Bakemi is a small ghost Pal that lives to scare people and completely fails at it. Instead of screams, it leaves smiles behind, mostly because players find it too cute to react to. It joins Palworld with the Version 1.0 update, and while its full stat sheet is still under wraps, enough is known to plan around its arrival.
Quick answer: Bakemi debuts in Palworld Version 1.0 on July 10, 2026. It is widely expected to be a Dark-type, so bring Dragon-type Pals to fight it and keep Neutral-type Pals out of the battle.
What Bakemi is in Palworld
Bakemi has a small, squashed ghost-like body wrapped in a purple, white, and blue color scheme. Its whole personality is built around trying to frighten anyone nearby and never succeeding. Most people simply play along with a fake gasp because the Pal is endearing rather than threatening.
Pocketpair introduced it through a short comic strip where it sneaks up on Dr. Long-locks with a loud “BOO!”, gets no reaction at all, and then receives a pity fright out of sheer fondness. Its element has not been officially confirmed, but the ghostly design points strongly toward Dark.

When you can get Bakemi
Bakemi becomes available with Palworld Version 1.0, which is set to release on July 10, 2026. Nothing about the Pal can be captured or bred before that update goes live, so its spawn points and combos only become testable once the patch is out.
Where to find Bakemi
Exact spawn coordinates have not been confirmed by Pocketpair. Based on how the game handles similar Pals, a few areas stand out as likely hunting grounds once the update lands.
Dark-type Pals usually appear at night, and the Bamboo Groves and Marsh Island are the most consistent places to look for them. Bakemi’s ghost design also fits shadowy, enclosed spaces such as caves and ruins, which are worth checking after dark. Treat these as starting points rather than confirmed locations until the map data is live.
How to beat Bakemi
The cute look hides a real fight. If Bakemi lands as a Dark-type, Dragon-type Pals are your best answer, since Dragon deals super effective damage to Dark. Strong picks include Relaxaurus and Azurobe.
The opposite matters just as much. Keep Neutral-type Pals out of this battle, because Dark hits Neutral for super effective damage and you will lose ground quickly. Recommended Pal Spheres and a full difficulty breakdown will only be clear after Version 1.0 launches.
| Matchup | Effect on the fight |
|---|---|
| Dragon-type Pals (Relaxaurus, Azurobe) | Super effective against Dark — best choice for attacking |
| Neutral-type Pals | Take super effective damage from Dark — avoid using them |
Breeding Bakemi
Confirmed breeding pairs for Bakemi are not available yet, since the Pal is not in the game before its launch. Once Version 1.0 is live, offspring will follow Palworld’s usual system, where the game averages the breeding scores of a male and female parent to decide the result. You can test combinations with the in-game breeding calculator that already covers every existing Pal.
Note: To pair Bakemi with other Pals, you first need a Breeding Farm, whose blueprint unlocks in the Technology tree. Building it ahead of the update means you can start experimenting the moment Bakemi is catchable.
Can Bakemi be ridden?
Bakemi does not look like a mount. Its small, squashed ghost frame leaves no obvious place for a saddle, so it is unlikely to be rideable. Its gear and any partner skill remain unannounced and will be confirmed after the update goes live.
Bakemi is one of several new Pals arriving with Palworld’s Version 1.0 update on July 10, 2026. Keep this page handy and check back after launch for its confirmed element, drops, spawn points, and breeding combinations.
