Palworld Anubis Breeding
Work out how far your box really is from an Anubis.
Anubis has 234 parent pairs in the datamined breeding table, and each one needs two Pals that are themselves deep in the tree. Starting from Lamball, Cattiva, Chikipi it first becomes reachable at generation 21. That is the number most guides leave out.

Why the CombiRank average rule misses
The rule repeated across guides and Reddit threads is that a child lands between its two parents in rank order. Checked against all 82,944 pairs in the table, it holds 53.9% of the time.
That average flatters it. When the two parents sit far apart, the gap between them is so wide that almost any child falls inside it, and the test passes without meaning much. Split the same pairs by how far apart the parents are and it comes apart at the near end. For two Pals within 31 places of each other it is right 15.9% of the time.

| Distance between parents | Rule holds | Pairs |
|---|---|---|
| 0-31 | 15.9% | 17,152 |
| 32-63 | 36.9% | 15,392 |
| 64-95 | 51.9% | 13,344 |
| 96-127 | 65.6% | 11,296 |
| 128-159 | 76.1% | 9,248 |
| 160-191 | 84.4% | 7,200 |
| 192-223 | 92.7% | 5,152 |
| 224-255 | 98.4% | 3,104 |
| 256+ | 100.0% | 1,056 |
This is why the calculator above looks the answer up rather than computing it. On close-ranked pairs a tool built on the average rule would be wrong 84.1% of the time, and it would be wrong quietly.
The 234 pairs that hatch Anubis
The verdict above says catch whenever it cannot assemble a pair within six generations, which is where it stops looking. Owning one half moves you less than it feels like it should: even for the pairs that come available earliest, the slower half only arrives at generation 20.
One pair needs no plan at all: a male and female Anubis produce Anubis. That holds for the whole roster, all 288 of 288 Pals. Select Anubis in the calculator to see it.

The remaining 140 pairs are not listed because breeding up from the three starters never produces one of their halves. A starter box reaches 257 of the 288 Pals, and each of those pairs needs one of the rest, so it is a catching job rather than a plan. Put what you own into the calculator and it names the specific Pal you are short of.
What this Palworld Anubis breeding plan leaves out
The chain above is a minimum-generation route through the species table, not a full plan for an evening. Three things it does not model, each of which can make a real run longer than the generation count suggests.
Gender is the big one. The table pairs species, but the Breeding Farm needs one male and one female, and a Pal you hatched may come out the wrong sex for the next step. Every generation in a Palworld Anubis breeding chain can therefore cost several eggs rather than one, and the deeper steps are where that hurts, because by then you are waiting on a specific Pal rather than any of a dozen.
Cake is the second. One egg is one Cake, so a generation that takes four eggs takes four Cakes. Price the run first if the verdict above put you several generations out.
The third is storage. A chain assumes you still have every Pal you hatched along the way, because later steps breed the earlier results together. Releasing an intermediate to free a slot can cost you more than the slot was worth.
Questions
Can you breed Anubis in Palworld?
Yes, but not from a low-level roster. Anubis has 234 parent pairs in the datamined table, and every one of them needs two Pals that are themselves deep in the breeding tree. Starting from Lamball, Cattiva and Chikipi, Anubis first becomes reachable at generation 21. From that starter box Anubis first appears at generation 21, so catching one skips the whole chain.
What are the parents for Anubis?
There is no single answer, 234 different pairs produce it. A male and female Anubis also produce Anubis, which holds for every Pal in the roster (288 of 288). The table on this page lists the pairs you can assemble by breeding; the calculator reports a pair you can already breed, or the direct pairs you are fewest Pals short of.
Does the CombiRank average trick work for Anubis?
Not reliably, and not just for Anubis. The rule that a child sits between its two parents holds for 53.9% of all pairs, which sounds tolerable until you split by how far apart the parents are. For parents within 31 places of each other, the case you hit when breeding two Pals of similar tier, it holds 15.9% of the time. This page looks the answer up instead of computing it.
I caught one parent. Am I close now?
Usually not. For the pairs that become available earliest, the slower half only arrives at generation 20 when breeding up from the three starters, so owning one half can still leave the other a long way off. The calculator names the Pal you are missing rather than reporting a generic distance.
Where does this breeding data come from?
It traces back to the game files, extracted by PalCalc and repackaged as CSV by an MIT-licensed repository, then converted by a script that lives in this repository. Re-running that script regenerates the breeding figures quoted here, and a predeploy check recomputes each of them from the dataset before the page can ship.
