Grintale
#70
NeutralNeeds Grintale Saddle equipped — without that gear the skill does nothing. It unlocks at Technology level 19 for 1 point, so a Pal caught early can sit unusable for a while.
Anything entering its territory makes Grintale's eyes light up. That is meant literally, not as a turn of phrase.

How to Get Grintale
Grintale is Neutral, so a Dark attacker takes it down fastest — and a Pal it resists will drag the fight long enough for it to heal or flee.
Wild Grintale spawn between level 17 and 48. Higher-level ones are markedly harder to hold — take a low one first and come back for the rest when you are stacking a condenser.
Its capture rate is 1.0, which makes it exactly average, so weaken it properly and throw from behind for the back-strike bonus.

Grintale Boss Rewards
Beating the boss Grintale once yields the Grintale Bounty Token. Holding it is the whole effect — it permanently raises the stats of every Pal on your team for as long as it sits in your inventory, so it is never worth selling.
The fight also unlocks Grintale Saddle, the gear that lets you ride or deploy Grintale properly.
Wild Grintale Level Range
Wild Grintale roam at level 17–48 out in the world — plan your spheres and party level around that before hunting one on the interactive map.
Where to Find Grintale
Grintale spawn locations in the wild — every marked spot is a known spawn area.
Most of them are around Cinnamoth Forest (11.1% of known spots), with smaller pockets near Hypocrite Hill and Lake Center. They come in groups of up to 3, so plan sphere stock for more than one.
Grintale in Base Raids
Grintale shows up in 4 raid groups that attack your base, at level 13–26 around the Sakurajima. Worth knowing before you settle there — build your defences around what actually turns up.
Dungeons Grintale Appears In
Besides its wild habitat, Grintale turns up inside one cavern, and takes the boss chamber in one of them. Caverns are the reliable option when the overworld roll is not going your way.
the boss chamber fight is level 27–29, and ordinary cavern spawns run level 20–23.
