If you’re looking to explore the vast open world inPalworld, you’ll need a proper steed. We’ll outline the fastest and best mounts you may find in Palworld, both flying and ground, in a ranked list.
There are quite a few mounts available in this creature-collecting game, but some are just faster than others. Here’s a ranking of the best flying and ground mounts.

Palworld: Fastest ground mounts, ranked
Your first mount will probably run on the ground. You can find some pretty early-game mounts that are great picks, but once you discover more Pal types, you’ll find quite the array of rapid rideable Pals.
S-tier ground mounts
Overall,Pyrinand itsFusion-typePyrin Noctare probably the fastest ground mounts in Palworld. Once you unlock its saddle at Technology level 30, and gain a Pyrin,this should be the mount you go for most often. Otherwise, at a whopping Technology level 50,Paladiusis another fast Pal.
During the early game, you should get yourself a Direhowl. These wolves know how to run since their Partner Skill makes them move faster than most mounts. We also haveRayhoundon this list, which is another incredible ground mount that can run just a bit faster than a Direhowl.

A-tier ground mounts
While these Pals aren’t as fast as the S-tier mounts, they can still get you from one place to another swiftly. TheEikthyrdeeris a great early-game mount choice and is easy to catch. Meanwhile, you haveUnivolt, who you can get a saddle for at Technology level 14.
I’d also putFenglopeup here as a solid A-tier ground mount, although it’s not as fast as some of the other Pals. Even ifRushoaris a pretty low-level Pal, I found it decently fast when sprinting and it served as a nice early-game mount.

B-tier ground mounts
If you can’t get ahold of the S-tier or A-tier Pals, I’d settle for these three.Melpacais easily catchable during the early game, and it is pretty common around the area you first spawn into.
Relaxaurusis another decent pick for a ground mount, alongsideChillet. You can find an Alpha Chillet near Rayne Syndicate Tower, and it’s only at level 11.

Palworld: Fastest flying mounts, ranked
Flying mountsare the best for exploration, and there are some speedy flyers in Palworld. There’s one solid pick for the fastest flying mount, but there are still some other incredible options.
S-tier flying mounts
Jetragonis by far the fastest flying mount in Palworld, there’s no competition here. The only issue is catching it, as it’s an Alpha and has a pretty low catch rate. Otherwise, you could always go forFaleris, yet they’re pretty rare to find as well.
The last S-tier flying mount has to beFrostallion, and its Dark-typeFrostallion Noct. Both have incredible flight speeds, but they’re also difficult to catch, as they’re available much later in the game.

A-tier flying mounts
Since theS-tier flyers are pretty difficult to find,A-tier may be easier for you.Beakonis a pretty swift flyer, available to mount at Technology level 34. A little higher in level than that isSuzaku, although I believe Beakon is just a little faster.
You could also go forRagnahawk, available to catch around most of the volcanic region. Out of the three here, I’d put Ragnahawk in the number one spot for speed.
B-tier flying mounts
Finally, these are the flying mounts that you could go for, but they just aren’t as fast as the others on this list.Quivernis available to ride at Technology level 36, and out of these three mounts, it’s probably the better one.
Vanwyrmis a decent early-game pick for a fast flyer, ready to unlock by Technology level 21. By level 33,Helzephyris also good to take as a mount, although still not as good as Quivern.Nitewingis another good option for an even earlier-game flyer, but the Vanwyrm beats it in speed.
