Jolthog — Palworld Paldeck No. 015
Where to find Jolthog in Palworld, how its Jolt Bomb partner skill turns it into a throwable electric grenade, its Generating Electricity work, stats, active skills, drops and breeding.
Jolthog No. 015
Jolthog is the Electric Pal at No. 015 — a spiky hedgehog that stores its charge inside its body and lets it go the moment something touches it. It runs your generator at base, and its partner skill turns the whole Pal into a hand grenade.
Where to find Jolthog
Jolthog spawns in the western Windswept Hills, day and night — the same starting region you begin in. It is passive; it will not pick a fight, but its stored charge punishes melee.
It can appear as an Alpha boss inside the Hillside Cavern dungeon (~Lv 13), hatches from an Electric Egg, and some Pal Merchants sell it outright.
Region: Windswept Hills · Time: day & night · Threat: passive
Stats & how they vary
Base values before IVs, passives and condensing. Melee 70, Shot 75; Game8 ranks it around HP #180, Attack #168, Defense #173 — floor-tier, exactly what you expect from a starter Electric Pal. It is not a fighter you build around; its value is the generator slot and the grenade. Type matchup. Electric is strong against Water and weak to Ground — bring a Ground Pal to catch it, and never send it against a Ground type. Work speed 100 is the series default; palworld.gg lists no separate field.
Work & drops
One job, level 1 — and it is a good one early. Drop Jolthog at a base with a generator and it powers your refrigerators, electric furnaces and production benches before you have anything better.
Electric Organ ×1, every time (100%) — the crafting bottleneck for early electrical gear, so a Jolthog you defeat or catch is never wasted.
Partner skill: Jolt Bomb
The "grenade Pal" — worth knowing what it is and is not.
Active skills
An Electric kit with two Neutral detours — light early, heavy by the end. Values from palworld.gg (post-1.0); Game8/wiki list lower numbers.
How to get more Jolthog
Jolthog is easiest to simply catch in the starting region or hatch from an Electric Egg — a base-tier Pal many Electric pairings produce, so there is no single "cheapest" recipe worth memorising.
Where it matters is as a parent: Jolthog + Pengullet = Jolthog Cryst (the Ice variant, No. 015B) — the only special combination in this corner of the dex.
The story of Jolthog
"It releases the electricity stored in its body when under attack. The voltage it generates exceeds 10 million volts, making it more lethal than any conventional heavy firearms when thrown."
The Paldeck is not being cute with "Don't Touch!" — the flavour text is the design brief. Jolthog is a battery with legs whose entire defensive strategy is touch me and find out, and the partner skill just formalises it: the most dangerous thing about this Pal is throwing it at someone.
Day 3. Poked a spiky ball in the hills. It discharged. I have learned the name of the Paldeck entry the hard way.
Day 5. Put it on the generator. The lights came on. Genuinely did not expect my first power source to be a hedgehog.
Day 9. Threw one at a Rushoar that was giving me trouble. It exploded. The Rushoar did not give me trouble after that.
Day 14. Bred it with a Pengullet and got an icy one. Same shape, different problem.
Jolthog, answered
Where do I find Jolthog in Palworld?
In the western Windswept Hills — the starting region — day and night. It can also appear as an Alpha inside Hillside Cavern and hatches from an Electric Egg.
What does Jolt Bomb do?
It equips Jolthog to your hand as a throwable; thrown at an enemy it detonates in an electric explosion, damaging and staggering it. Using it knocks the Jolthog out, so it is a burst catching tool, not a repeatable attack.
Is Jolthog good?
As an early base Pal, yes — Generating Electricity Lv 1 powers your first electrical machines. As a fighter it is floor-tier, but the Jolt Bomb makes it a handy catching aid.
What is Jolthog weak to?
Ground, because of its Electric typing.
What does Jolthog drop?
Electric Organ ×1, every time (100%).
Was Jolthog renumbered in 1.0?
Yes — it was No. 012 before Palworld 1.0 and is No. 015 now.
