Psycho Gravity is a Dark-element Active Skill introduced with Palworld’s 1.0 update. It lifts a target with psychokinesis, holds it in the air, then drives it straight into the ground for a single heavy hit. With 700 power on a 30-second cooldown, it works as a burst opener rather than something you spam.
Quick answer: Get the Dark Skill Fruit: Psycho Gravity by defeating Zenara and Astralym on Hard Mode, then apply the fruit to a compatible Pal to teach it the move. The skill appears in that Pal’s active skill list once applied.
Psycho Gravity effect and stats
Psycho Gravity is a Shot-category skill, so it fires at range and lands as one concentrated impact. The in-game description reads that it “utilizes gravity to deprive enemies of their freedom, then slams them into the ground from high above.” Its short reach means you commit it when the target is already close and exposed.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Element | Dark |
| Category | Shot |
| Power | 700 |
| Cooldown | 30 seconds |
| Range | Short |
Because Dark hits hard against Neutral-type Pals but is resisted by Dragon types, save Psycho Gravity for matchups where the element works in your favor. The 30-second cooldown means you typically land one big shot per fight, so timing matters more than volume.

The skill comes from the Dark Skill Fruit: Psycho Gravity, and there is one primary way to obtain that fruit.

Pals that learn Psycho Gravity
Psycho Gravity is tied to Zenara and Astralym rather than the standard level-up pools, so most Pals will not pick it up simply by gaining levels. The dependable route to putting it on any compatible Pal is the Skill Fruit itself.
Grow more copies in a Skillfruit Orchard
If you want to teach the move to several Pals, plant the fruit in a Skillfruit Orchard. Once it matures, the orchard produces additional Psycho Gravity fruits so you are not limited to a single copy from the boss.
Pass it down through breeding
Parent Pals have a chance to hand their active skills to offspring. If a parent already knows Psycho Gravity, you can breed it onto a child Pal. You need the Breeding Farm unlocked and the ability to cook Cake to run this process.
How Psycho Gravity compares to other Dark skills
Among Dark Shot skills, Psycho Gravity sits at the top end for raw power. Several other Dark options share the same 700 base power and 30-second cooldown but reach much farther, which is the main trade-off you make when you run it.
| Skill | Power | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|
| Toxic Dance | 800 | 30s |
| Psycho Gravity | 700 | 30s |
| Dark Root | 700 | 30s |
| Dark Nova | 700 | 30s |
| Lantern Flame | 650 | 30s |
| Dark Whisp | 600 | 30s |
Use Psycho Gravity as a deliberate opener, not a filler attack. Since the long cooldown limits you to roughly one big hit per fight, pair the user with a sturdier teammate that can hold the line while the skill recharges.
