Discover everything about Dogen in Palworld's Sakurajima update. Learn where to find, catch, and breed this high-defense Pal, plus tips for battles and best breeding combos.
The Sakurajima update in Palworld just dropped, bringing a ton of exciting changes—including new Pals like Dogen! While it may not be the most aggressive Pal out there, Dogen is a tank with high defensive stats, making it a solid companion for your adventures.
Whether you hunt it down in the wild or breed it at a farm, here’s everything you need to know about adding Dogen to your Pal collection.
Where to Find Dogen
Dogen isn’t just chilling anywhere—it’s exclusive to the new Sakurajima region. This area isn’t connected to the main map, so you’ll need to fly or surf your way over.
Best Spot to Catch Dogen
Your best bet? The Moonflower Tower area.
- Dogen can spawn day or night, so no need to wait for a specific time.
- It won’t attack first, but if you pick a fight, it’s got solid defenses.
- Pro tip: Use a Dark element Pal to battle Dogen—it’ll have the upper hand.
- Once Dogen’s health is low, throw a Legendary Sphere to boost your chances of catching it.
How to Breed Dogen
Not feeling the hunt? No worries—you can breed a Dogen instead!
Breeding Basics
- You’ll need a Breeding Farm (unlocked at Level 19).
- Pick two Pals (one male, one female) to breed.
- Once bred, you’ll get a breeding egg—hatch it in an Egg Incubator.
If you want to speed up the hatching process, use an Electric Egg Incubator or adjust the temperature to match the egg’s needs.
Best Breeding Combos for Dogen
With 160 different breeding combos, there are plenty of ways to get Dogen! Here are a few:
- Anubis + Foxcicle

Dogen’s Drops & Rewards
If you defeat or capture Dogen, it’ll drop Bones—which are super useful!
