Where to find Black Marketeer locations in Palworld

If you’re looking to expand your Pal collection in Palworld in exchange for a bit of coin, you’ll want to seek out Black Marketeers, NPCs who sell Pals for a price. Comparatively to regular Pal merchants, it seems like these shady dealers tend to have rarer Pals, making them worth seeking out.

You can catch these guys, but they’re all level 40 (or even 45 sometimes!), so unless you’re equipped with advanced Pal spheres and weapons, we don’t recommend trying it. Once you do catch them, however, you can put them in your base and they’ll sell Pals to you safely from home! You can even instantly refresh their shops by putting them in the PC and taking them back out.

Update (July 16): This guide has been updated with new Black Marketeer locations added in Palworld 1.0.
