Best Mounts in Palworld 1.0 (Flying and Ground)

A fast mount changes how the whole game feels. The right flyer crosses the map in seconds and lets you dodge boss attacks from the air. This guide ranks the fastest flying and ground mounts in Palworld 1.0 by sprint speed, tells you how to get the top picks, and flags which ones also pull double duty as strong fighters.

Quick Answer

The best mount overall is Jetragon, the fastest flyer at a sprint speed of 3300. The fastest ground mounts are Hartalis and Necromus, tied at 1900. For most players, catching Jetragon (a Level 70 field boss) is the single biggest travel upgrade in the game.

Best Flying Mounts

Flying mounts are the fastest way to travel and the safest way to fight bosses, since you can stay above their attacks.

Mount	Sprint Speed
Jetragon	3300
Panthalus	3000
Shaolong	2800
Eidrolon	2750
Frostallion	1800

Jetragon is the clear winner and the best mount in the game for getting around. Frostallion is slower but doubles as a top Ice combat Pal, so it is a great all-in-one pick for boss runs.

Tip: Jetragon is a Level 70 field boss. Catching it rather than killing it gives you the mount and a strong combat Pal at once. Bring high-tier spheres and an Ice or Dragon team.

Best Ground Mounts

Ground mounts matter for caves and areas where flying is awkward, and several are excellent fighters.

Mount	Sprint Speed
Hartalis	1900
Necromus	1900
Paladius	1800
Ophydia	1500
Pyrin	1300

Necromus is the standout: joint-fastest on the ground, a double-jump for gaps, and one of the best combat Pals in the game. Hartalis matches its speed with huge stamina (400), so it sprints longer between stops.

Best Swimming Mount

For crossing water, Neptilius is the fastest swimmer at a sprint speed of 1120. Most players lean on a flyer for water too, but a swimmer helps for deep-sea content and diving.

How to Pick Your Mount

Speed is the headline, but not the whole story:

• Stamina matters. A slightly slower mount with high stamina (like Hartalis) can cover more ground per sprint than a fast one that tires quickly.
• How hard is it to get? Jetragon and Frostallion are late-game catches. Use an easier flyer early and upgrade later.
• Double duty. Frostallion, Necromus, and Paladius are top combat Pals too, so riding one into a boss fight saves you a team slot.

Tip: keep two mounts on your bar, one fast flyer for travel and one combat mount for fights. Swapping is faster than re-teaming every time you hit a boss.
