Dungeon tiles are game elements exclusive to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, its sequel and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. In each dungeon, the floor is made up of square sections called "dungeon tiles." The square shape is typically not evident if a player is simply looking at the floor, but the tiles can be seen by performing certain actions.

Dungeon tiles

Image Tile Details
StairsUp.pngStairsDown.png Stairs To further advance in a dungeon, a player must find the stairs. On the last floor of most dungeons, it will take the team out of the dungeon. The stairs can go up or down, depending on if the player is to descend to the dungeon's basement floor or to the top of it.
WarpTrap.png Warp Points Warp Points are found at the last floor of some optional dungeons. It instantly warps the team out of the dungeon.
WonderTile.png Wonder Tile Varying numbers of these can be found on a floor, if the dungeon contains them at all. If there is a yellow arrow above the player's or partner's head (indicating a status problem such as lowered defense, accuracy, etc.), stepping on one of these will restore the normal state. However, it also cancels stat increments of the Pokémon.
KecleonCarpet.png Carpet If the player finds a Kecleon shop, items are placed on these. The player may either buy or steal the items; however, thieves are confronted by many high-level Kecleon.

Traps

Traps are special dungeon tiles that makes the game harder to play. These tiles can make the team's Pokémon lose HP, PP, inflict status ailments, etc. These tiles will not affect enemy Pokémon unless spawned by a player's Trapper Orb. Issue #47 of Pokémon News claims that at least Pitfall Traps are appearing because of recent natural disasters.

Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team

PitfallTrap.png Pitfall Trap If the player steps on it, it will inflict 5 HP damage and drop the team one floor below. When an ally steps on it, the team member will be instantly removed from the dungeon. If a client as part of a mission steps on it, the mission fails and the team will return to base. Pitfall Traps will only appear in dungeons that have stairs going down.
StickyTrap.png Sticky Trap If the player steps on this tile, it will make the player's hold item sticky. A sticky item cannot be removed if it is a held item, and it will be rendered useless until the dungeon is completed. If an ally steps on it, it will make their hold item sticky. If the player steps on the tile and is not holding an item, a random item in the inventory will become sticky. If an ally is not holding an item and steps on it, nothing will happen.

It will take away half of the player's and allies current HP, and does 40 damage to wild Pokémon. It also destroys items and walls within the radius. If a Pokémon with the Ability Drizzle or Damp is present on the floor, or if the current weather is Rain, the tile will have no effect. Fire-type Pokémon will only take half damage.
ExplosionTrap.png Explosion Trap Similar to the Selfdestruct Trap, this tile explodes when stepped on and does damage to Pokémon within a 2-tile radius. It will take away half of the player's and allies current HP, and does 80 damage to wild Pokémon. It also destroys items and walls within the radius. If a Pokémon with the Ability Drizzle or Damp is present on the floor, or if the current weather is Rain, the tile will have no effect. Fire-type Pokémon will only take half damage.

SlumberTrap.png Slumber Trap This Trap puts the Pokémon who stepped on it to sleep.

Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, Explorers of Sky and WiiWare

Since several new moves that were introduced in Generation IV, some new Traps reflecting these new moves were introduced. Those new Traps that reflect the new moves are Toxic Spikes (created by using Toxic Spikes) and Stealth Rock (created by using Stealth Rock). However, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky introduced two more new Traps exclusive to Explorers of Sky which only appeared in a certain few dungeons in the game, those traps are the Grudge Trap and the Random Trap.

Other

There are many other tiles present, which limits the access to only specific Pokémon.

  • Water tiles - Special areas of water, which only Water-type Pokémon, Pokémon who fly or levitate, and Pokémon with the IQ skills All-Terrain Hiker, Super Mobile, or Absolute Mover can walk through. Dive can only be used on these tiles and Dig cannot be used on these tiles.
  • Lava - Special areas of lava, which only Fire-type Pokémon, Pokémon who fly or levitate, and Pokémon with the IQ skills All-Terrain Hiker, Super Mobile, or Absolute Mover can walk through. However, a Pokémon that is not a Fire-type or that does not have the Lava Walker IQ Skill will be burned when walking through lava. Dig cannot be used on these tiles.
  • Walls - Walls surround dungeons; however, some Pokémon which seem to fly or levitate, such as Ghost-type Pokémon, can pass through on top of them. However, passing through walls makes the belly drop five points per turn (strangely, this only applies to the player and not to partners or enemies). Walls can also be passed through if the player uses a Mobile Orb, holds a Mobile Scarf, or has the IQ skills Super Mobile or Absolute Mover.
  • Air - Holes in the dungeon's floor that can only be crossed by Flying/Levitating Pokémon or those with the IQ skills All-Terrain Hiker, Super Mobile, or Absolute Mover. Dig cannot be used on these tiles.
