Nitewing has an even base stat spread in Palworld: 100 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. HP at 100 is its most competitive stat, in the 58th percentile of the Paldex — solidly in the upper half, but not far enough ahead to be the reason you pick Nitewing.
Elementally, Nitewing is Neutral, which carries no offensive advantage of its own while still taking extra damage from Dark attacks — its matchups come down to raw stats and move choice. It is cheap to keep. A food value of 2 is one of the lowest in the Paldex, so Nitewing works a full shift without draining the feed box the way a large Pal does.
Nitewing Work Suitability
- GatheringLv 2#52 of 109
Nitewing is a specialist: Gathering is the only work suitability it has, at level 2, so it goes into a base for exactly one station and nothing else. That ranks Nitewing #52 of the 109 Pals with Gathering, 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 Nitewing pays for itself in the field, as a mount or a combat partner, rather than at a base station.

Where to Find Nitewing
Nitewing is found on the Palpagos Islands map, where the game data places 226 separate spawn points for it. Most of them — 96% — sit in the Grasslands, and the rest turn up in the Forests. The thickest band runs through the centre of the map around X -335k, Y 73k, with looser pockets elsewhere.
Wild Nitewing spawn between level 12 and level 16, so the ones you meet late in a run hit noticeably harder than the first you catch. It also has one fixed Alpha arena, marked with a diamond on the map — that Alpha respawns, so it is a repeatable source.
