The Psychic
This Trainer is a master of classical Psychic powers and often has a close tie to the Pokémon Type as well.
Notable Examples: Sabrina, Tate and Liza
Key Skills: Focus, Intuition, Guile
How to Build: Start with Telekinetic, Telepath, or Warper Terrifying stories are often told of Psychics. It’s said they can read your mind, move objects with just a thought, teleport in the blink of an eye, and even see the future. While Psychics can do all of these, very few Psychics can do all of them or even just more than one. When building a Psychic, your first choice is which power set to focus on, because each of them will consume a precious Class slot. Telepaths find the most use outside of combat situations and are great for Travel and Investigation with their ability to ferret out secrets and discover the hidden and unknown. Telekinetics are the most capable of directly applying their powers to fighting, though Warpers also have a set of competent combat techniques that can enhance any combat Trainer’s arsenal. From there, many Psychics also choose to become Psychic Aces due to their connection with the Type. Rune Master from the Game of Throhs supplement is another popular choice due to the Psychic Typing of the strange letter Pokémon. Psychics who want to enhance their Pokémon training in a less specialized way often choose the Enduring Soul Class because of the shared use of the Focus Skill with many Psychic Classes. Many Psychics focus on intellectual pursuits as well, due to the universal use of Mind Category Skills within their Classes, which makes Researcher a worthy option to consider. Some Psychics may wish to develop skills in tracking others of their kind, and the Occultism Research branch of the Researcher Class allows just that.
