Associated Skills: Education Skills, Survival

TRAVEL AND INVESTIGATION+
TRAINER COMBAT+
Researchers study various academic fields and apply them to Pokémon: General Knowledge, Apothecary, Botany, Chemistry, Climatology, Crystal Artifice, Occultism, Paleontology, and Pokémon Caretaking. The world is a vast place with many complex subjects. It’s simply not possible for someone to know everything about everything, but delving deep into a handful of topics can reap many benefits. While most trainers aim to be the best, Researchers aim to know the most. Researchers become experts on the subjects that interest them. They learn how to apply this information to conflicts off and on the battlefield alike. The Researcher Class is perhaps one of the most difficult and subtle classes to play, but extremely versatile in its scope; knowledge is power, after all. Researchers all must choose carefully how to proceed with their FEATURES, as their choice of specialization will make a large impact on how they are able to apply their skills. Researcher is all about having the knowledge to make the most of any situation or challenge. When you choose to take the Researcher Class, you will advance in Fields of Study that represent more narrow topics of research. Two characters with the Researcher Class can play very differently as a result!
