wrote most of it down for myself, I figured someone else might want it as well:

Prep/Pals Needed:
------------------
Turtacle
Digtoise
Incineram
Eithykdeer Terra
Warsect

Grintale (for partner skill)

Chain:
----------
Digtoise + Turtacle = Turtacle Terra (Breed 5 - 10 for Money)
Turtacle Terra + Digtoise = Shroomer Noct (First base pal, partner skill)
Turtacle Terra + Shroomer Noct = Prunelia (Second Base Pal, partner skill)
Prunelia + Turtacle Terra = Blazehowl (early on pal, level 5 kindling)
Prunelia + Eithykdeer Terra = Lulu (good base pal, partner skill)
Warsect + Digtoise = Warsect Terra
Warsect + Warsect Terra = Venusa (6 Handi, 6 gathering, good base pal)
Venusa + Warsect = Helzephyr
Venusa + Turtacle = Beakon
Beakon + Helzephyr = Helzephyr Lux (Next base pal)
Venusa + Warsect Terra = Lapure (6 handi, 5 gathering, base pal)
Warsect Terra + Lapure = Gilday
Gilday + Eithykdeer Terra = Celestdir (7 lumbering, good base pal)
Venusa + Lapure = Lumen
Lumen + Lapure = Frostplume
Frostplume + Celestdir = Whalaska
Frostplume + Gilday = Tetroise
Tetroise + Celestdir = Tetroise Primo
Tetroise + Tetroise Primo = Astagon
Astagon + Digtoise = Braloha
Celestdir + Tetroise Primo = Flaracle (replaces blazehowl)
Gilday + Tetroise Primo = Anubis
Tetroise Primo + Anubis = Eidrolon
Eidrolon + Tetroise Primo = Knocklem
Knocklem + Tetroise Primo = Ophyidia
Tetroise Primo + Venusa = Jormuntide
Tetroise Primo + Turtacle Terra = Mycora
Tetroise Primo + Digtoise = Genglar
Frostplume + Genglar = Sekhmet
Eidrolon + Knocklem = Solenne (lvl 8 handi)
Solenne + Eidrolon = Renjishi (8 kindling)
Frostplume + Beakon = Beakon Cryst (5 cooling)
Beakon + Solenne = Soothseer
Soothseer + Genglar = Genglar Ignis
Tetroise + Ophyidia = Dualith
Dualith + Soothseer = Dualith Noct
Dualith + Eidrolon = Blazamut
Blazamut + Lulu = Suzaku
Suzaku + Eidrolon = Eidrolon Ignis
Ophyidia + Shroomer Noct = Wumpo
Ophyidia + Lulu = Pierdon
Pierdo + Wumpo = Wumpo Cryst
Incineram + Turtacle Terra = Dynamoff

Celesdir Noct Chain:
---------------------
Eidrolon Ignis + Blazehowl = Moldren
Eikthydeer Terra + Moldren = Kitsun
Braloha + Incineram = Nyafia
Nyafia + Kitsun = Kitsun Noct
Kitsun Noct + Celestdir = Celesdir Noct

Bonus:
--------
Incineram + Fuack = Yakomo

gosh i LOVE the way breeding works in this game. i’m so glad it’s not rng & the devs never change that. it actually makes it fun & an additional way to grind for really really good pals WITHOUT eliminating the exploration, resource gathering, catching & other aspects of the game. imo it’s so fun to have a steady breeding chain going while i’m working on other things. i even dedicated a base JUST for breeding (although it’s as bare bones as it can get) which i never thought i’d do since i didn’t realize how crucial it is. i should’ve focused on breeding WAY earlier

Legit the best breeding guide I’ve found been using it since i stumbled on it a few days ago thank you so much for the info

Absolutely phenomenal guide, really appreciate the showing which pal does what job. My ADHD can't handle just thinking about it I gotta SEE it to stick in my head.

You can save a lot of resources and cakes by flying around Feybreak and collecting eggs. Pierdon, Ghangler, Sootseer, Helzephyr, Celesdir, Kitsun Noct, Prunelia, Warsect, can be found in Feybreak eggs. Knocklem, Lullu and Shroomish can be found in Sakurajima eggs. Blazehowl can be found in Mount Obsidian eggs. Beakon can be found in large electric eggs in the beginning maps.

it took me 1 week now to breed everything (female and male ) which i saw in that video.... ( uff nexttime i take vacation from work ) thank you

Thank you so very verrrrry much for this….think will keep me outta mischief for some time !…much appreciated your time and effort, working my way through your content…

In case he didn't mention, Aegidron can be bred.

Place two Eidrolon Ignis in a breeding ranch, a MUTATED egg from those two will always result in Aegidron
Since its from a mutated egg, it comes with decent passives and 2 star alpha variant right off the bat. (Level 8 mining)
Also insanely OP pal for mid game (I'm level 55 and my Aegidron is hard carrying)
Insane tankyness and dps

Youre welcome!

Gonna be a busy day on the breeding farm

I'm nearly level 70 from just exploring and running around blind, never even touched breeding.  There seems to be so much science behind it all and I'm excited to get into it once I beat the game for the first time.

Thanks again for EXCELLENT content! You put a LOT of work into these videos, and I watch them taking notes like I'm in school!  Luv Luv Luv! <3

Thank you for this video. I am going to start this today, super excited.

Great vid! Great job!

Great video. Even after the other 30 videos I watched, yours is by far the best.

I did this and started by pushing my grintale to 4 stars for 75% chance of receiving 2 eggs when picking one up, it's really nice, especially when receiving mutated eggs

BEST BREEDING GUIDE I HAVE SEEN OML THANK YOU SO MUCH

One practical split for part 2: separate “route to target pal” from “trait/stat optimization.” After 1.0, a lot of old pair lists still look plausible but fail at an intermediate result, so I’d verify each output in the chain before spending cakes. For people starting from an existing box, the shortest available chain matters more than a universal best combo.

Amazing video thank you

Been checking for this guide everyday since 1.0 release. Thank you very much! Appreciate your hard work.

thankyou so much for the hard work in doing this video!! :)
