The Law Enforcement
This Trainer dedicates their life to chasing down criminal scum. With numerous criminal organizations like Team Rocket, Team Plasma, and so on and so forth wandering about, it’s no wonder the Pokémon world is in desperate need of these Trainers!
Notable Examples: Officer Jenny, Looker
Key Skills: Stealth, Perception, Combat, Survival
How to Build: Start with Rogue, Survivalist, or Hunter It takes a keen understanding of the criminal mind to catch a criminal, making the Rogue a great choice for Law Enforcement, despite the name and usual connotations. Survivalists and Hunters are also great for this Archetype because many crimes are, of course, related to Pokémon and their habitats, such as poaching or performing unethical experiments on wild Pokémon populations. From there, Law Enforcement agents usually want to focus. They can either pick up direct combat CLASSES like Martial Artist or pick up a Class or two that lets them more effectively use their Pokémon to catch criminals. The Cheerleader Class works very well for this kind of supporting role while the Juggler Class allows Law Enforcement agents to quickly remove their Pokémon from danger. When it comes to actually chasing down and catching criminals, few Classes can match the Rider in mobility and speed, especially when paired with Speed Ace. Weapons are sometimes the sole purview of Law Enforcement agents in settings where Trainers are expected to use Pokémon for self-defense. As such, the Weapon Specialist Classes from the Game of Throhs supplement may be a fitting option, even in a campaign without fantasy elements. In campaigns where players are allowed to choose Supernatural Classes, the Oracle and Telepath Classes are especially useful for detective characters in rooting out information that’s normally inaccessible by mundane means.
