Hoodle has an even base stat spread in Palworld: 70 HP, 100 attack and 80 defense all sit close to the middle of the Paldex, with no stat far enough from average to build around. Its damage is melee-weighted — 100 melee attack against 85 ranged — so Hoodle does its best work up close and loses value the further away the fight happens. No base stat on Hoodle clears the Paldex median; Melee Attack at 100 is the closest it comes, which puts the whole case for catching it on its work suitability and its breeding combinations.
Elementally, Hoodle is Dark: it takes extra damage from Dragon attacks and deals extra damage to Neutral Pals — the matchup that decides most of its Alpha and tower fights.
Hoodle Work Suitability
- HandiworkLv 1#88 of 109
- TransportingLv 1#95 of 140
Hoodle covers 2 of the game's 12 work suitabilities — Handiwork and Transporting — and Handiwork at level 1 is the one worth assigning it to. That ranks Hoodle #88 of the 109 Pals with Handiwork, so it will do the job, but it is not the Pal you keep the station for.
Every one of those levels sits at 2 or below, so Hoodle pays for itself in the field, as a mount or a combat partner, rather than at a base station.

Where to Find Hoodle
Hoodle is found on the Palpagos Islands map, where the game data places 116 separate spawn points for it. Every one of them sits on the Sky Islands, so that is the only biome worth searching for a wild Hoodle. They are packed into a single stretch in the south of the map, around X -765k, Y 37k — land there and you are on top of the population.
Wild Hoodle spawn between level 65 and level 69, so the ones you meet late in a run hit noticeably harder than the first you catch. Night changes the picture: Hoodle uses a different set of spawn points after dark, which the Night view above plots separately. Beyond open-world spawns, Hoodle also turns up in dungeons.
