to simplify Damage Bases.

Please check with your GM before using this compilation document as a reference, as your GM may

Actions to Drain your AP to receive certain benefits.

After half an hour of study, you can Drain 1 AP to gain the benefits of one Rank of a Book , if you meet the prerequisite Skill for that
Book’s Rank. Ranks in an individual book must be gained sequentially (e.g. you must have the Novice Rank effect to gain the the Expert
Rank effect).

The benefits from a Book last until an Extended Rest is taken; when an Extended Rest is taken, you may choose to renew any Drain
previously held from Books and continue to gain the effects.

Books generally cost ₽1000, but may differ depending on the availability in your campaign, so ask your GM.

cost instead of only 50%.
Class-Specific Abilities and Ability Changes

While some Abilities were removed in their entirety during the PokéDex update, Oracle, Rider, Stone Warrior, and Shade
Caller still grant some of these abilities. Therefore, while they were intended to be phased out and are unavailable for
general use, they have been reprinted here for the convenience of people using those Classes.

Ability: Instinct
Static
Effect: The user’s default Evasion is increased by +2. Defensive.

Ability: Run Up
Static
Effect: If the user moves in a straight line to a target and uses
a damaging Melee Attack, it may add the number of meters
traveled in a direct line as Bonus Damage to a Damage Roll.

Ability: Twisted Power

Static
Effect: The user adds half of their Attack Stat to the damage
rolls of their Special Moves; and the user adds half of their
Special Attack Stat to the damage of their Physical Moves. This
does not change the Damage Class of any attack.

In addition, some of the changes have made certain abilities incompatible, at least as intended, with the Classes they are
granted to. Changes for Prism and Wind Runner have been provided here.

Prism: Sunglow should grant Special Attack CS instead of Attack CS.

Wind Runner: Accelerate (which replaces Gale Wings) should require a damaging Flying-Type Move, rather than a Damaging Move
with STAB.
Supplementary Changes
Status Changes

Paralysis: A paralyzed target’s Initiative is halved. Make a Save Check that succeeds on 11+ at start of the target’s turn.
On a successful check the target may act normally, but on a failed check the following effects occur:
- The target can only take a Standard OR Shift Action that round, but not both.
- The target is Vulnerable for 1 full round.
- The target cannot take attacks of opportunity for 1 full round.

Flinch: Flinch lasts for 1 full round. While Flinched, the target is Vulnerable. In addition, the target takes a -5 penalty to
initiative for the rest of the Scene, or until recalled, which may stack. Effects that remove a target’s Flinched Status will
also remove the initiative penalty, and may be triggered to do so.

Infatuation: The creature that Infatuated the target becomes the target’s Crush. Infatuated targets take a -5 penalty on
all Damage Rolls that do not include their Crush as a target. For determining Damage Rolls that do include their Crush as
a target, the Infatuated target’s Attack and Special Attack are halved. The target is cured of Infatuation with a Save
Check of 16+ made at end of turn.

Confusion: Confused targets cannot take Attacks of Opportunity. If a Confused target makes an Attack (even attacks
without rolls), roll 1d2. On 1, after the attack is resolved, the Confused Pokémon loses Hit Points equal to half their
Attack Stat if the Move was Physical, half or their Special Attack Stat if the Move was Special, or two Ticks of Hit Points if
the Move was a Status Move. The target is cured of Confusion with a Save of 16+ made at end of turn.

Suppression: Suppressed targets cannot use Moves with any Frequency other than “At-Will”. Suppression always lasts 1
full round, unless a Move or Ability specifies otherwise.

Vulnerable: Add this condition to Blinded, Sleeping, Fainted, Frozen, and Tripped targets.

Tutor Changes

All Moves taught through Tutoring Features (Ex: Mentor’s Move Tutor and Egg Tutor, Chronicler’s Archive Tutor) now
have prerequisites:
» Pokémon under Level 20 may only learn Moves of an At-Will or EOT Frequency with a max Damage Base of 7.
» Pokémon from Level 20 to 29 may only learn Moves with up to a Scene Frequency and max Damage Base of 9.
» Pokémon at Level 30 and above have no restrictions when being taught Moves through Tutors.

This applies to Inheritance Moves as well. If a Pokémon were to have Heal Pulse as its only Inheritance Move, that Move
would be gained at Level 30 despite the Level 20 slot for Inheritance Moves being empty.

Poké Edge Changes

Basic Ranged Attacks now has no Level Prerequisite.

Aura Pulse no longer requires a Trainer with the Aura Pulse Capability.
Mixed Sweeper is replaced with the following:
Mixed Power
Prerequisites: Level 10, Invested at least 5 Level-Up Stat Points into both Attack and Special Attack, Attack and Special
Attack must be within 5 points of each other (before CS)
Cost: 2 Tutor Points
Effect: The user adds half of their Attack Stat to the damage rolls of their Special Moves; and the user adds half of their
Special Attack Stat to the damage of their Physical Moves. This does not change the Damage Class of any attack.
Capture Mechanic Changes

A Capture Roll is now a 1d20 roll where you aim to meet or exceed a target number. If you have gained the Amateur
Trainer bonus at Level 5, add +1 to this roll. If you have gained the Capable Trainer bonus at Level 10, instead add +2 to
this roll. If Veteran Trainer, +3; if Elite Trainer, +4, if Champion, +5.

A Pokémon’s Capture Rate depends on its Level, Hit Points, Status Afflictions, Evolutionary Stage, and Rarity.

A Pokémon’s base Capture Rate is 10. For each 10 Levels it has, add 1 to this Capture Rate.

In the event you want the Pokémon to be more difficult to catch, like if it were a Boss, Shiny, or a Legendary Pokémon,
then raise this number by a value between 5 and 20 based on what you feel is appropriate for its rarity. Remember that
Pokémon that have been Knocked Out cannot be captured; Poké Balls will simply fail to attempt to energize them.

Next, go down the following checklist. For each condition that applies check every check box next to the condition. Then,
at the end, add up the total number of check boxes and subtract 2 from the Pokémon’s Capture for each check box.

☐ Is the Pokémon at or under 50% its maximum Hit Points?

☐ Is the Pokémon at or under 25% its maximum Hit Points?
☐☐ Is the Pokémon suffering from 5 or more Injuries?
☐ Is the Pokémon suffering from at least one Persistent or Volatile Status Affliction?
☐☐ Does the Pokémon have exactly two evolution stages remaining?
☐ Does the Pokémon have exactly one evolution stage remaining?

For example, a level 10 Pikachu at 70% Hit Points and Confused would have a Capture Rate of 7.
Math: Base (10+1) -2 (Status Affliction) -2 (one evolutionary stage) = 7

A Shiny level 30 Caterpie that is at 40% Hit Points would have a Capture Rate of 12.
Math: Base (10+3) +5 (GM discretion Shiny bonus) -2 (Hit Points) -4 (two evolutionary stages) = 12

A level 80 Hydreigon that is at exactly 1 Hit Point and is Burned, Poisoned, and has 5 Injuries would have a Capture Rate
of 10.
Math: Base (10+8) - 4 (Hit Points) -2 (Status Affliction) -4 (Injuries) = 10

Supplementary Capture Changes

Poké Balls are pretty easy to convert. Flip the sign on all
modifiers, then divide by 5. For example, a Great Ball
gives a +2 bonus to Capturing. An Ultra Ball gives +3. A
Timer Ball starts at -1 and can go up to +4. As a general
rule, you can apply this to most other effects in the
system that affect Captures. For example, Capture
Specialist’s Snare gives a +2 bonus.
In addition, replace Capture Specialist’s Gotta Catch
‘Em All with the following revision:
Gotta Catch ‘Em All
Prerequisites: Advanced Capture Techniques Rank 3
Static
Effect: Every time you Capture a Wild Pokémon that is a
member of an evolutionary family of which you own no
other Pokémon, you gain 1 Collector Stack. Whenever
you make a Capture Roll, you may spend up to three
Collector Stacks to gain an equal bonus to your Capture
Roll, or you may spend three Collector Stacks to re-roll
entirely.
Variant Damage Base Rules
Much in the same vein as Capture Checks, if you want to speed up your turns and not have to worry about remembering
as many complex formulas, you can make all Damage Base rolls Xd4 (plus all appropriate modifiers, such as Stats and
Abilities), where X is the Damage Base of the Attack. For example, a DB 8 attack would roll 8d4 + Stat for damage.
Item Changes
Mechanical Scrap is a new Scrap category that
encompasses Items made with the Gadgeteer, Engineer,
and Upgrader Fields of Study.
Glue Cannons and Weighted Nets are replaced with
Cap Cannons, which have the following rules text:
Cap Cannon - Capsule Cannons (or Cap Cannons for
short) are two-handed pieces of Equipment which can
be loaded with different types of Capsules (Caps) and
fired. They can be fired as a Standard Action, and the
range and effect of the Cannon depends on the Cap
used. A Cap Cannon may have up to five Caps loaded in
it at once, and they do not have to be fired in any
particular order. You may load up to two Caps into a
Cannon as a Standard Action. There are three types of
Caps: Bean Caps, Glue Caps, and Net Caps. In addition
to Caps, Capsule Cannons can also be loaded with
Smoke Bombs, Pester Balls, and Poke Balls. When fired
this way, these items behave normally but have a Range
of 10 meters. Capsule Cannons cost ₽5000.
Bean Cap - Bean Caps shoot as a small cloth projectile
filled with beads, which explodes upon contact, dealing
some damage.
Cost per Cap: ₽50
AC: (6 minus Tech Edu Rank, Minimum 2)
Range: 10 meters
Effect: The target takes 20 Physical, Normal-Type
Damage. On 18+, the target is Tripped and loses a Tick
of Hit Points.
Glue Cap - Glue Caps shoot as a sticky orb that explodes
upon contact, covering the target in a sticky adhesive.
Cost per Cap: ₽100
AC: (8 minus Tech Edu Rank, Minimum 2)
Range: 8 meters
Effect: Cause the target to become Slowed, and their
Initiative is lowered by 5. On 18+, the target is also
Stuck and Trapped.
Net Cap - Net Caps expand into a strong fibrous net that
cling to and entangle their target.
Cost per Cap: ₽200
AC: (10 minus Tech Edu Rank)
Range: 6 Meters
Effect: Targets hit by a Net Cap gain all the effects
below while the net remains on them. Targets may
attempt to remove the Net as a Standard Action; if they
do, they make a Save Check with a DC of 15, adding
their Power Capability as a bonus to their Roll. Targets
may automatically remove the Net as an Extended
Action.
» If the target is a Wild Pokémon, Capture Rate is
increased by +20
» If the target is Large Size or smaller, they take a -3
penalty to Accuracy Rolls
» If the target is Medium Size or smaller, they are
Slowed and Vulnerable
» Sky and Levitate Speeds cannot be used; the target is
forced to lower themselves to the ground (without
taking fall damage).
Heavy Shields are removed from the system.
Light Shields (now just Shields) grant a +1 Evasion
bonus rather than +2.
Light Armor is split into two varieties:
» Light Armor grants +5 Damage Reduction against
Physical Damage.
» Special Armor grants +5 Damage Reduction against
Special Damage.
Heavy Armor now grants +5 Damage Reduction against
all Damage.
Class Errata
Replace any instance of Mastermind in the book with
Commander.
Ace Trainer: For Signature Technique, Scattershot
makes the move become 2 targets instead of 3. Double
Curse may not be used on any move that could allow
you to use a non-Status move (such as Copycat, Sketch,
or Transform).
Athlete: Replace “Athletic Prowess” in Athlete’s
Prerequisites with “Athletic Initiative”.
Capture Specialist: Tools of the Trade now gives an
Accuracy bonus to Cap Cannons.
Chef: Dumplings cannot be used to make other
Dumpling items. No infinite recursion, please.
The bonus from Accentuated Taste can only be gained
once per item, even if Complex Aftertaste is used to
give an additional Food Buff for the item.
Duelist: Tagging is a Priority (Limited) Action.
Fashionista: Dashing Makeover only applies to items
that you can make via Fashionista.
Hobbyist: Hobbyist now only allows the user to take
Skill Edges that Rank Up a Skill.
Hunter: Surprise! now has an AP discount when
triggered by attacks using Cap Cannons.
Ninja: Add [+Speed] to Ninja’s Arsenal.
Survivalist: Natural Fighter now allows a Survivalist to
use the Move Spikes instead of Fling when in Urban
terrain.
Bug Ace: X in Disruption Order is equal to half your
type-linked skill rank.
Fairy Ace: Fairy Rites should not have a Trigger.
Steel Ace: Iron Grit Targets “Your Steel-Type Pokémon”.
Arcanist: The Damage Base increase in Arcanist no
longer applies to Struggle Attacks.
Fire Ace: Incandescence is adjusted as follows:
Incandescence
[Orders] [Stratagem]
Prerequisites: Brightest Flame, Type-Linked Skill at Expert
Bind 2 AP – Standard Action
Target: Your Fire-Type Pokémon
Effect: While this Feature is Bound, the target gains the Mixed
Power Poké Edge effect when using damaging Fire-Type
Attacks. If the target already has Mixed Power, they instead
add their entire Attack and Special Attack Stats to all damaging
Fire-Type Attacks, instead of one or the other.
Apothecary: Medical Techniques is replaced with the
following:
Affliction Techniques
Prerequisites: Patch Cure, Expert Medicine Education
1 AP – Free Action
Trigger: You use an Antidote, Burn Heal, Ice Heal, or Paralyze
Heal
Effect: If the target successfully cures the target of its linked
Status Affliction, the item has additional effects.
» Antidote: The target gains +1 Special Defense Combat Stage
» Burn Heal: The target gains +1 Defense Combat Stage.
» Ice Heal: The target gains +1 Attack or Special Attack Combat
Stage.
» Paralyze Heal: The target gains +1 Speed Combat Stage.
Climatology: Extreme Weather is adjusted as follows:
Extreme Weather
Prerequisites: Climate Control, Master Survival

Trigger: You or your Pokémon create a Weather Condition
Effect: The Weather is particularly intense and has additional
effects as listed below.
» Hail: All Trainers and Pokémon that take Hail Damage take a
-5 Penalty to all Damage Rolls.
» Rain: Trainers and Pokémon that are not Water or Grass
Typed can only take Standard OR Shift Action during their
turns, but not both.
» Sandstorm: All Trainers and Pokémon that take Sandstorm
damage take a -2 Penalty to Accuracy Rolls.
» Sun: Trainers and Pokémon that are not Fire or Grass Typed
can only use At-Will and EOT Frequency Moves.
General Errata
Digestion Buffs are now called Food Buffs. Food Buffs
last until the end of an Extended Rest.
Repulsive Medicines are now called Herbal
Restoratives and no longer cause Pokémon to dislike
their Trainer. Instead, they have the following effects:
Herbal Restoratives function differently from most
normal Restorative items. While you can spray as many
Potions on a Pokémon or Trainer each day as you like,
using too many Herbal Restoratives in one day can be
detrimental. However, using just one or two a day is
fine and can even be better than using normal
Restoratives!
Keep track of how many Herbal Restoratives a Pokémon
or Trainer consumes. This count is reset after each
Extended Rest.
The first time a Pokémon or Trainer consumes an
Herbal Restorative in a given period, they gain a Food
Buff that can be traded in to gain a +2 bonus on a Save
Check.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Teleportation provoke Attacks of Opportunity?
A: No.
Q: Does Underdog’s Strength prevent Mega Evolution?
A: No.
Q: What happens if you go above DB 28?
A: The maximum DB is 28. Any effects that would raise
it above 28 instead raises it to 28.
Q: Can Free Actions be used at any time?
A: No, unless used by a trigger, Free Actions may only
be used on your own turn.
Q: Can a X-target attack (for instance “Ranged, 3
Targets”) target fewer than X creatures?
A: Yes. Area of Effect attacks (like Burst and Cone),
however, must target all creatures in their area, unless
they specify otherwise (such as Twister).
The second time a Pokémon or Trainer consumes an
Herbal Restorative in a given period, they become
unable to gain Food Buffs or Temporary Hit Points until
they take an Extended Rest.
The third time and every time thereafter that Pokémon
or Trainer consumes an Herbal Restorative in a given
period, roll 1d6. 1 corresponds to Attack, 2 to Defense,
3 to Special Attack, 4 to Special Defense, 5 to Speed,
and 6 is re-rolled. The user’s default Combat Stage for
the rolled Stat is reduced by 1 until they take an
Extended Rest.
The Attack of Opportunity trigger “An adjacent foe
Shifts out of a Square adjacent to you” should instead
read “An adjacent foe Shifts out of a Square adjacent to
you into a Square that is not adjacent to you.”
The Grappled effect “Cannot take Shift Actions, or any
actions that would cause them to Shift” should instead
read “Cannot take any action that would allow them to
Shift, but may make other Shift actions, such as ending
the Tripped condition.”
Q: Can Combo Striker trigger multiple times on Double
Strike Moves?
A: Yes.
Q: If you’re Enraged, can you do things like release a
Pokémon with a Shift Action?
A: Yes. The intention behind Enraged was that you can’t
use a Standard Action to do anything other than use a
Damaging Move or Struggle attack. Your other actions
are not affected.
Q: Why is [thing in the PokéDex] inconsistent with
[other thing in the PokéDex]?
A: Because there are a lot of Pokémon, and it’s a lot of
work to make them consistent. Things slip through the
cracks. Feel free to adjust size categories or whatnot in
your own game should you so choose.
Q: Why doesn’t [Pokémon] learn this move that it does
in the video games?
A: As above, things slip through the cracks. If it learns it
in the games and doesn’t in PTU, it’s likely an accident.
Q: How do Choice Items interact with new Suppression?
A: It still lasts until the end of the Scene, allowing only
At-Will moves.
Q: Can things, like Dodge, that force a move to miss be
used on no-miss moves to make them miss?
A: Yes, but only if it occurs after the hit. Mind Reader
would not be able to force a no-miss Move to miss, as it
occurs during the targeting phase, while the no-miss
portion occurs afterwards. Dodge, however, would, as
the move has already hit – the Ability is just changing
that hit that was made into a miss.
Q: Can I take multiple Elemental Connection edges?
A: No. An edge may only be taken more than once if it
specifies that it can be.
Q: Does the [Class] feature in a class count as a feature
in that class?
A: Yes.
Q: Does Baton Pass transfer combat stages gained from
a change in default (such as from Ace Trainer)?
A: No. Default positive CS are not transferred.
Q: Do Double Strike moves trigger effects that rely on
being hit multiple times, if both attack roll hits?
A: No. Despite there being two attack rolls, that is only
to determine the DB of the single hit.
Q: What qualifies as an AoE for the purposes of only
rolling one attack roll and one damage roll?
A: Attacks that do not have a set number of targets only
use one attack and damage roll. For instance, Blast, Line
and Pass moves used as multi-space moves would only
roll once, but something like Razor Wind would roll one
attack per target.

Q: Do Arcane Weapons change the types of non-

weapon Moves used with them (for instance, Rogue
Moves)?
A: No, they only ever change the types of Struggles
modified by and Weapon Moves granted by the weapon
itself.

Q: Are Restoratives intended to be league legal?

A: No.

Q: Can the Hobbyist class be taken as a Trainer Bonus if

it’s a level that allows a General Feature (such as the
Bonus at level 5)?
A: Yes, due to its special clause. The class itself counts as
a General Feature, even if you haven’t taken it yet.

Q: Do a mount’s burst attacks hit their rider, or vice

versa?
A: No.

Q: Can I use Commander’s Voice with both my Standard

and my Swift action in one turn, for a total of 3 orders?
A: No. Since it says ‘or’, you can only use it once per
turn.
