Enduring Soul
Passive Pokémon Support
XXXXX
Associated Skills: Athletics, Focus
Enduring Souls understand the value of sheer tenacity. Where others would throw in the towel, they keep going. Through impressive stamina and focus, they will themselves into victory. It’s just this endurance and tenacity that can lead an Enduring Soul’s Pokémon to persevere through Critical Hits and Status Afflictions that would cripple lesser Pokémon.
Enduring Soul is a good fit for any trainer that wants to push the endurance of their Pokémon in battle, and thus it’s a path most taken by Ace Trainers, Tough Experts, or other classes that specialize in training Pokémon, but is also a good fit with classes such as Athlete or Martial Artist that enhance the endurance of the Trainer; this way both Pokémon and Trainer can become tougher together. Psychics specializing in Focus may find this class an attractive way to enhance their Pokémon as well.
