General information:

- The following guide lists the Classes (or Roles) available in version 8.5.3 of
Pokémon Pathways. Currently, there are eight in the game.

- A Class is a trainer archetype you can make yours like Knight or Adventurer. It will
allow you to teach certain moves to your Pokémon regardless of movepool and
replace their ability with specific ones for a cost. Additionally, the damage inflicted by
Pokémon of the type your class specialises in will be increased by 4, 7 or 10%
depending on how far you’ve walked down its path. Classes with no specialisation
increase all damage by 1, 2 or 3% instead.

- You can only have one Class, and the decision is irreversible. In other words, think
carefully before making your choice.

- To get a Class, you need to meet its instructor and catch their eye. Each instructor
has specific requirements that need to be met in order to be taught their secrets.
Once you have officially become their disciple, your new master will be waiting in the
basement of the Academy Tower. They will be the one to teach you new moves and
replace abilities.
