Do pets lose stats and skills?
Pets never lose stats. Ever. Pets only lose skill the first time it is tamed and every time it is resurrected. Pets lose 10% of their skills the very first time it is tamed, but 14% if they were paralyzed when tamed. Highly trained pets lose less skill than pets with low skill when resurrected by the owner or a friend. If a stranger to the pet resurrects it, then it will lose double the amount of skill it would have lost if the owner or a friend had done it. At 100.0 skill, the pet will lose 1% of its skill upon resurrection, or 2% of a stranger resurrects.
