Hello again. I am so-so on the stat reset. My Chocobo is rank 4 as of yesterday and yes I got 4 points there. So the max amount of points you will recieve is 55 at Rank 10. Now you can look through and choose 55 points worth of skills on 1, 2 or all 3 branches for your Chocobo. I went Attacker stance, I have mine working with my Summoner. I use titan to take out Fate bosses, some places people actually ignore the bosses, and Ifrit on the normal 48-49 mobs around the maps. Just out of curiousity at first I sent my Rita out with Ifrit. In 2 hits my Attacker Chocobo stole hate and kept it. So the attacker style can outdamage a Summoner's DD melee summon. The hate control of the Defender type, don't get too annoyed because mysteriously my Chocobo's standard hits went from upper 90's to 100-110 at Rank 4.

Keep an eye on your Chocobo damage, hate and heal. I think the Rank up itself brings bonuses to stats and, may, enhance the skill tree/s you have chosen.(<-supposition)
