The Sleuth
This Trainer is always looking for the latest scoop, whether it’s as news reporters following the hippest Trainers around the region or as shady information dealers using espionage and stealth to find useful tidbits to sell about all the influential and powerful Trainers. They could also be talent scouts, searching for potential Gym Leaders or competitors at a Battle Frontier.
Notable Examples: Gabby and Ty
Key Skills: Perception, Charm, Guile
How to Build: Start with Chronicler, Provocateur, or Rogue Sleuths who work in the media obviously tend towards the Chronicler Class to begin with. With their talents, they can instantly familiarize themselves with new environments and capture the details of someone’s battle strategy to copy and even replicate and teach to their own Pokémon. Rogue is a great option for Sleuths who would rather remain unseen to get their juicy tidbits of information, and the Provocateur can rely upon their silver tongue. They’re also more likely to be able to handle themselves in a fight, though it might just be enough to run away safely rather than beat down a hulky opponent. The Tumbler Class also helps here, for the Sleuth who risks getting in frequent scuffles. For those in a more dangerous Sleuth profession, such as information dealers or spies for a criminal organization, Trainer Combat CLASSES such as Ninja or Martial Artist are a great choice. Sleuths who like to study their opponents and formulate clever strategies to use against them will tend toward the Commander or Trickster Classes while Sleuths who are trying to create their own celebrity identity through their media pursuits might choose the Style Expert to give their battling a more distinctive flair.
