The Performer
This Trainer dedicates their life to putting on stunning performances and dazzling an audience. They may or may not focus on Pokémon battling, but you can be sure they would make every battle they participate in a spectacle to behold.
Notable Examples: Roxie, Dawn, Yancy, Curtis, Ruby
Key Skills: Charm, Intuition, Focus
How to Build: Start with Coordinator, Dancer, or Musician First, you’ll want to think about what kind of performer your Trainer is. Obviously, a specialist in Pokémon Contests would choose the Coordinator Class, and the other two Classes are self-explanatory. However, if you haven’t selected your performance art of choice yet, think a little about the roles each Trainer Class excels in. A Coordinator obviously will focus more on supporting their Pokémon than fighting in battle themselves. Dancer and Musician, however, share some similarities in focusing on Trainer Combat while also being able to support their Pokémon to a degree. In the Pokémon world, punk rock stars and breakdancers can hold their own in a fight too! Musician gives you more tools out of the box to fight directly alongside your Pokémon while Dancer works better as a supplement to another Trainer Combat class with its Combat Stage raising Moves. From there, you will again want to think about what kind of role your character will play. Style Expert is the natural choice for all performers, not just Coordinators, when it comes to a Pokémon Support role. Juggler matches a flashy battling style as well while also providing a bonus to competing in Contests. A Dancer focusing more on Trainer Combat will likely move into Martial Artist, using their graceful techniques to perform hypnotizing katas that turn into furious and devastating attacks in battle. Fashionista is a choice that should appeal to all performers, giving them the ability to customize their sense of personal style with makeovers and Accessories. With the Hobbyist, the performer can become incredibly versatile when it comes to all manner of social SKILLS.
