Gathering Lv 2 is Yakumo's only work suitability — handy for collecting crops and forage, but it is a field companion, not a base workhorse.

Partner skill: Birds of a Feather

The practical breakdown of Birds of a Feather.

RideYakumo can be ridden — a mount as much as a fighter.
Passive huntWhile it fights alongside you, wild Pals are 15–30% more likely to carry the same Passive Skill as your Yakumo — a way to farm a specific passive onto fresh catches.
Catch noteThe bonus only fills empty passive slots, only on caught Pals (not eggs). Keep Yakumo to one or two target passives so the odds don't split.

The story of Yakumo

Yakumo has a fierce sense of justice and despises evil. The Paldeck records that they were once faithful, loving companions to the islanders. Something soured that bond: today a Yakumo turns on any human the moment it is spotted, hunting them across Sakurajima with the same devotion it once offered. A guardian that never stopped guarding — it just changed sides.

Field notes
— from the log of a Pal keeper

Day 3. Spotted one prowling the slopes below Moonflower Tower. It came straight for me — no bluff, no display.

Day 5. Tamed and rode it. Quick on its feet, and it really does drag a wild Pal's passive onto whatever I catch beside it.

Day 8. Only good for Gathering back at base, but I keep one on the field just for the passive-hunting trick.

Day 11. Bred a spare from a Bristla and a Smokie — easier than climbing Sakurajima for another.

Yakumo, answered

Where do I find Yakumo in Palworld?

On Sakurajima, around Moonflower Tower and the Dancing Sakura Shrine, day and night at about Lv 53. It also appears as an Alpha boss in some dungeons.

What type is Yakumo?

Neutral — so it is weak to Dark and takes normal damage from every other element.

Can you ride Yakumo?

Yes. Its partner skill, Birds of a Feather, lets you mount it.

What does Birds of a Feather do?

While Yakumo fights alongside you, wild Pals are 15–30% more likely to share your Yakumo's Passive Skill, filling empty passive slots on the Pals you catch. It does not affect eggs.

What are Yakumo's work suitabilities?

Only Gathering Lv 2 — a field collector rather than a base worker.

How do I breed Yakumo?

Hatch it from a Common Egg — there are 277 parent combos. The cheapest is Bristla + Smokie; breed with a Cake in a Breeding Farm (Tech 19).
