Discover Shroomer in the Sakurajima Palworld update—an adorable, fungi-themed Pal found exclusively in the Mushroom Wetlands, offering unique base benefits!

Let me tell you, the Sakurajima update for Palworld hit the scene in 2025, and it was like a breath of fresh, spore-filled air. Fast forward to 2026, and this vibrant land is still the talk of every Pal-tamer's guild. The expansion brought a whole new roster of critters to befriend, and among my absolute favorites is the little guy with a giant red cap—Shroomer. This happy-go-lucky, fungi-themed Pal isn't just wandering around anywhere; oh no, he's a bit of a homebody, sticking to his favorite swampy stomping grounds. If you think you can just stumble upon him early on, think again! You'll need a solid base and some serious gear to even think about venturing into his neighborhood. But trust me, the hunt is worth it.

Where in the World is Shroomer?

Alright, listen up. Forget the open fields or those gloomy caves for this one. Shroomer is a creature of very specific tastes. You'll find him exclusively in the Mushroom Wetlands, that lush, boggy area way out east on the Sakurajima map. Picture this: mist hanging over marshes, weird glowing flora, and little red-capped dinosaurs just... waddling around. Yeah, it's as adorable as it sounds. They're not exactly hiding, just enjoying their mushroomy paradise.

Gearing Up for the Fungal Encounter

Now, don't just waltz in there unprepared. Shroomer might look cute, but he's a Grass-type Pal, and he will absolutely throw a tantrum if you disturb his swamp. We're talking dirt clods to the face, poison splatters, and some surprisingly powerful Grass-type specials. My advice? Bring your best, meanest Fire-type Pals. They'll make quick work of his defenses. It's like bringing a flamethrower to a garden party—highly effective, if a bit dramatic.

The Art of the Catch

Here's the tricky part. You can't just bully him into submission; you've gotta be gentle... ish. The goal is to lower its health carefully before you start launching your precious Pal Spheres. If you're having one of those days where every sphere just bounces off, I feel you. That's when you break out the specialty items. The Ring of Mercy is your best friend here. Pop that on, and it'll whittle Shroomer's health down to a single, precious HP point without knocking him out cold. It's a game-changer, giving you the absolute best shot at making that capture. It's like asking nicely, but with more strategic item use.

Why Shroomer is Your New Best Friend (At Base)

So you've caught one! Congrats! But Shroomer isn't just a trophy for your Paldeck. This little guy is a base-management superstar. Check out his resume:

Work Suitability Skill Level
Planting ⭐⭐
Handiwork ⭐
Lumbering ⭐
Gathering ⭐

But here's the real kicker—his Partner Skill, Swooshy Spores. While he's just hanging out at your base, his spores create this chill, zen atmosphere that slows down the sanity drain for all your other Pals. It's like having a walking, waddling aromatherapy diffuser. Your overworked Anubis and your stressed-out Jormuntide will thank you. The grind never stops, but with Shroomer, it at least feels a bit less frantic.

Saddle Up for Adventure!

As if all that wasn't enough, guess what? You can ride this mushroom dinosaur! That's right. Once you've built up enough trust (and collected the right materials), you can craft the Shroomer Saddle and take him for a gallop... or a waddle... across the landscape. Here's what you'll need to scrounge up:

  • Leather (20): Hopefully you've been ranching some Mozzarinas.

  • Fiber (30): Time to do some gardening.

  • Paldium Fragment (30): Get to mining those blue rocks.

  • Mushroom (20): Ironic, I know. Maybe don't tell him where you got these.

  • Refined Ingot (10): The forge is calling your name.

Gather it all, and you've got yourself the weirdest, most wonderful mount on the island. Cruising through the wetlands on your very own Shroomer? Priceless. So, what are you waiting for? Get out there, gear up, and bring this fantastic fungal friend home. Your base's morale depends on it!
