There are plenty of things that changed as we moved into the full launch of Palworld in July 2026, after a long while in early access, but one of those that might matter most if you're going for Palpedia completion is that Tombat no longer has any kind of set spawn location. If you're looking to bring along a Pal that's able to detect all kinds of helpful goodies for you as you trek through the wilds of Palpagos Island, then you'll want to find a Tombat in Palworld 1.0, so here's where you'd do well to begin your search. Where To Find Tombat If you're looking for one of the more mischievous Pals in the Palpedia, then Tombat is definitely the one for you. A Dark Pal that'll be effective when dealing with any kind of Neutral Pals as you explore, it's more than worth the effort to capture a Tombat of your own. In the full version of Palworld, you'll be able to find Tombat as a cavern boss when you go through optional dungeons in specific areas of the Palpagos Islands, but only if you go in to fight it during the night, since it's a nocturnal Pal and will not appear during the daytime hours. You can find Tombat as the alpha Pal in dungeons in the following areas:o In the autumn woods area in the northwestern area around the starting space, where you'll be exploring before fighting the Rayne Syndicate Tower. In the hilly desert space in the same biome, south of the red trees in the autumn wood area. Around the north, west, and south sides of Marsh Island, to the northeast of where you start the game. If you'd rather hatch your Tombat, you can try to do so by incubating a Large Dark Egg you find hidden across the same areas of the map. You may also encounter Black Marketers around the map that may feature one of them for sale. Tombat's Stats In Palworld 1.0 Palpedia Number No. 52 Elemental Type Dark Partner Skill Ultrasonic Sensor: When activated, Tombat uses ultrasonic waves to detect nearby dungeons, treasure chests, and scrap. Work Suitability Gathering: Lv. 2 Mining: Lv. 3 Transporting: Lv. 2 Once you've gotten your Tombat in Palworld, putting it into your party when you next go out exploring will be a massive boost to how effectively you locate treasure, since Tombat's Partner Skill can find it all on your behalf. Summon your Tombat and manually ask it to use Ultrasonic Sensor to scan your immediate surroundings. If there are any dungeons for you to venture into for loot, treasure chests hidden among the nature in the area, or collectible scrap piles, the ability will highlight them for you for even easier treasure access.
