Palworld has plenty of Pals for players to discover, and while some can be great fighters, others are essential for base work, like Digtoise. This tough turtle is one of the early-game Pals for mining, so here’s exactly where you can find and catch Digtoise.

Mining resources is one of the most important tasks in Palworld. It gives you the likes of Coal and Ore which are essential to progressing your world and obtaining the best gear and upgrades possible.

However, mining all of those resources yourself can be tiresome. Especially later on when a ton is required just to keep things running. To avoid running out you’ll instead want to utilize Pals in your Base who are suited to mining.

Though there are a few strong options, Digtoise is easily one of the best in the game, so here’s how to get Digtoise in Palworld.

Where to find Digtoise in Palworld

Digtoise can be found during both day and night in the two main desert areas on the Galapagos Islands. The easiest one to reach surrounds the Anubis boss fight northwest of the starting area, on the Twilight Dunes.

Alternatively, those who fancy long journeys can instead go to the very north side of the Dessicated Desert, where Digtoise can be found near the Deep Sand Dunes Fast Travel point.

How to catch Digtoise: battle tips

Digtoise isn’t the hardest Pal to catch and most players should have an easy enough time acquiring one. Simply chip down its health and then throw Pal Spheres or Mega Spheres until you catch it. Higher-tier Spheres are not recommended as Digtoise’s catch rate is fairly forgiving.

Those struggling to weaken it enough should consider using a Grass-type Pal as Digtoise is one of Palworld’s Ground types and therefore weak to them. Just be careful to not deal too much damage and kill it by accident.

How to breed Digtoise in Palworld

For those players who are not keen on hunting down Pals around Palpagos Island, you can use your Breeding farm and put two Pals together to make a Large Rocky Egg.

These are the Pal combinations that will possibly result in a Digtoise Egg:

  • Mossanda + Tanzee
  • Mossanda + Flopie
  • Nox + Penking
  • Woolipop + Penking
  • Woolipop + Cinnamoth
  • Killamari + Nitewing
  • Melpaca + Arsox

Keep in mind that you can breed as many Digtoise as you want and every one of them will have different Passive Skills, so you can keep hatching eggs until you find the perfect one for you.
