@Ash Kvetchum Moldron's apparently pretty dang nuts, as in "arguably the best possible main pal in the entire game" if you really tryhard with him. fire/earth is the best type combo in the game for resistances, ice/fire/ground/elec resist with only water weakness. not quite as broken as it used to be because there's actual legitimate water-type threats now. haven't given him a chance yet because this maid from a mutated egg is too damn cute and fits my playstyle and forced me into a dark team

also yeah grintale does work like that, i had one in my "literally just for breeding" team, "Wait this sounds stupid or overpowered does that work" is generally "yes" in palworld
