Quick answer: how to get Jetragon in Palworld 1.0
In Palworld 1.0, Jetragon no longer spawns at Mount Obsidian. It now appears as a Level 70 wild-only Legendary Alpha in the new Sunreach sky islands, at roughly (-553, -1332) on the northwest side of the archipelago, closest to the Azure Tapestry fast-travel point. To catch it, unlock Sunreach, fly in with an Ice-type Pal (Frostallion is the tested pick) and Heat-Resistant Pal Metal Armor, whittle its HP with poison or burn damage, then throw your highest-tier spheres — bring 15–30 Legendary Spheres. Do not kill it: it stays a wild encounter, so you capture it, you do not "beat" it for a reward. Everything below is current on the live 1.0.3 build (released 2026-08-12).
Jetragon is the game's flagship Legendary — the fastest flying mount in Palworld and the one Pal almost every player wants once they see it in the skies. The problem: the 1.0 full release (2026-07-10) moved it, and most of the top search results still send you to its old Early Access spawn. If you flew out to the volcano and found nothing, you are not going crazy — you are reading a pre-patch guide. This walkthrough covers the current location, the exact prep that works against a Level 70 Alpha, how its Aerial Missile saddle works, and whether it is still worth the trip in 1.0.
If the climb to 80 is the part you want to skip, our Palworld leveling service handles it on PC, Xbox and PlayStation, on your own world or a dedicated server.

Where is Jetragon in Palworld 1.0?
Jetragon spawns as a Level 70 Legendary Alpha in Sunreach, the floating island chain that Palworld 1.0 added above the Palpagos Islands, at approximately (-553, -1332) on the northwest edge of the region. It is a wild-only encounter — there is no lower-level version to practice on, and it attacks the moment you render in close.
Here is the trap that catches nearly everyone: in Early Access, Jetragon lived at Mount Obsidian, in the volcanic southwest of the base map around (-789, -321). The 1.0 update relocated it to Sunreach and raised its level from 50 to 70. Mount Obsidian is still an active zone — it is now where the Eternal Pyre faction stages base raids from — but Jetragon is not there anymore. If a guide points you at the volcano, check its publish date: anything written before July 10, 2026 is out of date on this Pal.
Because Jetragon lives on Sunreach and not in a Wildlife Sanctuary, you do not have to worry about the sanctuary "wanted level" system here — you can fight it openly.
How do you reach the Jetragon spawn?
You need two things before you can stand at those coordinates: access to Sunreach, and a way to get across it.
Step 1 — Unlock Sunreach. Sunreach is gated behind the Feybreak Tower boss, Bjorn & Bastigor (a Level 60 fight). Clear it, then take the teleport portal at the top of the tower to warp up into the sky islands. Until you do, Sunreach never appears on your map. Full walkthrough in our Sunreach guide, and if you still need to clear the towers in order, our tower boss guide covers all nine with their counters.
Step 2 — Fast-travel to Azure Tapestry. Once you have explored a little of Sunreach, the Azure Tapestry fast-travel point is the closest waypoint to Jetragon. Warp there, then head to the northwest and look for the small separate island at (-553, -1332) — Jetragon circles above it. (Coordinates vary by a few units between sources; anything in the -553/-556, -1332/-1339 range is the same island.)
Step 3 — Bring a flyer. You will need a mount to close the last gap, since Jetragon sits on an island detached from the main Sunreach landmass. Any high-stamina flyer works for the approach — you are catching Jetragon precisely so you never have to borrow someone else's wings again.
What level is Jetragon and what are its stats?
Jetragon is a Level 70 Dragon-type Alpha. Its base stat spread on the actively-updated wiki (with Game8 landing on the same figures) is:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Level | 70 (wild-only Alpha) |
| Element | Dragon |
| HP | 110 |
| Attack | 140 |
| Defense | 110 |
A word of caution on those numbers: post-1.0, stat databases do not perfectly agree — some list Defense at 120 or HP at 115. That is a snapshot-timing gap as different wikis re-index after a major patch, not necessarily an error. Treat the table above as the consensus, and expect small variance depending on where you look.
Two quirks matter for the fight. First, although Jetragon is Dragon element, most of its active moveset is fire-flagged — Spirit Fire, Flare Storm and Fire Ball — which makes fire resistance close to mandatory. Second, as a Dragon it takes extra damage from Ice and Dragon attacks, so an Ice Pal punishes it hardest.
How do you catch Jetragon?
Treat this as a late-game fight, not something to try straight off the main story. Here is the prep that actually holds up against a Level 70 Alpha:
- An Ice-type Pal. Frostallion is the community-tested pick — Ice punishes Jetragon's Dragon typing, and its kit pairs well with a Rocket Launcher for stun windows.
- Heat-Resistant Pal Metal Armor (Level 2). Because Jetragon's live attacks are mostly fire-flagged, heat resistance keeps you from getting melted before you land throws.
- 15–30 of your highest-tier spheres. Bring Legendary Spheres (some 1.0 guides also point to the newer top-tier sphere line) — nothing lower has a realistic catch rate against a Legendary Alpha, and running dry mid-fight means restarting the whole encounter.
The tested tactic: exploit the western cliff terrain to pin the boss in place, then apply poison or burn status for percentage-based damage that chips its HP regardless of your raw attack stat. Once it is staggered and low, switch entirely to spheres — chasing one more hit of damage risks killing it instead of catching it.
⚠️ Do not kill it. Jetragon is a wild capture, not a scripted boss you defeat for a guaranteed reward. If its HP hits zero, it dies and you walk away empty-handed until it respawns.
Struggling solo? On a multiplayer server you can bring a second Pal Tamer into the fight to split aggro and burn its HP faster — a legitimate way to make the encounter easier than intended. If you keep timing out or dying, farm the armor and a Rocket Launcher first rather than throwing away Legendary Spheres on a fight you are not equipped to finish.

What does Jetragon's Aerial Missile saddle do?
This is the whole reason to catch it. Jetragon's partner skill is Aerial Missile, described in the Paldeck as: "Can be ridden as a flying mount. Can rapidly fire a missile launcher while mounted."
In practice that makes Jetragon the fastest flying mount in the game, and once its saddle is equipped you can fire a homing missile launcher without dismounting — devastating for clearing camps, softening Alphas, or strafing bases from the air.
There is a catch, and it is where old guides are wrong again: the Jetragon Saddle is a Technology unlock, and as of patch 1.0.3 (2026-08-12) it unlocks at Technology Level 70 — Pocketpair lowered it from Level 79 so it now matches the level at which you actually catch Jetragon. Guides written in July still list 79. On the current build, if you are strong enough to catch Jetragon at 70, you are strong enough to unlock its saddle almost immediately.
Its Paldeck flavor entry sells the fantasy well: "Watches over Palpagos Island from high above. When calamity returns to the land, the earth will split open, and the skies will burn. It is destined to strike down the calamity in a flash of total destruction."
One thing Jetragon is not: a base worker. Its only real Work Suitability is a low Gathering rating — you catch it to ride and to fight, not to staff a production line. For that, see our best base Pals tier list.
Is Jetragon still worth catching in 1.0?
Yes — for two reasons. As a combat Pal, its 140 Attack and rapid-fire missile saddle make it one of the strongest mobile damage options in the game. And as a traversal tool, nothing beats it: the fastest mount turns every cross-map errand, boss run and resource loop into a fraction of the time.
That travel speed is exactly why Jetragon is a leveling accelerator. Once you are chaining catches, farming Alphas and running dungeons for XP toward the Level 80 cap, cutting your travel time between spawns compounds fast. If you are pushing for cap, pair this catch with our fastest way to level up in Palworld — or skip the grind entirely with a boost.

FAQ
Where is Jetragon in Palworld 1.0? Jetragon spawns in the Sunreach sky islands at roughly (-553, -1332), on the northwest side near the Azure Tapestry fast-travel point. It is a Level 70 Legendary Alpha. It was moved here from Mount Obsidian in the 1.0 update, which is why older guides send you to the wrong place.
What level is Jetragon in 1.0? It is now a Level 70 wild-only Alpha, up from Level 50 in Early Access. There is no lower-level version, so come prepared for a late-game fight.
What is the best way to catch Jetragon? Bring an Ice-type Pal like Frostallion, wear Heat-Resistant Pal Metal Armor (Level 2), and stock 15–30 Legendary Spheres. Pin it against the western cliffs, apply poison or burn for percentage damage, then switch to spheres once it is staggered. Never let its HP hit zero.
Why can't I find Jetragon at Mount Obsidian anymore? Because 1.0 relocated it to Sunreach. Mount Obsidian is still an active zone — it is now an Eternal Pyre raid origin — but Jetragon does not spawn there in the current game.
What level do I need for the Jetragon Saddle? On the current 1.0.3 build the Jetragon Saddle unlocks at Technology Level 70, lowered from Level 79. That means you can equip it about as soon as you catch Jetragon.
Can you breed Jetragon instead of catching it? Jetragon is a Legendary, so its breeding options are extremely limited and generally not faster than simply catching the wild Alpha. For most players the Sunreach capture is the intended route — see our breeding guide for how Legendary breeding actually works in 1.0.
