Palworld, the viral creature-collecting survival game from Pocketpair, has taken the gaming world by storm with its unique blend of Pokémon-inspired monster taming, crafting, farming, and base-building. One of the most sought-after Pals for new and experienced players alike is Herbil, a Grass-type support Pal known for its valuable healing abilities and excellent Medicine Production role. Herbil is not just adorable—it’s a key part of any well-rounded team or base setup.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly where to find Herbil, when it appears, and how to best capture it, with links to credible sources, maps, and gameplay insights.
Herbil is a Grass-element Pal known primarily for its Partner Skill called Photosynthesis, which allows it to passively heal nearby allies when deployed. In base-building, it excels in Medicine Production (Level 2), making it an essential Pal for crafting healing items and managing Pal health over time.
Element: Grass
Work Suitability: Medicine Production Lv. 2
Partner Skill: Photosynthesis – Gradually recovers health of deployed allies.
Herbil is also useful in Paldeck progression and mid-tier raids, especially for players focused on a healing-based support strategy.
Herbil is a location-specific Pal found in a limited region early to mid-game. You’ll need to venture to specific areas on the map where this Pal spawns both during the day and night, though daytime offers a much higher encounter rate.
Region: Verdant Brook / Eastern Windswept Hills
Map Coordinates: Around X: 212, Y: -473
Time of Day: Daytime preferred, rarely at night
Level Range: Herbil typically spawns at Levels 7–15
To get there:
Fast travel or glide from the Small Settlement waypoint (near the starting zone).
Head northeast toward the cliffs above Verdant Brook.
Look near the grassy plateaus and flower-dense hills; Herbil usually spawns in groups of two or more.
Herbil is generally non-aggressive and flees if attacked, so stealth or speed is important.
Use a Sneak Capture: Approach from behind with a higher-tier Pal Sphere, ideally a Mega Sphere if your level is low.
Weaken Gently: Herbil has low HP. Avoid high-damage fire attacks. Instead, use neutral Pals or low-level Grass moves.
Use Sleep or Bind Skills: Pals like Cattiva or Lifmunk can help immobilize Herbil to increase catch success.
Mega or Giga Sphere
Capture Bonus Gear (like the Hunter’s Bandana)
Low DPS support Pals
Once caught, Herbil can be assigned directly to your base for medicine crafting, making Medical Supplies, Low-Grade Medical Kits, or assisting in crafting Pal Essence Condensers.
Herbil’s real value comes in support roles, especially in large-scale bases or combat-focused squads. Here’s where Herbil excels:
Herbil works at Medical Workbenches, producing HP-restoring items like:
Medical Supplies (used in raids or dungeon crawling)
Revival Medicine (late-game)
Antidotes (with other Pals in the crafting chain)
Pair Herbil with other support Pals like Lifmunk or Vaelet to maximize efficiency.
If you deploy Herbil in battle:
Keep it in the backline during raids.
Use it with tank Pals like Mammorest or Grintale.
Its healing aura stacks with multiple support Pals, allowing for sustainable long fights.
If you’re deep into Palworld’s breeding system, Herbil can also be bred using compatible Pals.
According to Palworld Breeding Guide – Game8, Herbil is obtainable by combining:
Lifmunk + Depresso
Chikipi + Daedream
This allows you to acquire Herbil even if you’ve moved beyond its spawn zone. Be sure to raise your Breeding Farm level and use Cake to encourage egg hatching.
Herbil’s design is inspired by a succulent plant, which reflects its passive healing abilities.
Despite its cute look, Herbil has one of the highest healing passives among early-game Pals.
It plays a similar role to Chansey or Audino in the Pokémon series—great for health recovery, bad for direct combat.

Herbil might not look like a heavy hitter, but it plays a vital role in long-term survival and base health management in Palworld. Whether you’re crafting healing items, prepping for a boss raid, or just looking for a reliable support Pal, Herbil is one of the best utility options in the game’s early- to mid-tier progression.
Be sure to explore the Verdant Brook cliffs during the day, come prepared with the right Pal Spheres, and don’t overlook this leafy healer. With Herbil in your party or your base, your entire Paldeck will be better prepared for the harsh survival world of Palworld.
