to quickly dash through enemies while dealing damage. Furthermore, you will be able to catch it very easily as it is found almost everywhere. If you keep Eikthydeer at your base it can help you collect wood for various recipes.
Why I Chose This:The reason I consider Eikthydeer to be one of the best ground mounts is due to its speed and the fact you can catch it easily. The dragon is considered to be the best ground mount in Palworld. Even though Direhowl is considerably faster than Chillet, I still found the water-type Pal to be a great companion due to its highly damaging ice attacks even at the lowest level. After you have leveled up enough, you will be able to catch it easily in the Windswept Hills. You need to be very careful while catching Chillet as not many of them spawn in the first place. Therefore, avoid killing it. Why I Chose This: The main reason I placed Chillet at the top of this list is due to its highly damaging attacks and its ability to use as little stamina as possible. Possibly the strongest aerial mount in Palworld is the Vanwyrm, which makes the pal equally difficult to catch. Battling Vanwyrm is no joke as it actively targets the player as well as the pal fighting against it. I will recommend catching Vanwyrm as it is the best aerial mount for mid to late game. I saw most of them near syndicate camps and in Bamboo Groves. Why I Chose This: Because Vanwyrm is not only the fastest aerial mount but also has remarkable AOE attacks and strong passive skills. The list of best mounts in Palworld will not be complete without the mention of Nitewing, my personal favorite. Nitewing proved to be a great companion in my journey and I was able to travel very fast using it as a mount. I was able to capture it after a lot of tries and would recommend beginners to use it as a mount. After that, you can shift to Vanwyrm for the mid to late game. Why I Chose This: The main reason is chose Nitewing was due to the fact it can be obtained quite early on in the game. Instead of going for Celaray, I would recommend Surfent to cross the watery areas. The water-type Pal is capable of swimming without using much of its stamina. Moreover, I found its Hydro Jet attack to be extremely powerful in taking down enemies. You can find Surfent near the Sealed Realm of the Swordmaster Waypoint. Catch it with caution as they spawn rarely. Why I Chose This: I chose Surfent as a water mount due to its damaging attacks, particularly Hydro Jet, and low stamina consumption. After trying out all of these mounts, I will recommend you have Eikthydeer and Nitewing in your party as they are the best early-game mounts. Later on, you should definitely consider upgrading to Chillet and Vanwyrm as ground and aerial mounts respectively, as both of these pals have highly damaging attacks and serve as good mounts for mid to late game.
