Don’t worry if you can’t find some passive skills in this table. A few of these skills areexclusive to only one Pal. The “Lord of Lightning” Passive Skill, for instance, can only be acquired if you capture a wildOrserk. Similarly, the “Spirit Emperor” and “Flame Emperor” can be acquired bycapturing a wild LyleenandBlazamut, respectively.
