Added verified practical mechanics, costs and reward details while retaining existing rules
Pathfinder Talents belong to the player character. Active skills are used in Command Mode, while passive talents improve catching, combat, research, or creature development. Open the character's Talents screen to spend Report Cards.

These talents are part of the evolution requirements. The individual still needs to meet its other conditions, such as level, potential, or an encounter objective.
Some passive talents gain additional levels at later titles. The Talents screen also offers a reset that refunds spent points for a displayed Credit cost. Review the resulting allocation before spending the returned points.
Pathfinder Progression and Elite Training cover the promotions that open these tiers. Twining explains switching between character and creature control.
Use player active skills in Command Mode. The title is the earliest unlock; complete the relevant Elite Training promotion before selecting a newly available skill.
