Cake is made in a Cooking Pot using 5 Flour, 8 Red Berries, 7 Milk, 8 Eggs, and 2 Honey.
If you place a Cake inside the dedicated box attached to the Breeding Farm, the expiration timer stops, preventing it from spoiling.
The easiest way to get Honey is to capture a Beegarde and assign it to a Ranch at your base.
No, Pals do not evolve. However, you can breed specific combinations to create "Fusion" variants (like Dyndosom Lux).
Legendary Pals (like Jetragon or Frostallion) can only be bred by pairing two of the same species. You cannot "breed up" to a Legendary using common Pals.
The offspring's stats and passive skills are inherited from the parents, though there is a random chance for new mutations to occur.
The most efficient way to level up is to capture 10 of every Pal species. This grants a massive "Capture Bonus" XP reward.

It defines what tasks a Pal can do at a base (e.g., Kindling, Watering, Planting). Higher levels (1–4) mean the Pal works faster.
You can find small blue rocks on the ground, mine Paldium deposits, or put Stone into a Crusher to produce them.
There is no "move" button. You must dismantle your Palbox and rebuild it at a new location. Resources used to build the Palbox are refunded.
