Here are all the quests you can complete to unlock the abilities:
Healing Help
The Healing Help mission will see you helping your Palico in capturing a Vigorwasp. This creature can be found all over the world and can be caught very easily. Just equip a Capture Net from your radial wheel and use the Slingshot to capture one.
Once you have one, take it to your Palico at any basecamp to complete the mission and unlock the Vigorwasp ability. Now, your feline friend will throw these bugs at your direction during a fight.
Flash Course
Your Palico will ask you to capture a Flashfly. Like the Vigorwasp, you can spot these endemic creatures all around the world. Capturing one is easy as you need to equip the Capture Net and shoot one with your Slingshot. Go back to any base camp and talk with your Palico to complete the quest.
A Gutsy Move
Your Palico will ask you to capture a Giant Vigorwasp this time around. You can find these endemic lifeform in the Scarlet Forest region of the map. Capture them like the previous times and talk with your Palico in any base camp to complete this mission.

This time around your Palico will ask you to hunt a Quematrice in Monster Hunter Wilds that will take you to the Windwards Plains area. During the fight, your furry friend will drop a new tool, a flying tank. Once the hunt is complete, you can talk to the Palico in any base camp to unlock this ability.
Purrfect Plundering
This is the last of the Palico Upgrades in Monster Hunter Wilds, and you will be tasked with hunting a Guardian Ebony Odogaron. You feline buddy will discover another device called the Purrfect Plunderer during the battle.
Once you talk to them in any base camp after completing the hunt, your Palico will unlock the Purrfect Plunderer device in their arsenal.
