Warp tile

For the type of special tile featured in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, see Dungeon Tiles.

A Warp or Teleport tile is a special tile featured in games since Generation I. Once stepped upon, the player is transported instantly to a connecting warp tile elsewhere. The connecting warp tile could be anywhere, generally within the building that the player is exploring.

In the games

Generation I and FireRed/LeafGreen

The warp tile is first and predominately found in Silph Co.'s head office building in Saffron City. Inside there is a mass network of the tiles, which the player has to navigate through in order to complete the task. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this task was made easier, as the floor number was displayed each time the player was transported. Warp tiles are also found in Saffron Gym. Warp tiles in Kanto are indicated by a diamond.

Generation II

Unlike the preceding generation, warp tiles are rare in Generation II. In Johto, one can be found in the Team Rocket base in Mahogany Town, which, unlike standard warp tiles, transports the player to a normal tile instead of another warp tile. Warp tiles can also be found in Saffron Gym in Kanto. Warp tiles in Johto are indicated by a diamond.

Generation III

Generation III has fewer warp tiles than Generation III. In Hoenn, the only place warp tiles can be found is the Mossdeep Gym. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, warp tiles only serve as a quick exit from the gym from Tate & Liza's area. They have an expanded role in Pokémon Emerald, where warp tiles are used to traverse the gym's maze similar to the Saffron Gym. Exclusive to Hoenn are one-way warp tiles, where the tile on the other end of the warp does nothing if stepped on; the only such tile is at the Mossdeep Gym's entrance. Warp tiles in Hoenn are indicated by a circle.
