Which Flying Mount is the fastest?

Having one of the best flying mounts in Palworld will help you get around the environment quickly, and can even help you easily scale tall cliffs or swiftly glide across vast bodies of water with very little effort.

Mounts come in a variety of types and sizes in Palworld, but we're here to talk about the flying mounts. These ones allow you to fly through the air with a few flaps of their wings. Your first task is catching one, then you'll need to put some effort in to unlock and then make the equipment you'll need to be able to hang on.

There are multiple Pals that can do this, but here are our picks for the best flying mounts in Palworld.

Best Flying Mounts in Palworld

The flying mount that best suits you is ultimately up to how you want to build your on-hand team, what kind of battles you want to use the mount for, and generally how fast you want them to be or how powerful you need them to be.

For our list, we've looked at which Pals find a good balance of all of these factors to make them good mounts that are worth the precious slot in your team.

The best flying mount in Palworld is Jetragon. If you can't catch this flying Pal yet, then here's a list of our top flying Pals in Palworld (Jetragon is, of course, at the top):

Jetragon

Jetragon is one of the hardest Pals to get your hands on in the game, you're unlikely to see it in the early stages of the game and hanging around any of the lower Level starting areas. We've also found that Jetragons (at the moment) are mostly around as boss battles instead of general capture opportunities.

The recipe needed for mounting Jetragon will only unlock at Level 50 in your Technology tree once you catch this Pal.

Quivern

Quivern is a Dragon-type Pal. The Level 23 Alpha variant can be captured at the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant. We've had this Pal for a while now and its large wingspan is indicative of its natural speed. It's not as fast as the legendary Jetragon, but Quivern does stand out amongst other flying mounts.

Also, the Alpha Quivern comes with strong base attacks, such as Acid Rain, that can easily knock down both human and Pal enemies in a single hit.

Vanwyrm

We incubated an egg to hatch out Vanwyrm, but we did start to encounter some to the north of the starting area in the lush forest just before Twilight Dunes. Vanwyrm is a Fire-type and a Dark-type, which means you get the benefit of two Pals in one. It's also got a decent flight speed and stamina - especially when you upgrade it using Pal Souls.

The saddle for Vanwyrm unlocks at Level 21 in the Technology tree after you capture one.

Ragnahawk

Ragnahwak is a Fire-type Pal and we encountered our first one north west of the Small Settlement near the starting area. They do pack a punch though, so if you're planning on catching one we recommend taking some time to prepare and taking a Water-type with you, as Fire-types are weak against them.

So far, we've mostly found Ragnahawks around Mount Obsidian - but be careful, most Pals in this region are Level 25 or above.

To mount a Ragnahawk you need to unlock its saddle recipe in the Technology tree after catching one.

Beakon

We got our zappy Pal through incubating a large egg, but you can encounter wild Beakons in the mid to high-Level areas of the map. This does mean that you will need to travel quite a way from the original spawn point to find one most of the time. Beakon is an Electric-type.

The saddle recipe for Beakon unlocks at Level 34 in the Technology tree after obtaining this Pal.

Helzephyr

Taking the final place on our list is the dazzling Helzephyr that positively lights up the sky at night. No, seriously, it glows. This Pal is a Dark-type and riding it will add Dark-type damage to your attacks.

We encountered our first Helzephyr north east of the starting point, in the lush forest and around the cliffs facing Marsh Island. You can hatch this Pal from an egg too if battling it seems daunting (they're quite strong).

To mount a Helzephyr, you'll need to unlock the saddle recipe in the Technology tree by catching one.
