AI Analysis

Overview

Obtainable only in the late game, and it doesn't stand out in any particular role (combat power: below average, base work: below average). By this stage, better Pals are already available, so treat it as a breeding relay or Palpedia filler.

Hard to justify keeping it in a permanent slot. By this point you'll already have better options, so there's no need to force yourself to raise it. It's a late-game acquisition, so cover the gap with other Pals until then.

AvailabilityLate GameWild Lv 65–69

  • Night Shift

Strengths

  • Nocturnal, so it keeps working through the night without sleeping

Cautions

  • Work suitability tops out at Lv1, so you'll want to swap in a better Pal at the base
  • Defense 80 is in the bottom 25% bracket (80 or less), leaving it vulnerable to hits
