The Palworld suit is not an IP suit because whether or not Palworld was "cribbing" from Pokemon they were well within the bounds of the law. They don't even have to claim parody - their designs are their designs, despite the clear inspiration.
The lawsuit is over software patents, most likely the patents that Nintendo has for throwing a ball in a virtual space to capture a creature and riding on a virtual creature, aka absolute specious bullshit.
