How to Breed Rayhound in Palworld
Rayhound is a Common Pal (#145, breeding rank 740) with 368 parent combinations, no specials — rank-average only in Palworld 1.0. Difficulty: Easy — early-game reachable.
Lowest-rarity parents: Hangyu Cryst + Shadowbeak (combined rank 1,482) — sorted by highest combined rank as a proxy for commonness, not early-game difficulty; rare targets can still need rare parents, so catch or breed the parents first before committing cake.
No special combo — all 368 parent pairs use the rank-average formula (child rank ≈ floor((rankA + rankB + 1) / 2)).
From a starter roster (Lamball, Cattiva, Chikipi, Lifmunk, Foxparks): shortest path is 1 breeding step (same engine as the calculator); budget at least 1 cake as a minimum (1 Vegetable Cake if the 2-eggs-per-cake report holds). Excludes gender retries, passive stacking, and incubation — bake extra.
