Palworld flying mounts: best mounts for early, mid and late game

In Palworld, you can use Pals not only as ground mounts but also as flying mounts! There are far fewer creatures available, but flying will likely become your main means of travel sooner or later. So it’s important to focus on the best Pals and avoid spending unnecessary technology points on saddles. If you’d rather travel on the ground, read our guide to regular mounts: (Palworld mounts: Best mounts for early, mid & late game) . Otherwise, here are the best flying mounts in Palworld right now to take you to the skies!

Palworld flying mounts in the early game: best starter mounts

Nitewing guide: your first Palworld flying Pal and saddle

• Location: Forgotten Island, Ice Wind Island, Desiccated Desert (south), Sea Breeze Island (west), Windswept Hills (east)
• Saddle level: 15
• Speed: 600 to 750

Nitewing is the first Pal whose saddle you can unlock for flying. You’ll need to wait until level 15 and make do with ground mounts until then. It’s worth it, as it takes a few more levels before new saddles become available. Nitewing appears in many places, so it isn’t hard to catch. It is, however, relatively slow, which is fair given how early you can get it.

Vanwyrm flying mount: weak-point damage boost in combat

• Location: Bamboo Groves (south), Mount Obsidian, Feybreak (beaches)
• Saddle level: 21
• Speed: 700 to 850

Only a few levels later you can unlock Vanwyrm. It’s a bit faster than Nitewing, and its Partner Skill increases your damage to enemy weak points while mounted. That’s especially useful in fights, making Vanwyrm a strong addition to your team.

Elphidran flying Pal: more drops from Dark Pals

• Location: Wildlife Sanctuary No. 1
• Saddle level: 21
• Speed: 630 to 800

You’ll only find Elphidran in Wildlife Sanctuary No. 1. It isn’t necessarily faster than the previous Pals, but it shines against the Dark element. Thanks to its Partner Skill, Dark Pals drop more items, helping you farm specific materials.

Palworld mid game: best flying mounts and fast mounts

Beakon flying mount: Electric attacks against Water Pals

• Location: Desiccated Desert (north), Northern Rock Fields
• Saddle level: 34
• Speed: 750 to 1200

There’s a bigger technology gap between the early-game Pals and Beakon. The wait is worth it: as a flying mount, Beakon converts your attacks to Electric, which is especially strong against Water. It’s also a clear speed upgrade over the early fliers.

Ragnahawk mount: Fire attacks and cold protection

• Location: Coast of Mount Obsidian, Emberstone Plateau
• Saddle level: 37
• Speed: 800 to 1300

With Ragnahawk, you get a fast and powerful Pal. Its flaming wings turn your attacks into Fire, effective against Grass and Ice. It also keeps you warm in cold regions. In your base, it’s very handy too with Kindling and Transporting at level 3. An all‑round practical mount for the mid game.

Faleris flying mount: travel quickly and extra Ice drops

• Location: Wildlife Sanctuary No. 3
• Saddle level: 38
• Speed: 1000 to 1400

You’ll only find Faleris in Wildlife Sanctuary No. 3, but it’s worth the effort. It’s slightly faster than Ragnahawk, making it ideal for quick travel. Its Partner Skill also makes Ice Pals drop more items. At level 55, you can also unlock the saddle for Faleris Aqua.

Palworld late game: fastest flying mounts and legends

Frostallion and Noct: legendary Ice and Dark fliers

• Location: Astral Mountain (Alpha Pal near the lake), Feybreak (Noct variant)
• Saddle level: 48
• Speed: 1200 to 1800

Frostallion is hard to beat among flying Pals. It’s tough to find and catch, but the effort pays off. As a legendary Pal, it’s extremely strong in combat and excellent as a mount. While mounted, it converts your attacks to Ice. The Noct variant changes your attacks to Dark.

Jetdragon guide: Palworld’s fastest flier with rockets

• Location: Mount Obsidian (Alpha Pal)
• Saddle level: 50 (Rocket Launcher)
• Speed: 1700 to 3300

If you’re after the fastest flying mount in Palworld, Jetdragon is the clear winner. Unlike other mounts, there’s no saddle, but a Rocket Launcher as the technology. While flying, you can fire rockets at enemies. Fittingly, this Pal is rare and legendary.

Selyne flying Pal: team buffs and strong stats

• Location: Sakurajima (meteorite)
• Saddle level: 53
• Speed: 1000 to 1600

Selyne isn’t as fast as Jetdragon, but it’s outstanding in combat. Its strong base stats hold their own against many other Pals, and its Partner Skill boosts Dark‑ and Normal‑type attacks. With high HP, Selyne can take a beating. In your base, it also excels at Handiwork, Transporting and Medicine Production.
