An utterly unimpressed, continuously grumpy expression, paired with a complete lack of motivation for work are what make Depressos stand out.

Despite not being particularly powerful in any respect, Depressos have grown very popular among players worldwide for their comically disgruntled appearance and relatable attitude to life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Depresso is my spirit pal <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Palworld?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Palworld<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pMpnyheG27\">pic.twitter.com\/pMpnyheG27<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Light (@LightYTOffical) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LightYTOffical\/status\/1750766261758230686?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 26, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other Dark elemental types, Depressos look anything but friendly, with their eyes perpetually forming an angry glare. But recently, they\u2019ve been especially popular for the lack of effort they put into labor \u2013 Depressos have a natural aptitude for mining, but when put to the task, they barely seem to move their pickaxe. The comparison to a hard-working Cattiva seen below really puts things into perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"qme\" dir=\"ltr\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N5JzzGQdxs\">pic.twitter.com\/N5JzzGQdxs<\/a><\/p>&mdash; BierBetterBeer (@bierbetterbeer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bierbetterbeer\/status\/1750917757774725199?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 26, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the Depresso\u2019s lazy-looking movements should not be taken at face value, as its actual work efficiency seems to be the same as &nbsp;other Pals with a level 1 mining aptitude. Perhaps Depresso\u2019s talent lies in doing less to achieve more. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, Depressos have the Caffeine Inoculation Partner Skill (they were named after the \u201cmore espresso, less depresso\u201d meme). When activated, this skill causes the Depresso to ingest a large amount of energy drinks, which drastically increases its movement speed for a limited time. It seems Depressos can only work hard when on a Caffeine high, which sounds painfully familiar. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to their Paldeck Entry, Depressos tend to have few friends due to their grouchy expressions, even though they are actually kindhearted. They can even be spotted feeding Vixy who have strayed from their packs, which suggests they have a hidden compassionate nature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240127-280302-002.jpg\" alt=\"Depresso in Palworld\" class=\"wp-image-26360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240127-280302-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240127-280302-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240127-280302-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/20240127-280302-002-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this has likely contributed to Depressos being one of the most popular choices for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%E3%83%B3%E3%83%80%E3%82%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%83%A9&amp;src=typed_query&amp;f=top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">memes and fanart,<\/a> with some even featuring anthropomorphized\/human versions of the Pal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palworld is available for the PC (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1623730\/Palworld\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-us\/games\/store\/palworld-game-preview\/9nkv34xdw014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.&nbsp;Amber V based on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20240127-280302\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20240127-280302\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">original Japanese article<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20240110-278572\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;<\/a>(original article\u2019s publication date: <\/em>2024-01-27 15:04<em>&nbsp;JST)&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Among Palworld&#8217;s many breathtaking Pals, Depressos have been growing particularly popular for their perpetual lack of motivation and joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":26358,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-26351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
