General information:

-​ The following guide lists the Roles (or Classes) available in version 9.1.3 of
Pokémon Pathways. Currently, there are twelve in the game.

-​ A Role 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. If there is a link attached to an
ability or move, it means it is custom and you can view the details in Game Changes.

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

-​ To get a Role, 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.
