A Partner Pokémon (Japanese: パートナーのポケモン or パートナーポケモン Partner Pokémon) is a Pokémon who accompanies the player on their adventure. Partner Pokémon play major roles in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and the Pokémon Ranger series.
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the player's partner is chosen after the player Pokémon is determined. The partner Pokémon cannot be of the same species or type as the player.
Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team
At the beginning of the game, the player is presented with a quiz that decides which Pokémon he or she will play as, and then the partner is chosen (see below). The player and partner are the only playable Pokémon until the first mission is completed and a Friend Area is purchased. After the player has completed the main story, what Pokémon may be used as the main character is now an option, and the partner is not required for subsequent missions. If the partner Pokémon was knocked out during missions prior to finishing the main storyline, it counts as a failure of the mission.
