Discover the ultimate guide to completing your Paldeck with 137 Pals, including legendary beasts and elusive unreleased creatures like Dragostrophe and Dark Mutant.

Hey there, fellow Pal-tamer! If you're anything like me, you've probably spent countless hours scouring every corner of the Palpagos Islands, trying to fill out that ever-elusive Paldeck. As of 2026, the official count for a complete collection sits at a whopping 137 Pals. That's 111 unique creatures and 26 variant forms, including all the legendary beasts like Frostallion and the formidable Alpha Bosses. But for the truly dedicated among us, the hunt never really ends. The ultimate bragging rights? A Paldeck filled entirely with Shinies and Alphas. Now, that's a grind I can respect.

But here's the thing that really gets my collector's heart racing: the ones that got away. The unreleased. Based on pre-release trailers and data mining from years back, there are still seven mysterious Pals that have been teased but never officially made it into the game. Pocketpair has been pretty tight-lipped about their plans, leaving us to pore over old clues and speculate. Will they ever arrive? Only time will tell. For now, let me walk you through everything we know about these seven enigmatic creatures, pieced together from years of community discussion and those tantalizing early glimpses.

First up is Dragostrophe. This one feels like a ghost in the machine. Its game files are surprisingly complete, painting a picture of a truly fearsome Pal. Born from the abyss, it's a dual Dragon and Dark type, described as a silent but deadly beast that attacks anything in its path. Its Paldeck entry is eerily similar to Astegon's, just swapping 'savage' for 'silent'—suggesting a deep, maybe even familial, connection between the two. I can just imagine the chills seeing this silent hunter soar across the sky.

Here's the lowdown on what the files say about Dragostrophe:

  • Partner Skill: The Black Winged Shooter – You can ride it and take to the skies. ✈️

  • Work Suitability: Transporting (Level 3). A real heavy lifter!

  • Possible Drops: Bones (3-5). Spooky.

  • Food Requirement: 8 out of 10. This is one hungry, high-maintenance dragon.

Next, we have Dark Mutant. Now, this Pal is... controversial, to say the least. Lurking in the game's code is this humanoid figure, black with purple claws and horn-like protrusions, bearing an uncanny resemblance to a certain legendary Psychic-type Pokémon. The plagiarism debates were fierce back in the day! Its behavior is said to be aggressively hostile, attacking players on sight, which makes me think it was designed as a potential legendary-tier threat. It's a pure Dark type, and some theories link it to Lunaris. Its skill set hints at a surprisingly versatile, if sinister, companion.

What we (think we) know about Dark Mutant:

  • Partner Skill: Teleki Explosion – Allows for safe riding. The name suggests some psychic or explosive power.

  • Work Suitability: Handiwork 3, Medicine Production 3, Transporting 2. A real jack-of-all-trades for your base!

  • Possible Drops: Unknown. A complete mystery.

  • Food Requirement: 8 out of 10. Another big eater.

Ah, Boltmane. This is probably the most talked-about unreleased Pal, and for good reason. It's an Electric-type creature with a majestic, lion-like appearance that immediately drew comparisons to another famous electric feline. But here's the cool twist: according to its data, Boltmane doesn't just generate electricity—it generates heat. The faster it runs, the hotter it gets, causing its mane to blaze a fiery red. At top speed, it's said to be so bright it can blind onlookers! This blend of Electric and Fire characteristics is fascinating and makes its comparison to Pyroar quite apt.

Here's the spark notes on Boltmane:

  • Partner Skill: Name Unknown – Confirmed to be rideable. Gotta go fast!

  • Work Suitability: Kindling 2. Perfect for keeping the furnace hot.

  • Possible Drops: Flame Organ (2-3). Proof of its fiery inner core.

  • Food Requirement: 5 out of 10. A more manageable appetite.

Now, we move into the realm of pure mystery. The final four unreleased Pals are little more than placeholders and concept art, with no confirmed names or elements. They exist as whispers in the data files, waiting for their moment.

Let me break down these spectral concepts for you:

  1. The Colossal Whale: Picture a massive, whale-like Pal with a beautiful cyan hue. The most striking feature is a large, jewel-like gem embedded in its forehead. I imagine this as a peaceful, majestic titan of the skies or seas.

  2. The Colossal Wyrm: This one sounds like a regal serpent. Described with a white body, accented by golden claws and spikes, and topped with a fluffy white mane. It sounds like a dragon fit for a king.

  3. Dragostrophe's Cousin: As the name implies, this Pal is related to the first one we discussed. It's depicted with a predominantly white body and light blue trim, suggesting perhaps an opposite elemental alignment or a celestial variant of the abyssal Dragostrophe.

  4. The Cyan Wolf Cub: This little guy is described as a wolf-like Pal with a cyan-colored body, drawing visual comparisons to Dusk Form Lycanroc. I can't help but hope this would be an early-game companion with a powerful evolution.

So, there you have it. Seven dreams for the complete collector. A Dragon of the abyss, a controversial mutant, a lightning-fast lion, and four mythical-sounding creatures of grandeur. As I look at my nearly complete Paldeck in 2026, these seven empty slots are a constant reminder of the game's unexplored potential. Every major update has me checking the patch notes, hoping to see one of these names finally appear. The community still theorizes, old trailers are still analyzed, and the hope remains. After all, in a world about catching 'em all, the greatest thrill is the chase for the ones that aren't even there yet. Who knows what Pocketpair has been cooking up? Maybe our patience will be rewarded sooner than we think. Until then, happy hunting, and may your Palbox always have room for one more!
