Some Passive Skills are Exclusive

Some Pals are the only source for certain Passive Skills. This makes Pals with these exclusive skills highly valuable for breeding as they must be caught to pass on the skill to other Pals.

4 Potential Tiers

As of the Feybreak update released December 23, 2024, Passive Skills can come in one of four different Tiers.

These Tiers affect how much of a positive or negative effect that passive skill will grant your Pal.

Capture Pal to Reveal Passives

Currently, the only way to reveal a Pal's passive skill is by capturing that Pal.

This means that for players to get their hands on the “perfect” Pal, multiple captures of the same species may be required.
