No restrictions, fastest to catch Lovander any way possible. I just did it on stream in 1:00:27.46. I think this would be a very interesting category and I would love to see some different takes on strategy. Both main strats are heavily RNG based. Either you respawn at the northmost point and hope to find a megasphere on your way to the desert. .25% catch rate. OR you can try to build a base and hope fangirl is your first raid. I bet this could be gotten down sub 30minutes.
But Why Lovander, specifically? You could do this for every Pal if you wanted to. Like do it as Individual Level Board if we want to, but it would be a waste of space just to do 1 Pal with no real reason to do so. Like Humans and Lucky Pals are 1 thing, but a specific Pal with no real reason?
I picked Lovander for multiple reasons. For one, its funny. With Lovander being Pal 69, and the innuendo associated with it, I thought it would be an interesting category. Getting laid in palworld speedrun. The other reason I picked that pal specifically is because the only way to catch it is to either have it randomly raid your base, or you have to trek to the desert where it only spawns above level 20, which poses a unique challenge to try and catch one quickly, either by grinding up a strong enough team or by getting super lucky with a megaspere drop.
Buy anyways, I understand if it's not a compelling enough category. Since Palworld is such an open ended game I was trying to come up with something unique that would be attainable within a short enough time to make a compelling speed run. I really appreciate you taking the time to consider and respond to my message. Have a wonderful day.
