To breed Anubis in Palworld, select a currently valid male-and-female parent combination in a version-matched breeding calculator, assign both Pals to a Breeding Farm, provide the required Cake, and place the resulting egg in an Egg Incubator. There is no universally easiest pair: the best route is the combination that your installed game version recognizes and that you can obtain in your own save. Community databases currently disagree substantially on their pair totals, so verify the recipe immediately before investing time or resources.
How do you breed Anubis in Palworld?
The process has four parts: identify a valid parent pair, assign one male and one female to a Breeding Farm, supply Cake, and incubate the egg produced by the farm. Anubis is Pal No. 139 and a Ground-type Pal in the current Palbreed listing, but you do not need to capture an Anubis first if your chosen parent combination produces one.
- Open a current breeding calculator. Search for Anubis in a database that identifies its game or database version. Record the two parent species and check that both are obtainable in your save.
- Obtain one male and one female parent. The pair must be compatible in the calculator you are using. Do not rely on a combination remembered from an older guide if it is absent from the current table.
- Assign both Pals to a Breeding Farm. Place the male and female in the farm’s two breeding slots, then provide Cake when the farm requests it. The farm will not begin the breeding cycle without its required inputs.
- Incubate the egg. Collect the egg generated by the farm, move it to an Egg Incubator, and hatch it. The hatched offspring is Anubis when the parent combination is valid for your data version.
The exact Cake recipe, farm unlock requirement, incubation duration and temperature modifiers are not established by the references used here, and can vary with game updates or world settings. Follow the labels and requirements shown in your own game rather than assuming values from a different version.
What breeds Anubis?
Use the pair table in a current calculator rather than a single “secret” recipe. The current Palbreed page, which says its 1.0 data is based on PalCalc v1.19.1 and database v27, lists 234 Anubis combinations. Examples shown there include Dualith with Blazamut, Lyleen Noct with Suzaku Aqua, and Shadowbeak with Blazamut.
A separate PalworldGuide table labeled game version 1.100.427 reports 97 pairs and includes Univolt Cryst with Moldron Cryst. Those examples are useful starting points, not a promise that every pair appears in every release. The gender requirement remains the same: assign one compatible male and one compatible female to the farm.
Examples from versioned community tables
| Parent species listed | Reference and data label | How to use the example |
|---|---|---|
| Dualith + Blazamut | Palbreed, Palworld 1.0 page; PalCalc v1.19.1/database v27 basis | Check that both species and the combination still appear in the calculator you are using, then provide opposite-sex parents. |
| Lyleen Noct + Suzaku Aqua | Palbreed, same stated data basis | Use only if both Pals are available in your save and the current table confirms the result as Anubis. |
| Shadowbeak + Blazamut | Palbreed, same stated data basis | A listed option, but not automatically the fastest route; acquisition time depends on your world and collection. |
| Univolt Cryst + Moldron Cryst | PalworldGuide, game version 1.100.427 | Verify the game-version label before gathering these parents, because another database may use a different breeding snapshot. |
These are species combinations, not instructions to use a particular parent as the male. The farm requires one male and one female; consult the in-game gender display and the calculator’s compatibility result before assigning them.
How to choose among the listed pairs
A long list is useful only when you narrow it to parents you can actually use. Start by marking the rows for which both species are already in your Palbox. Those rows remove capture and travel work and are usually more practical than a supposedly low-level route that requires finding two unfamiliar Pals. If several rows remain, compare how easily each missing parent can be obtained in your current world, then inspect the passive skills on the parents.
Do not treat the order in a calculator as a universal ranking. Palbreed describes its lower-encounter-floor ordering as a data filter, not a guarantee of the easiest route in every save. Your progression, unlocked areas and existing collection determine whether a listed pair is actually convenient. A pair near the top of a filtered list can still be a poor choice if one parent is unavailable to you, while a later row may be immediately usable.
When two rows are equally accessible, passive skills can break the tie. PalworldGuide says offspring draw from the combined passive pool of both parents. That makes a pair carrying useful traits attractive for a planned Anubis build, but it does not turn the pair into a guaranteed passive transfer. Confirm breeding validity first; optimize the passive pool second.
What is the easiest Anubis pair?
There is no universal easiest pair. The practical winner is the valid combination for your installed data that uses Pals you already own or can obtain with the least effort. Palbreed’s filtered ordering is described as a data filter based on encounter floors, not a guarantee that its first result is easiest in every save.
Compare candidate pairs with three checks
- Version validity: Is the pair present in a calculator whose game or database version matches your installation? If the version is unclear, treat the result as unconfirmed.
- Availability: Do you already have both parents, or can you reach them more easily than alternatives? A theoretically low-level route can be slower if one parent is missing from your collection.
- Passive skills: Do either parent carry traits you want Anubis to inherit? A pair that supports your build may be more valuable than one that is merely convenient.
| Decision factor | What to verify | Why it changes the choice |
|---|---|---|
| Data snapshot | Calculator’s game version, database revision or update label | Breeding tables can change; an older shortcut may no longer be valid. |
| Parent ownership | Whether both listed Pals are already in your Palbox | Capturing or breeding a missing parent can outweigh any theoretical encounter advantage. |
| Travel and access | How practical each parent is to obtain in your current world | World progression and available areas differ between saves, so a community “easiest” ranking cannot fit everyone. |
| Passive pool | Useful passive skills on either parent | Parents can contribute passives to the offspring’s inheritance pool, making a slightly less convenient pair worthwhile for a planned build. |
Why do Anubis breeding lists disagree?
The disagreement comes from different game and database snapshots, not from a single settled universal count. Treat every total as a claim about a particular table and date.
| Reference | Version or basis shown on the page | Reported Anubis combinations | Editorial reliability for choosing a pair |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palbreed | Palworld 1.0 page; PalCalc v1.19.1/database v27 snapshot | 234 | Useful current-looking table; still verify against your installed version. |
| PalworldGuide | Game version 1.100.427 | 97 | Useful cross-check with an explicitly different data label. |
| PalworldCenter | Palworld 1.0.5 table | 233 in one section and 234 in another | Internally inconsistent; do not use its total as a definitive statistic. |
Palbreed’s page presents its 234-row figure as a 2026 page data snapshot tied to PalCalc v1.19.1 and database v27. PalworldGuide labels its 97-row table as game version 1.100.427. PalworldCenter labels its table Palworld 1.0.5 but gives both 233 and 234 in different sections. These labels explain why copying a number from one page into another guide can create a false sense of precision.
Because these references are unofficial fan databases rather than official Pocketpair documentation, their labels and totals should be read as dataset descriptions. If a combination appears in one list but not the current table for your game, stop and re-check before spending Cake or time on parent acquisition. A missing entry may reflect a changed breeding calculation, a database update, or a stale page.
What do I need before starting the breeding cycle?
You need access to a Breeding Farm, one compatible male parent, one compatible female parent, Cake, and an Egg Incubator. The farm and incubator are in-game mechanics; no separate product or external service is required.
- Breeding Farm: Both parents must be assigned to it at the same time.
- Compatible parents: Use the exact species combination confirmed by a current calculator.
- Cake: Keep the required Cake available so the farm can start its cycle. The references do not establish a universal quantity for every game setting, so follow the quantity displayed by your farm.
- Egg Incubator: The farm’s egg must be transferred here and hatched before you receive the Anubis offspring.
- Storage space: Leave room to collect the egg and the hatched Pal; a full storage area can make a successful cycle appear to have failed.
Do not substitute an unverified parent because it is easier to find. A convenient pair that is not in the current table will not reliably produce Anubis, regardless of how long you leave the farm running.
How should I check a pair before committing resources?
Run a short verification routine each time you start a new breeding project, especially after a game update.
- Note your installed game version or the version shown on your title screen or update information.
- Open a calculator that displays a matching version, database revision or a clearly dated data snapshot.
- Search for Anubis (Pal No. 139) and inspect the complete parent row, not just a search snippet.
- Write down both parent species and confirm that the calculator marks the result as Anubis rather than another Ground-type Pal.
- Check your Palbox for one male and one female of those species. If either parent is missing, compare another listed row before beginning a capture expedition.
- Only then assign the parents to the Breeding Farm and provide Cake.
This process matters because community pages can retain old combinations after the game’s breeding data changes. Version matching is more reliable than a guide’s publication date alone.
How do version labels affect an older breeding guide?
A guide can remain online after its underlying table has changed. “Palworld 1.0,” “1.0.5,” a numbered game build such as 1.100.427, and a calculator database revision are not interchangeable labels. Read the label attached to the individual pair list, not just the headline of the page. If a page names no version or database revision, use it only to generate candidates and confirm every candidate elsewhere.
Version matching also applies to forms. The PalworldGuide example is Univolt Cryst plus Moldron Cryst, not automatically the ordinary versions of those species. Enter the exact form shown by the calculator. A normal Pal and a Cryst variant can be separate entries, so replacing one with a similarly named form can invalidate the result.
Can parent passives improve the Anubis you hatch?
They can influence the possibilities, but they do not guarantee a specific passive set. PalworldGuide describes offspring as drawing passive skills from the combined pool of both parents. To pursue a build, begin with parents that already carry traits you value, then treat the result as a chance-based inheritance rather than a fixed transfer.
A practical passive-planning approach
- Inspect the passive skills on both candidate parents before assigning them.
- Prefer a valid pair whose combined pool contains the traits relevant to your intended Anubis role.
- Do not reject a valid pair solely because one parent lacks every desired trait; inheritance is not presented as a guaranteed copy.
- Keep the calculator’s breeding validity separate from passive optimization: first confirm that the pair produces Anubis, then assess whether its passive pool is worth using.
Changing parents for better passives can increase the amount of preparation required. Make that trade-off consciously instead of assuming the pair with the lowest encounter floor will produce the best combat or work traits.
What should I do if the egg is not Anubis?
First verify the pair against a current, version-matched table. If the result differs, the usual explanation is that the combination came from a different data snapshot or that one parent was misidentified.
- Recheck species names and variants. A normal Pal and a variant such as a Cryst form may be separate entries in a calculator. Use the exact form named in the row.
- Confirm both parents’ genders. The farm needs one male and one female; replace a duplicate-sex assignment.
- Compare a second current reference. If one page lists the pair and another does not, favor the table with the clearer matching version label and treat the conflict as unresolved until your game’s data is confirmed.
- Check for a game update. A recently updated client can invalidate an early-access recipe preserved by an older guide.
- Do not infer a rule from one failed attempt. Verify the row and parent forms before consuming more Cake or repeating the cycle.
If the calculator confirms the pair for your version and the farm still produces a different result, record the exact parent forms, genders and game version when seeking help. Those details are more useful than reporting only that “the Anubis recipe failed.”
Common mistakes that waste a breeding cycle
- Using a remembered shortcut: A pair that worked in an early-access table is not automatically valid now.
- Ignoring gender: Two compatible species are insufficient if both assigned Pals are male or both are female.
- Skipping Cake: The farm requires Cake before its cycle starts; placing parents alone does not complete the setup.
- Stopping at the farm: The farm creates an egg. You still must move that egg to an Egg Incubator and hatch it.
- Comparing headline totals instead of rows: The 234, 97, and 233/234 figures describe different tables. The pair row for your version is what matters.
- Assuming a ranking is universal: Encounter-floor filtering does not account for what you already own or what areas your save has opened.
- Expecting guaranteed passives: A parent trait enters the possible inheritance pool; it is not a promise of a particular offspring combination.
Are the published combination totals safe to quote as one number?
No. The available pages report materially different totals: 234 on Palbreed’s Palworld 1.0 page, 97 on PalworldGuide’s game 1.100.427 table, and both 233 and 234 in separate sections of PalworldCenter’s Palworld 1.0.5 page. These numbers describe different or inconsistently maintained datasets, so a guide should keep the version label beside the number instead of presenting one total as the game’s permanent count.
For your own breeding project, the individual row for the pair matters more than the database’s headline total. A smaller table can still contain the pair you need, while a larger table may include entries that no longer apply to your installation.
What is the safest overall strategy?
Start with the current calculator that best matches your game, choose a pair available in your save, and then decide whether passive skills justify a less convenient option. Complete the farm-and-incubator sequence only after that check. This avoids the two most common expensive mistakes: following an obsolete early-access shortcut and treating a community ranking as a universal fastest route.
In practice, save the calculator row or note the exact species forms before you begin. Then verify the opposite-sex requirement, place both parents in the farm, provide Cake, collect the egg and incubate it. If an update occurs before you finish, repeat the version check rather than assuming an in-progress plan still uses the same breeding data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a breeding guide from Early Access for my current save?
Only if its parent row is still present in a calculator that matches your installed version. Early-access recipes can disappear or change when breeding data is revised, so an old guide is a lead to verify, not proof that the pair remains valid.
Does every Anubis parent pair produce the same passive skills?
No. The parents contribute to a combined inheritance pool, so different pairs can offer different possibilities. Even when a desired trait is present in that pool, inheritance of a particular combination is not assured.
Why does one calculator show far fewer Anubis pairs than another?
The published tables use different game or database snapshots, and one page is internally inconsistent about its own total. Compare the version labels and the specific parent row instead of comparing headline counts.
Do I need to buy anything outside the game to breed Anubis?
No. The required farm, Cake and incubator are in-game elements. The essential outside resource is a current reference table used to verify that your selected parents are valid for your version.
Is Shadowbeak plus Blazamut always the fastest Anubis recipe?
No. It is an example listed by Palbreed, but no source establishes a universal fastest pair. The easiest route depends on which parents you already have, can obtain and can use in your current version.
Can I use Univolt Cryst and Moldron Cryst as parents?
That combination appears in PalworldGuide’s table labeled game version 1.100.427. Confirm that exact pair and those exact Cryst forms in a calculator matching your installation before gathering the parents.
Do both parents have to be Anubis?
No. The breeding tables list combinations of other Pal species that result in Anubis. You need one compatible male and one compatible female from a currently valid row, not two Anubis parents.
What if my pair appears on one site but not another?
Do not spend resources until you resolve the version difference. Prefer the table with the clearest matching game or database label, and verify the exact parent forms and genders in that current table.
The Bottom Line
Choose a version-matched Anubis pair that is practical in your save, use one male and one female at the Breeding Farm with Cake, then incubate the egg. Because community tables report different totals, verify the exact row before committing resources; treat passive inheritance and “easiest pair” rankings as possibilities, not guarantees.
