Pals with Hermit Sage
No Pal spawns with Hermit Sage as a guaranteed innate passive. It appears as a random passive when catching wild Pals — but it's a rare roll, so expect to catch many before finding one.
The most reliable path is selective breeding: if either parent has Hermit Sage, the offspring has a chance to inherit it. Stack it across generations by always using a parent that carries it — each child can inherit up to four passives total.
