The Expedition Society (Japanese: 調査団 Investigation Team) is an organization in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon. Members go on missions with the aim of completing the Pokémon Nexus, while investigating incidents and helping other Pokémon. The Expedition Society consists of the player, their partner, Ampharos, Mawile, Jirachi, Buizel, Archen, Dedenne, Bunnelby, and Swirlix. The Society has a base in Lively Town.

History

Personalities and characteristics

  • Ampharos is the chief of the Expedition Society, and also refers to himself as the "Dashing Wanderer". With an extremely bad sense of direction, he is very careless and prone to getting lost when traveling on his own. Ampharos is also laid-back, and will even overwrite his own rules on a whim.
  • Mawile is the archaeologist. She spends her time studying the history of the world. She is also one of the most powerful members of the Society, as noted by Archen.
  • Jirachi was born in Star Cave. He is the astronomer, and a self-proclaimed genius capable of fixing the Pokémon Nexus. He sleeps most of the time and is not easily awakened.
  • Buizel is the marine explorer. He is brave, but also reckless, willing to challenge powerful opponents even when instructed not to.
  • Archen is the aerial explorer, despite his inability to fly. He is also shown to be often the straight man of the expedition society as he usually tries to think situations through first.
  • Dedenne transmits signals between Exploration Society members.
  • Bunnelby is the on-foot and underground explorer.
  • Swirlix is the steward who prepares dinner for the Society every night. However, she is a glutton with an extremely ravenous hunger, so she eats much of the food she makes. She also thinks of almost nothing but food, even in the most inappropriate times.

Trivia

  • Jirachi mentions being born in Star Cave, the location in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky where Jirachi is found.
    • Jirachi's behavior while asleep further parallels the Jirachi encountered in Star Cave; it groggily warns the player and apologizes before attacking in its sleep, and it causes the surrounding area to tremble as it emits a burst of light before it finally springs awake, though with no recollection of any interactions it had while asleep.
      • It is unknown if they are the same individual or not.
  • Swirlix is the only member of the expedition society you never visit a story dungeon with.
