I would call this a step in the right direction myself, but it could still use a bit of work. Take care giving Trainers Typing, it can cause some very terrifying things to happen in the wrong hands (not that it's a necessarily BAD thing, I can't imagine many people legitimately wanting something as relatively crippling as say, pure Ice typing, which, despite all the wonder PTU brought to Ice Types and their utilities, is still a pretty subpar Defensive Type on it's own without all the bells and whistles Abilities and Capabilities grant).

I'm probably not the best person to ask about how the Moves should work, I've never been the best at balancing Move-gaining with Classes.

I would also have a caveat where if the Spirit mon is a dual-typed mon, they only get to pick one of those types, or reword it so that they become the Primary type of their spirit mon.

Another thing to address might be the rare instances where a mon has more than two attributes as their highest, like the Infernape line. Or lines where the second highest-stat is shared between more than one stat, like with Samurott.

Also there are some mon where the highest stat spread changes drastically when they evolve, like Leavanny or Gyarados.

Evolution isn't an issue as after I made the change in the base feature I removed evolution from the equation.

You could simply word it to work similar to Base Relations, where, if there's a 3-way-or-greater tie for #1, or a 2-way-or-greater tie for #2, you're allowed to choose? For example, with a Ditto, you would be able to literally choose any two Stats. Obviously if the two highest Stats are tied, that's what you get for your Stat Tags.

Good point about the evolution, though now I'm picturing someone who (for some reason) chose a Magikarp as their spirit mon moving among a school of wild Gyarados who are incredibly confused by the strange-looking member of their species.

Maybe i should change that to react to you as if you were a member of their species.
I also want to be able to give people the power capability and non flight movement capabilities of their spirits but I am not sure how to go about it without it getting broken.

No, no, right now it actually offers as many opportunities to the GM as to the player; because if they fall in with a mon that has Pack Mon and sees you as part of the hierarchy, you could be looking at some really interesting times one way or another.

As for the non-flight movement capabilities, to be honest man that's an entire can of worms that's probably best left sealed. Burrow, Levitate and Swim are all generally covered by the various elemental connection classes in GoT, if they're granted at all, and as this is a primarily combat-focused class the player is going to be raising their Athletics and Acrobatics anyway, which increases Movement and Power.
