Quick Reference
HP Skills
Breathless
You can hold your breath for up to an hour, stacks with other similar bonuses. Additionally, you are Immune Moves with the Powder Keyword.
Fasting
Fasting has to do with how long you can hold out for food and water. While most Trainers can go for four days without water and two weeks without food, you can withstand a week without water and a month without food. Your Pokémon take on this Disciplined behavior as well while part of your roster, requiring food and drink only as often as you. Additionally, your Pokémon do not ever dislike flavors and do not lose Loyalty from being fed Repulsive medicines.
Endurance
The Endurance Skill has to do with your Ability to withstand exhausting situations. You do not roll Tireless Checks due to traversal or the effects of overworld weather, such as extreme heat/cold. Additionally, you do not take damage from sources other than damage die rolls and Negative Statuses. This doesn’t prevent damage from falling or drowning.
Resistant
If you are resistant, you reduce the damage you would usually take from Poisoning and Burns by half your base HP stat rounded up. Additionally, when you roll to resist or cure a Negative Status on yourself you add +4 to the result.
Skill Checks
Attack Checks
Browbeat
When negotiations do not go well and you do not need to be nice, Browbeat is used for intimidation and muscling your way through problems. Whenever Browbeat is used, make a contested Check versus a Trainer’s Concentration Skill or a Pokémon’s Power Skill. If you win this Check the target is scared of you and is not willing to act against you during the encounter, potentially attempting to flee, while some Characters may only be impressed by your conviction. Either way you and your allies add +5 to Social Skill Checks made against characters you have successfully browbeaten.
Jump
The Jump skill allows for longer distance leaps and higher reach. A normal standing Jump for a Trainer is 0.6m and a standard leap is 1.5 m (no action required). Further Jumps and moving leaps require a proper Check as a Trainer Action.
1 — You trip and fall prone. (While prone you spend +1 Shift to move, cannot fly and need to stand up by spending half your Shift, rounded up.)
5 — You jump a normal height 0.6m, or leap forward a normal distance of 1.5m
10 — You jump higher, 1.2m, or leap forward 3m
15 — You leap upwards 2.4m, or leap forward 6m
20 — Adrenaline pumping, you leap upwards 3m, or leap forward 9m
30 — Adrenaline pumping, you leap upwards 6m, or leap forward 18m
Sprint
Whenever you need to get somewhere fast, Sprint. As a Trainer Action you can attempt to Sprint, getting farther than your normal Shift in a round.
1 — You trip and fall prone. (While prone you spend +1 Shift to move, cannot fly and need to stand up by spending half your Shift, rounded up.)
5 — You make some progress, Shifting again with half your Shift speed rounded up.
10 — You Shift again with your full Shift speed.
15 — You’re getting out of there, Shifting again with +3 to your Shift speed.
20 — You’re getting out of there, Shifting again with +6 to your Shift speed.
30 — You’re a Speed Master! Shift again with double your Shift speed then at the end of your turn, Shift again with double your Shift speed.
Strength
Regardless of your Attack Stat, proper form is needed to really use the muscle you may build. Strength will help you properly use your Attack to lift or move heavy objects. As a Trainer Action you can attempt to increase your lifting, pushing or pulling force. The Attack increase from Strength doesn’t apply to your Attack modifier and disappears at the end of your next turn. If you make multiple Strength Checks you only benefit from the highest Check’s DC you have met.
1 — You tense up and strain yourself, losing 5 Attack, decreasing force by 20 kg.
5 — You use your Strength as normal.
10 — You add 5 to your Attack, increasing force by 20 kg.
15 — You dig in adding 10 to your Attack, increasing force by 40 kg.
20 — Through tremendous effort you add 15 to your Attack, increasing force by 60 kg.
30 — Adrenaline pumping, you add 30 to your Attack, increasing force by 120 kg.
Grapple: You may use Strength to attempt a Contested Grapple Check versus an adjacent Character. For Trainers they use Strength/Acrobatics Skill and for Pokémon they use their Power Skill, you win ties for this Check. If you win the Contested Check you Grapple the Target imposing the Grappled Condition on them as the Grappler. You may only Grapple one Character per hand you have free.
Defense Checks
Concentration
Whenever you take damage performing a delicate task in battle or require focus to complete a task you may need to make a Concentration Check. Some features require Concentration Checks, if they have a set value you must refer to those. Otherwise when making Concentration Checks, you need to roll at least 10 or the damage taken divided by 4, rounded down to maintain your focus, whichever is higher.
Deflection
During your turn you can make a Deflection Check as a Trainer Action to ward against attackers by taking a defensive stance. Once you make this Check you benefit from its effect(s) until the start of your next turn. The Defense and Special Defense modifier increases from Deflection apply for evasion but not for any other calculation, Check, save or feature. The stat increases apply to your defenses only when calculating damage taken. If you make multiple Deflection Checks you only benefit from the highest Check’s DC you have met.
1 — You gain no defenses.
5 — You add +2 to your Defense and Special Defense.
10 — You add +4 to your Defense and Special Defense.
15 — You add +6 to your Defense and Special Defense.
20 — You add +10 to your Defense and Special Defense.
30 — You add +20 to your Defense and Special Defense.
Healing
Healing Checks are typically done at a Camp Rest where you recoup from damage taken. During encounters certain items or Skills may allow for the use of a Healing Check. Whoever is the target of your Healing action recovers the HP described by the Tier you meet and for percentage healing, always round up.
1 — You recover no HP.
5 — You recover a normal 10% of your maximum HP.
10 — You recover 15% of your maximum HP.
15 — You recover 25% of your maximum HP.
20 — You recover 50% of your maximum HP and recover from a Negative Status.
30 — You recover all HP, remove all Negative Status and gain 10% of your maximum HP as Temporary HP.
Tireless
Your journey can be difficult and taxing especially on your physical body. If you push your limits too far, either from traveling a long distance without break, forging food and water for too long or even forgoing sleep for more than 24 hours your GM may ask for a Tireless Check to see how much of a toll your adventure is taking on your Trainer. HP loss and unconsciousness from Tireless cannot be healed outside of Center visits and certain Powerful Pokémon’s Skills. You do not reduce maximum HP from Tireless HP reductions, you instead just cannot heal that amount of HP below your maximum.
1 — Medical Emergency! You fall unconscious immediately dropping to 0 HP. You must have medical attention at a Center to wake up.
5 — It’s getting really bad, you lose 50% of your max HP.
10 — Dizziness, you lose 25% of your max HP.
15 — You feel tired, you lose 15% of your max HP.

History
When it comes to the past of the world (or journey) History is where you’ll find it. When you learn of a place or significant event you may make a History Check to see how much you know about it. Your GM may ask for History Checks when you are unsure about an event happening in the past if you can reasonably know of it.
1 — You do not know anything about it.
5 — You’ve heard of the place/event in passing, you weren’t paying attention.
10 — You know about the place - any Gyms, major sights, famous people from there You know about the event - who/what/when/why it happened.

Investigate
When trying to find something’s purpose or locate a hidden item, Investigation can be used to find them. Your GM may ask for an Investigation Check when you want to find something hidden, in this case they determine the DC of the Check, rolling higher is always better.
Detect Residue: You can detect Psychic residue from those affected mentally by Psionics through careful questioning and observations. Different Psychic residues have a hue and a weight that can be sensed by Aura or by Psychics with their gifts and are identical across several minds it has touched, and once you meet its source it’s recognizable. You will not know the feature that applied the effect unless you roll high enough.
Programming
When confronted with a network of computers or when working undercover Programming allows for interaction in the digital world. When using these networks your GM may ask for a Programming Check contested by the Network itself or a Trainer’s Programing or Pokémon’s Intelligence within the network.
Supernatural: In settings without computers or with your GM’s approval Programming Checks may be used for the supernatural. When performing supernatural feats your GM may ask for a Programming Check which may be contested by another Character. If the Check is not contested you will not know what DC you need to make but, you should aim to roll as high as possible.

Diplomacy is often more efficient than battle and sometimes deception is needed for even honest heroes. When a key moment in a conversation has the possibility of swaying a Trainer or Pokémon your GM will ask for a Bluff/Diplomacy Check, you will not know what DC you need to make but, you should aim to roll as high as possible.
Perception
When in the moment some things may slip you by, Perception stops that from happening. You may be asked to roll perception by the GM* when you need to contest Stealthing Trainers/ Invisible Pokémon or when an event is occurring out of your immediate view. Your GM will not tell you the DC for these Checks or even why you are making them, but you want to roll high.
Passive Perception: 1/Round your GM may ask you to make a contested Perception Check as a Free Action versus any Invisible Character(s). Do not act as if you noticed anything if you fail this Check as your character didn’t.

Stealth
Stealth allows for you to get the jump on wilds and hide yourself better. Unlike other skills you declare your intent to Stealth, gaining the Hidden Condition from the Characters you are hiding from.

If it is a blast/burst/column move, it occupies all legal space of the move. This token lasts until the end of the next round. Next Round, if a move is used that targets the token and successfully rolls its AC, the token is removed and adds 2d4 to the Appeal Roll. During the Battle, the token cannot be destroyed until the round after it is created. When in a Battle, always lower the Opponents Contest Points from the Appeal Roll regardless of who made the Preparation Token. A performer cannot make another Preparation Token while that same performer already made a Preparation Token that is on the field, even if the Preparation attack would destroy the token. This keyword is applied even if this move’s Appeal is not selected.
Quick Set
The user can use their Move/Trainer Action first during initiative during the Battle next round. If more than one Pokemon is benefiting from Quick set apply the user’s speed. Only the user’s Move Action can be used first.
Resonance
Add Xd4 to the Appeal Roll where X is every different Resonance move the user previously used during the performance or battle. If a move gains the Sound Move Keyword, it gains Resonance. Then lower the Appeal Roll dice by 1d4 to a minimum of 0d4.
Reliable
Add Xd4 to the Appeal Roll where X is how many times the user successfully hit that move during the battle or performance.
Risky
These moves have high risk, but high reward. During a Performance Round, increase the AC of these moves by +2. During the battle, if the move damages the user, the user loses 1d4 of their Total Contest Points for every 10 points of damage the user takes from the move.
Round Starter
If it is the first round of the Battle or Performance, add 3d4 to the Appeal Roll.
Scrambler
Roll 1d10 then add the following to the Appeal Roll:
Result On d10 Additional Appeal
1 1
2-4 1d4
5-6 2d4
7-8 3d4
9 4d4
10 5d4
Seen Nothing Yet!
If the user rolled 5 or more Appeal last round, add 3d4 to the Appeal Roll. If you add the bonus 3d4, you cannot benefit from Seen Nothing Yet! during the rest of the Encounter.
Unsettling
During the Battle Round, this move cannot raise Voltage. Choose one of the judges and lower their Voltage by 1. During the Performance Round, if you lower a Judge’s Voltage add 2d4 to the Appeal Roll.
Contest Status Afflictions
Negative Status Afflictions
Asleep
On the first round of Sleep, a 11 or higher will wake an Asleep Character. On following turns, you must roll four less than the previous turn to wake up, capping at 3 (11,7,3).

A Trainer does not suffer the effects of Badly Poisoned while outside of an Encounter. Poison and Steel type Characters are immune to becoming Badly Poisoned.
Positive Status Afflictions
Critical Hit
When a Character rolls a Critical Hit they gain this status and their attack gains Never-Miss. The user of an attack that lands a Critical Hit adds the Damage Dice Roll a second time against the target, including any base amount in the Damage Dice Roll. The move ignores all positive combat stages on the target and all negative combat stages on the user. Critical Hit is lost after dealing the damage of the attack. The user adds 2d4 to the Appeal Roll as well as ignoring any effect that is lowering their Appeal Roll.
Dynamax-Surge
The first time this Pokémon would be affected by an attack or take the Move Action on its turn it Dynamaxes for the next 3 Rounds before resolving the Move. This Status is then lost. (While Dynamaxed, all d4’s in the Appeal Roll become d6’s)
Mega-Surge
The first time this Pokémon would be affected by an attack or take the Move Action on the initiative of its Mega statline it Mega Evolves for the next 10 minutes before resolving the Move. This Status is then lost. (A Mega Evolved Pokémon adds 1d4 to all of their total Appeal Rolls. This Status is then lost.)
Tera-Surge
The first time this Pokémon would be affected by an attack or take the Move Action it Terastalizes for the next 10 minutes before resolving the Move. This Status is then lost. (When using a move where damage is boosted from Terastalization, add 2d4 to the total Appeal Roll. This Status is then lost.)
Z-Surge
The first time this Pokémon would take the Move Action during its turn it selects its Z-Move according to its held Z-Crystal. This Status is then lost. (If the move becomes a boosted move from Z-Surge [typically from non-damaging moves], add 5d4 to the Appeal Roll. If the move would become a different move being Boosted from Z-Surge, replace the Move’s Contest Keywords and effects with the Z-Moves effect. If the Move adds Appeal Dice add it to the Appeal Dice of the Move it was used on.)
Voltage
All of the judges start at 1 Voltage for both contest rounds. The Voltage is seen by all performers during both rounds. The judges may have their favorite contest type of moves that they like to see and whenever that type is used increase the judge’s voltage by 1. If the opposite contest type of move is used, decrease the voltage by 1. Do know that a judge can like multiple different contest types. Or if the contest types are opposites, they just increase the voltage when used. Whenever a Voltage reaches their maximum a powerful boost of appeal is granted to the performer who increased the Voltage.
