Survivalist
Associated Skills: Survival
TRAVEL AND INVESTIGATION++
ACTIVE POKEMON SUPPORT++
TRAINER COMBAT+ A wilderness-oriented Class that can specialize in a variety of terrains, gaining the ability to create impromptu traps, fight using the environment, and help their allies cope with their surroundings. Pokémon Trainers often have to travel across the land, searching far and wide to capture new Pokémon or find Gyms to challenge. Their journeys bring them through all sorts of exotic environments, from frozen tundras to steamy rainforests. Not everyone is cut out for such a harsh journey, but the Survivalist is most at home trailblazing through the wilderness. However, even the most seasoned traveler can’t master all the different terrains and environments of the world. It takes a concerted effort for a Survivalist to truly understand a type of geography and how best to navigate through it, so each Survivalist will pick up the skills that are most appropriate to their favored terrains. Their expertise lets them create improvised traps, fight with the environment, and help their allies acclimate to their surroundings in battle.
