Its hard tail does not deteriorate even when cut off. Some believed these severed tails bring good luck, but for the innumerable Mau who were poached as a result, they were anything but.

Mau is one of the lighter Pals in the game — 70 base HP, 70 attack and 70 defense all sit below the Paldex median — so it is worth catching for its work suitability and its breeding value rather than for fights. Its damage is melee-weighted — 70 melee attack against 60 ranged — so Mau does its best work up close and loses value the further away the fight happens. No base stat on Mau clears the Paldex median; Work Speed at 100 is the closest it comes, which puts the whole case for catching it on its work suitability and its breeding combinations.

Elementally, Mau 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. It is cheap to keep. A food value of 1 is one of the lowest in the Paldex, so Mau works a full shift without draining the feed box the way a large Pal does.

Mau Work Suitability

GatheringLv 1#81 of 109
FarmingLv 1#13 of 29

Mau covers 2 of the game's 12 work suitabilities — Gathering and Farming — and Farming at level 1 is the one worth assigning it to. That ranks Mau #13 of the 29 Pals with Farming, so it will do the job, but it is not the Pal you keep the station for.

Mau can also be placed on a Ranch, where Farming Pals produce their item on a timer with no input from you — the cheapest passive income a base has.
