Duelist
Active Pokémon Support
XXXX
Passive Pokémon Support
X
Associated Skills: Focus
Duelists mark their foes and then let their Pokémon tear them apart with ruthless efficiency. Even in the midst of a crowded battlefield, they are able to pinpoint priority targets and ensure their Pokémon have the focus to take them down without distraction. Unlike Jugglers, who prefer to rotate through their entire roster of Pokémon quickly in a battle, Duelists battle with one Pokémon at a time, building up momentum and pushing their advantage further and further.
Trainers with primarily passive Pokémon support options can take advantage of Duelist’s unique and powerful Orders, filling their Standard Actions. This makes Duelist a good counterpart to Classes such as Ace Trainer and Stat Ace.

Target: Your Pokémon under the effects of Focused Training
Effect: Apply one of the following effects. To choose an effect, your Pokémon must have a certain amount of Momentum. (Duelist’s Manual does not spend Momentum).
1 Momentum: Your Pokémon doubles their bonuses from Tolerance or Exploit until the end of their next turn and may change their Tolerance Ability into Exploit, or vice versa, until the end of their next turn.
2 Momentum: Your Pokémon’s next Pass, Cone, Close Blast, or Burst attack becomes a single target Melee attack, or their next Line or Ranged Blast attack becomes a single target Ranged attack. If this attack hits, the target becomes Vulnerable for one full round and has their Initiative set to 0 until the end of their next turn.
3 Momentum: Your Pokémon may act while ignoring the Confused, Rage, Infatuation, and Suppressed Volatile Status on their next turn as long as they attempt to attack a Tagged foe. May only be used once per Scene per Pokémon.

Trigger: Your Pokémon would gain Momentum while already at 6 Momentum

If the attack misses, it still deals damage as if it had the Smite keyword. If the attack hits, it’s automatically a Critical Hit. If it would have already been a Critical Hit, your Pokémon gains Hit Points equal to half of its maximum Hit Points. May be used only once per Scene per Pokémon.
