Roughneck
Trainer Combat
XXXXX
Associated Skills: Intimidate
Fear is a powerful tool in battles, and Roughnecks understand that well. As a Roughneck beats down their opponents, they also demoralize them and make it harder for their foe to fight back the longer the fight goes on and the more scare tactics they can apply. To make matters even worse for their opponents, Rough necks know how to outlast their enemies in a fight, and they will shrug off blows that would knock out lesser fighters.
Roughneck makes a good counterpart to other Trainer Combat Classes such as Martial Artist or Athlete, Provocateur also makes an obvious pairing for Roughneck, especially with the synergy between Roughneck’s Social Moves and Provocateur’s Push Buttons and Quick Wit Features. Roughneck can also be used to give a little extra versatility to Classes focused on Pokémon Support such as Taskmaster or Tough Expert.
