Pachy is a medium-sized herbivore with a unique weight-reduction ability for gathered resources. It excels at harvesting large quantities of Berries, Fiber, and Wood due to its powerful melee attacks. The creature is commonly tamed for efficient resource farming in the early to mid-game. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
Pachy does not deal significant damage in combat but provides utility through its gathering efficiency and inventory weight reduction.

Taming a Pachy requires knocking it out using a ranged weapon or trap. The most effective food is Simple Kibble, which provides the fastest taming time. Mejoberry also works if kibble is unavailable. It can be immobilized using a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y.
Use a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it safely. The process takes around 10 minutes with Simple Kibble and no Narcotics needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Compare recorded corpse resource yields by harvesting tool.
Each harvest event rolls resources independently. Actual yields vary.
Killing a Pachy yields Hide and Raw Meat. The Hatchet yields the most Hide, while the Pick favours Raw Meat.
While ridden, Pachy harvests resources using its melee attack, gathering high quantities of Berries, Fiber, Wood, and Seeds. It gathers up to 10× yield on Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Rare Flower, Rare Mushroom, and Wood. It also collects Cactus Sap and Plant Species X and Y Seeds at 8× efficiency. This makes it one of the most efficient berry and seed gatherers in the game.
