If you're talking about Panthalus I'm guessing you haven't engaged too much with some combination of condensing, pal souls, passive abilities, friendship, and/or stat potentials - combined they can easily triple or quadruple a pals stats, but they can be a bit laborious depending on your method. If you've been collecting dog coins you can buy your way through most of it, but you may still have to search for some passive implants to avoid breeding chains.
