Where the Electric bear boss spawns, how to catch it, its drops, and the minigun it unlocks in Palworld 1.0.

Grizzbolt is the No. 185 Electric Pal in Palworld, the friendly-looking bear whose temperament flips the moment it picks up a minigun. In the 1.0 build it is no longer a casual wild encounter. It now shows up as a sanctuary boss, so getting one means preparing for a fight before you throw a sphere.

Quick answer: Fly or swim to the No. 1 Wildlife Sanctuary on the southern edge of the map, bring a Ground-type team around Level 30 or higher, whittle Grizzbolt down to low HP, then capture it with a Hyper Sphere or better. It can also hatch from a Huge Electric Egg.

Where to find Grizzbolt in Palworld 1.0

Grizzbolt lives on the No. 1 Wildlife Sanctuary, the island sitting along the map’s southern edge. These sanctuaries are now sealed behind barriers, and powerful Pals like Grizzbolt and Astegon appear as bosses inside them. To reach the island, you need a flying mount or a swimming Pal such as Surfent, since there is no land route.

It also roams the World Tree, the late-game zone that opens after you defeat all eight tower bosses. Grizzbolt spawns there during both day and night, so the time of day does not gate the encounter.


How to catch Grizzbolt

Grizzbolt is an Electric Pal, which means Ground attacks hit it hardest. Build a Ground team and go in expecting a boss-length fight rather than a quick knockout.

Bring Ground-type attackers. Anubis, Knocklem, Reptyro Cryst, and Ice Reptyro all deal bonus damage and resist Grizzbolt’s lightning moves.
Come in at Level 30 or above and pack Hyper Spheres or a higher tier. Lower spheres will struggle against a boss-level Grizzbolt.
Wear its HP bar down as low as you can without killing it, then throw. You know the capture worked when the sphere locks shut and Grizzbolt is added to your party or box with its Paldeck entry filled in.

Hatch Grizzbolt from a Huge Electric Egg

If you would rather not fight for one, Grizzbolt hatches from a Huge Electric Egg. These eggs appear as interactable objects across the islands, and you can also produce them at a Breeding Farm. Place the egg in an Egg Incubator and wait for it to hatch. Grizzbolt is one of the Pals that comes out of a Huge Electric Egg.

Stats, work suitability, and tier ranking

Grizzbolt is a large, sturdy Pal built more for base work and tanking than for raw speed. Its base stats sit at 105 HP, 100 Attack, and 100 Defense. At the Level 80 cap, those figures scale to roughly 5,100–6,360 HP, 700–880 Attack, and 650–830 Defense depending on its hidden IVs.

That Level 5 electricity rating is the standout, making Grizzbolt a strong pick for powering a late-game base. Its rankings reflect that role. It lands in A Tier as a late-game base Pal, B Tier for combat, and C Tier as a ground mount.


The Grizzbolt’s Minigun unlock

Grizzbolt’s partner skill lets you ride it and fire a minigun while mounted, which is where the Paldeck note about its personality change comes in. Adding Grizzbolt to your Paldeck also unlocks Grizzbolt’s Minigun, a weapon you can then craft at the Pal Gear Workbench. That gives you a reason to grab one even if you already have stronger Electric options for base duty.

Note: Ground Pals counter Grizzbolt both when you catch it and when you ride against it, so the same team you use for the capture doubles as its best hard counter later.
