Associated Skills: Varies by Type
In a world where most Gyms are based on a particular Type of Pokémon, Type Aces are by far the most common of these specialists. The Type Ace feels a deep bond to a particular Type of Pokémon, and excels on raising them. This tie is so deep that they can with time change the very type of their Pokémon and their Moves, or teach a Pokémon to use a Move in a way they normally wouldn’t be able to. While their weaknesses are more pronounced than those of Stat Aces and Style Experts, their strengths are as well.
Type Ace is one of the most popular Classes for its thematic importance to the world of Pokémon and it’s signature benefit, Type Syncing. No class lets you customize Pokémon in such a dynamic way as Type Ace. Changing the Type of a Pokémon can have significant impacts on its Capabilities, Abilities, and Moves. The ability to change the Type of a Move is also highly valuable. Furthermore, Type Aces can gain a number of passive benefits to better their Type.
