Paldeck description
With the power of shadows, it produces arcane phenomena. It prefers to eat food raw and is particularly hostile towards Wixen.
Wild and Alpha markers show where this Pal appears, with its level range, group size, and active time for each spawn pattern.
All 615 mapped locations are represented. Dense nearby points are grouped into 146 readable markers; open the full map to zoom into every individual position.
The current map snapshot contains 615 wild or Alpha positions for this entry. Open the map above for spawn levels, group sizes, worlds, and active time; use the breeding guide for alternate routes.

The breeding graph contains 443 parent pairs including the same-species result. Open the guide to inspect every pair; “recommended” is a site convenience, not an official game ranking.
Data-backed field notes
Katress is a Dark entry with 90 base HP, 105 ranged attack, and 90 defense. Read together, those values make Ranged attack its clearest statistical feature, currently in the middle range of the verified roster. The analysis below combines the raw profile with 3 work roles, 615 mapped encounter points, and 442 mixed-species parent combinations. It is a practical interpretation of the current data rather than an official tier, a promise about one individual Pal, or text copied from the Paldeck.

Katress does not show a single extreme across the three headline values: 90 HP, 105 ranged attack, and 90 defense stay close enough that the profile should be judged by role and skill access instead of one oversized number. Its best relative value is Ranged attack at 105. A balanced baseline can be easier to build around because it avoids an obvious statistical hole, but it also means the Pal may need a strong partner skill, favorable element, useful active-skill set, or carefully inherited passives to outperform a specialist in the same job.
The Dark typing tells you which elemental identity to investigate, but this page deliberately does not infer a final matchup chart or damage rotation from typing alone. Katress also has 100 configured stamina and 100 support, two useful context values that should not be mistaken for direct DPS. Before spending rare souls or a long passive-breeding chain, compare the active skills and partner-skill effect in your current game version, then use these extracted base numbers as the stable foundation for that decision.
At a base, Katress can perform Handiwork Lv. 3, Medicine Production Lv. 3, and Transporting Lv. 2. Its highest listed assignment is Handiwork at level 3, across 3 total job types. That makes the top role the first place to test it, while the lower-level roles may be useful backup or may cause unwanted task switching depending on your base layout. A food need of 4 and configured transport speed of 292 add operating context, but neither number proves hourly output by itself. Put the Pal near the station you actually want staffed, watch for pathing and breaks, and compare completed work over a real production cycle before replacing a focused worker.
The verified map snapshot contains 615 encounter points for Katress: 615 wild and 0 Alpha positions across 1 mapped world section(s). Its profile is marked nocturnal for nocturnal behavior. Use the map to compare level ranges, group sizes, and active times rather than choosing the nearest marker blindly; a direct capture can save several Cakes when you only need the species, while breeding can be better when parent passives or a controlled lineage matter. Mapped points describe the current dataset, not a guarantee that every event, dungeon, raid, merchant, or patch-specific acquisition route is represented.
Katress has 442 mixed-species combinations using 217 distinct parent species in the audited graph. A practical first pair to inspect is Croajiro Noct + Kingpaca; it is surfaced by a low combined Paldeck-number heuristic, not by a claim that those parents have the easiest spawns or best passives. The species breeding-power value is 2040, which helps resolve formula results but is not a combat score. Its configured sex split is 50% male and 50% female (close to balanced), so repeat hatches may be needed before a same-species line has the genders you want. Choose the direct pair already closest to your Palbox and passive goal, then move to same-species breeding once the target line is established.
The best reason to invest in Katress is a plan that actually uses its strongest measured feature—Ranged attack at 105—or its leading base role, Handiwork Lv. 3. The page records 615 mapped encounter points and 442 mixed breeding routes, so acquisition flexibility should be weighed alongside combat and work value. A Pal with excellent numbers can still be the wrong project when its role duplicates a finished team member; a modest profile can be worthwhile when it fills a missing element, job, passive pipeline, or Paldeck objective. Decide on one purpose first, then evaluate the individual hatch or capture against that purpose.
Method note: quartile labels use all 299 profiles in the site dataset verified on August 5, 2026. They compare unmodified species values only. The interpretation is written from those values, mapped spawn evidence, work rows, and the current breeding graph; it does not claim hidden play-test results or replace current patch notes.
