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! The number of available creatures is smaller, but flying will likely become your main means of transportation sooner or later. That makes it important to focus on the best Pals and avoid spending unnecessary technology points on saddles. If you prefer to travel on foot, check out our guide to regular mounts: (Palworld Mounts: Best Mounts for Early, Mid & Late Game) . Otherwise, here are the best current flying mounts in Palworld to take 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 unlock level: 15
• Speed: 600 to 750

Nitewing is the first Pal whose saddle you can unlock for flying. You will have to wait until level 15 and rely on ground mounts until then. It is still worth it, since it takes a few more levels before new saddles become available. Nitewing appears in many places and is therefore easy to catch. It is relatively slow, which is fair given how early you can get it.

Vanwyrm flying mount: bonus damage to weak points in combat

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

Just a few levels later you can unlock Vanwyrm. It is a bit faster than Nitewing, and its Partner Skill boosts your damage to enemy weak points while riding. That is especially useful in fights and makes Vanwyrm a strong addition to your team.

Elphidran flying Pal: more drops from Dark Pals

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

Elphidran is found only in the first Wildlife Sanctuary. It is not necessarily faster than the previous Pals, but it shines against the Dark element. Thanks to its skill, Dark Pals drop more items, which helps when farming specific materials.

Palworld Mid Game: best flying mounts and faster travel

Beakon flying mount: Electric attacks vs. Water Pals

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

There is a bigger tech gap between the early mounts and Beakon, but the wait pays off. While mounted, Beakon converts your attacks to the Electric type, which is very strong against Water. It is also a clear upgrade in speed compared to early flying mounts.

Ragnahawk mount: Fire attacks and cold protection

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

Ragnahawk is a fast and powerful Pal. Its flaming wings convert your attacks to Fire, effective against Grass and Ice. It also keeps you warm in cold regions. At your base, it is very useful with Kindling and Transporting at level 3. A well-rounded Mid Game mount.

Faleris flying mount: fast travel and Ice drops

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

Faleris is found only in Wildlife Sanctuary No. 3, but it is worth the effort. It is slightly faster than Ragnahawk, making it ideal for quick travel. Its Partner Skill also causes Ice Pals to 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 flying Pals

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

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

Jetdragon guide: Palworld’s fastest flying mount with rockets

• Location: Mount Obsidian (Alpha Pal)
• Saddle unlock level: 50 (rocket launcher)
• Speed: 1700 to 3300

If you are after the fastest flying mount in Palworld, Jetdragon is the clear winner. Unlike other mounts, there is no saddle but a rocket launcher technology instead. While flying, you can fire rockets at enemies. As expected, this Pal is rare and legendary.

Selyne flying Pal: team buffs and strong stats

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

Selyne is not as fast as Jetdragon, but it excels in combat. Its strong base stats outperform many other Pals, and its Partner Skill boosts Dark and Neutral attacks. With high HP, Selyne is quite tanky. At your base, it is also suited for Handiwork, Transporting, and Medicine Production.
