Shaolong is a Dragon and Water Pal, Paldeck entry No. 192, and one of the 73 new Pals added in Palworld’s Version 1.0 update on July 10, 2026. It flies, it hits hard in a Dragon-heavy party, and it lives in the game’s toughest new region, so catching one takes preparation rather than luck.
Quick answer: Fly to the World Tree area and hunt wild Shaolong (levels 76–78) around the Alluvion Lakefront, then weaken it with Ice or Electric attacks before throwing a high-tier sphere. If you can’t win the fight yet, hatch one from a Huge Dragon Egg or breed two Shaolong together.
Where Shaolong spawns in the World Tree
Shaolong appears as a wild spawn inside the World Tree, the new zone introduced with the full release. It shows up during both day and night, and the easiest farming spot is near the Alluvion Lakefront, which sits close to a teleport point so you can reset spawns quickly. Wild Shaolong here land around levels 76–78.
If none are visible, fly a loop back and forth along the path to force the local spawns to refresh until a Shaolong appears. Spawns are shared with other high-level Pals in the area, so any of those points can roll into a Shaolong on a reset.
How to beat and catch Shaolong
Its dual typing gives you two openings. Ice-type attacks punish its Dragon side, and Electric-type attacks punish its Water side, so a lineup built around either element will carry the fight. Frostallion covers the Ice option, while Orserk or Grizzbolt cover Electric. Keep Dark and Fire Pals on the bench, because Shaolong resists both and will take extra damage as their attacks bounce off.
Breeding and hatching a Shaolong
If the World Tree fight is out of reach, there are two other routes. A Huge Dragon Egg can hatch into Shaolong, and breeding produces one through a single unique pairing. Pairing two Shaolong is the only combination that yields another Shaolong, so this route requires you to already own one.

Stats, work suitability, and riding
Shaolong’s partner skill, Azure Sovereign, turns it into a flying mount and raises its Attack by 4% for every other Dragon Pal in your party. That makes it scale hard inside a Dragon-focused team, doubling as transport and a damage dealer. The saddle to ride it unlocks at Saddle Technology level 77.

There is also a boss version of Shaolong. Auri and Shaolong appear as a tower boss in Sunreach, unlocked after clearing Bjorn and Bastigor at the Feybreak Tower, and that fight rewards Ancient Technology Points. The same Ice and Electric weaknesses apply there, with the added twist that Shaolong will flood the arena, so keeping a flying mount on hand lets you rise above the water and keep attacking.
