How do you reset stats with Memory Wiping Medicine in Palworld?

Answer

Feed a Pal Memory Wiping Medicine from your inventory to reset all status points you had manually invested into it, returning them so you can redistribute them differently. It does not affect the Pal's base stats, level, or passive skills — only the manual status point allocation.

Investing status points into the wrong stat on a Pal is an easy mistake to make early on, and Memory Wiping Medicine exists specifically to undo it.

Quick answer

Use Memory Wiping Medicine on a Pal from your inventory to reclaim all the status points you had manually assigned to it, then redistribute them into different stats.

Step-by-step

  1. Acquire Memory Wiping Medicine, generally from a merchant or shop.
  2. Open the Pal's status/stat screen for the Pal you want to respec.
  3. Select the option to use Memory Wiping Medicine on that Pal.
  4. Confirm the reset — all manually spent status points return as unspent points.
  5. Reallocate the points into the stats you actually want, such as HP, attack, or defense.

What resets vs. what doesn't

AspectAffected by Memory Wiping Medicine?
Manual status pointsYes, fully reset
Pal levelNo change
Passive skillsNo change
Base stats from species/IVsNo change

Why status points matter

Status points are a per-Pal system separate from the passive skills you get through breeding — a Pal earns status points as it levels and you assign them yourself, so mistakes made early (e.g. overinvesting in a stat that doesn't suit that Pal's role) can meaningfully hold back a combat or work Pal until corrected.

Combining with a breeding strategy

Since passive skills are the main long-term investment for a serious Pal build (covered in our breeding guide), Memory Wiping Medicine is best thought of as fine-tuning on top of a Pal you've already bred with good passives, rather than a fix for a Pal with the wrong skills entirely.
