Music and art are simply a part of life. It’s something Pokémon and humans alike find joy in, and many have devoted their lives and talents to it. As such the gift of music is found almost everywhere in the world – in busy city streets, in a packed arena, at a campfire in the wilderness. Even in places no humans dwell, Pokémon themselves may sing.
With time and practice, many have found ways to use their art to help their allies and cripple their foes. Sounds can be distracting or painful, or can help lift one’s spirits and get the blood flowing. As such it’s not uncommon to see practiced singers and instrumentalists in both the arenas and the wilds.
The Musician class has an array of sound-based Moves at its disposal, making it quite flexible. It can weaken foes, empower allies, and has a few powerful damaging attacks in its arsenal as well. Its relatively low entry requirements make it easily accessible to most character concepts, allowing you to really make it what you want. A guitar wielding rocker, a pop starlet, or the world’s most awesome sax player? Whatever way you take it, your adventuring companions will appreciate what you bring to the table.
