The dark counterpart of many Pals. Noct forms gain Dark element and lower Power Values, often making them harder to breed but stronger in combat.

Earth-infused variants gain Ground element and shift their strengths toward defense and mining abilities. Ideal for base work.

Cryst

Frozen variants with Ice element. Cryst Pals often have unique breeding interactions and are essential for creating certain legendary chains.

Aqua

Water-adapted forms. They swap into the Water element, altering both combat matchups and the eggs they produce. Great for breeding water specialists.

Electrified variants that gain the Electric element. Lux forms are often faster and perfect for breeding powerful mounts.
