Exact coordinates, level range, and a Fire-type counter for capturing the Grass Pal Bristla.

Exact coordinates, level range, and a Fire-type counter for capturing the Grass Pal Bristla.

Bristla is a common Grass-element Pal listed as No. 060 in the Paldeck, nicknamed the “Thorny Rose.” It roams the wild rather than hiding in a dungeon, so the fastest way to add it to your team is to travel to its main spawn area and bring the right counter.

Quick answer: Fly or run to the Ancient Ritual Site at the center of the map and check coordinates (109, -362) and (-20, -346). Weaken Bristla with a Fire-type Pal, then throw a Pal Sphere to capture it.

Bristla spawn location and coordinates

The reliable place to hunt Bristla is the Ancient Ritual Site, a circular ruin sitting in the middle of the Palworld map. It is easy to spot thanks to its ancient stone layout, and Bristla wanders freely across the grass around it.

The Ancient Ritual Site is roughly the same distance from most starting points, since spawn areas tend to sit near the world’s edges. A trip suited to levels 15 to 20 gives you enough survivability to fight and capture without getting overwhelmed.

Bristla also appears in smaller numbers in the Astral Mountains, Bamboo Grove, and Windswept Hills regions. Those pins are sparse, so the central ritual site remains the most consistent farming spot.

How to capture Bristla

Bring a Fire-type Pal to the fight. Bristla is a Grass Pal and takes 1.35× damage from Fire, so a Fire attacker chews through its health quickly while you keep control of the encounter.
Whittle Bristla down to low health instead of killing it. The lower its remaining HP, the higher your capture rate when you throw a sphere.
Throw a Pal Sphere while Bristla is weakened. If it breaks free, keep applying pressure and try again. A successful catch adds Bristla to your Paldeck and party.

Watch out for Bristla’s own kit while you fight. It uses Grass moves such as Wind Cutter and Grass Tornado, plus Ice attacks like Ice Missile and Iceberg that can freeze your Pal, so stay mobile.

Breeding Bristla as an alternative

Bristla hatches from a Verdant Egg. Once you have one, pairing it with Ribbuny produces the unique Grass Pal Ribbuny Botan.

What Bristla offers on your team

Bristla’s base stats sit at 80 across HP, Melee Attack, Shot Attack, and Defense, which keeps it modest in raw combat. Its value comes from its Partner Skill and its usefulness at your base.

  • Partner Skill (Princess Gaze): While in your party, it raises the Attack of Grass Pals by 15% to 30%. The buff does not stack.
  • Work suitability: Planting Lv 2, Handiwork Lv 2, Gathering Lv 2, Medicine Production Lv 2, and Transporting Lv 1.
  • Drops on capture or defeat: Tomato Seeds (1–2, guaranteed) and a Beautiful Flower (50% chance).

With its spawn point fixed at the map’s center and a clear Fire weakness, Bristla is one of the more straightforward Grass Pals to secure. Pack a Fire attacker, stock a few spheres, and the trip to the Ancient Ritual Site should end with Bristla in your collection.
