Grintale
Step one

One fixed fight, and forest almost everywhere else

The boss pin is the route. The other two pins are the wild spread, which is unusually wide: Grintale sits on 11 different spawner groups on this island, so most forest you cross has some chance of one.

The route
1Fly to [356, -246]Marsh Island, on the main island map. This is the only fixed Grintale encounter in the game and it is reachable long before the wild bands are worth walking.One field boss, Lv 17
2Bring Dark damageGrintale is pure Neutral, and Dark is the only element that gets a bonus against it. At level 17 nothing it does is dangerous, but the fight drags without the right damage type.Neutral, weak to Dark
3Weaken it, then throw Mega SpheresA Mega Sphere is more than enough at level 17. Take it under half health and set the party to passive before the last hit so nothing finishes the catch for you.Overkill loses the catch
4If you lose, fly straight backField bosses return on server restart, or roughly an hour on a solo world. Nothing is consumed by failing, and there is no cake or ranch chain sitting behind this route.No consumed item, no timer
5Ride it and pick up every egg you seeGlaring Cat Eye gives a 50 percent chance of a second Pal Egg every time you pick one up, while Grintale is in the party. It is a mount, so it can carry you between nests as well.50 percent chance of a second egg

Large Common Egg on Sakurajima

The Sakurajima pool on the Large Common Egg holds 4 outcomes and Grintale is 68.49 percent of it, which is over three times its best wild roll. The Huge Common Egg from the same routes has 2 outcomes and gives an alpha Grintale at 50 percent.

Mountain Stream Grotto, for a higher level

Both forest grottos field Grintale at the Boss and MidBoss ranks at levels 27 to 29 with the alpha flag, and on their ordinary tables at 20 percent for levels 20 to 23. Those caves are the best odds on any main island ground.

Camp squadBy accident
One Hunter camp fields a single Grintale

One camp squad puts a single Grintale on the ground floor of a Hunter camp, with no level recorded. It is something that happens while you are clearing the camp, not a plan.

◆Grintale sits on 11 separate spawner groups, and the one where it is luckiest is also the smallest. `orange_E` gives 21.23 percent across 11 points, while the 259 point forest group gives 14.56. If you want odds rather than convenience, the grotto tables at 20 percent beat all of them.
◆There is a loop worth setting up here. Grintale gives a 50 percent chance of a second Pal Egg on every pickup, and Grintale is 68.49 percent of the Sakurajima Large Common Egg pool, so one in the party makes farming more of itself measurably faster.
◆Gathering 3 is its only work suitability. Grintale earns its slot as a mount and as an egg-doubling party member, so do not expect a base worker out of it.
Why bother
Glaring Cat Eye is one of the most quietly valuable partner skills in the game: while Grintale is in the party, every Pal Egg you pick up has a 50 percent chance of giving you a second one. It is also a ground mount and a Gathering level 3 worker, and each catch drops 1 to 3 High Quality Pal Oil.
