The Mystic
This Trainer is an enigma, commanding powers that most people don’t understand and may not have even heard of. They often develop a closer bond to wild Pokémon than most due to their ability to peer directly into their hearts and understand them on an intuitive level.
Notable Examples: N, Riley
Key Skills: Intuition, Perception
How to Build: Start with Channeler, Oracle, or Aura Guardian Channelers and Aura Guardians have similar abilities to perceive the emotions and intents of others, though they manifest in different ways. A Channeler can delve deeper into the emotions of a Pokémon, but the connection they forge is by necessity more intimate and intentional and thus harder to establish with hostile foes. An Aura Guardian gets a more shallow glance at someone’s heart, but they can do so instantly. The two Classes also differ in their role in battle, with the Channeler specializing in supporting their Pokémon using the connection they build between them and Aura Guardians specializing in fighting with Aura energy and combat techniques. You may also build a Mystic by starting with the Elementalist Classes from Game of Throhs. From there, many Mystics choose to focus further on the respective roles of their starting Class. Aura Guardians may choose Musician or the Arcanist from Game of Throhs to add more Special attacks to their arsenal. Channelers often choose other support Classes such as Enduring Soul or even Chef to make use of their high Intuition. Mystics also tend to have connections to Legendary Pokémon, and in campaigns where such Pokémon have divine or near divine status, the character options from The Blessed and the Damned can provide interesting ways to represent powers gained from a relationship with these rare mythical Pokémon. Much of the time, however, a Mystic chooses not to define themselves just by their supernatural powers, and they may develop in many different directions, selecting the rest of their Classes as if they were embodying a different Trainer Archetype from this section.
