Unlike Pokémon, where every time you level up a Pokémon, all of its stats increase automatically. In Palworld, you take a different approach and can manually assign which stat points you want to upgrade first. This leveling system works for this game and is also flexible depending on your play style. However, even in Palworld, there are some stats that you need to upgrade before you can upgrade the others.

The three best stats to upgrade early in the game are:

Ideally, one of the most important stats in the game that you should focus on is Weight, as it increases your carrying capacity. However, depending on how comfortable you are with the game’s environment, you should upgrade your HP first. The higher your health, the better you can survive attacks from wild Pals, fall damage, etc.

Next you need to upgrade your weight and stamina hand in hand, this way you will not only be able to carry more stuff but you will also be able to run, swim or climb longer. Remember that you don’t have to upgrade your stamina all the time, once you reach a level where you think it’s enough and you won’t run out of it right away, you can focus on the weight.
