In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, moves function differently from the core series games. Each move has its own range (Japanese: こうかはんい effect range prior to Gates to Infinity, はんい range Gates to Infinity onwards) that determines what tiles they affect. Additionally, each move has its own target (Japanese: あいて) classification that determines specific Pokémon affected.
There are certain things to note about how range works:
- A move that cannot cut corners will fail if used diagonally and there is a wall between the user and the target. Moves that can't cut corners will be able to do so when performed by a Pokémon that can travel through walls or a gigantic Pokémon.
- A confused Pokémon will hit team members with moves that target enemies, and enemies with moves that target allies, unless prevented by an effect such as Nontraitor IQ skill or Self-Control Team Skill.
- Prior to Gates to Infinity, this also includes the user affecting themselves with moves that target the entire room or floor.
- Room-wide moves also target the tiles that border the room. In a hallway:
- Prior to Gates to Infinity, such move by default hits targets two tiles within the user (certain dungeons will restrict this to just one tile). The move will not extend into the hallway if on the edge of a room.
- Since Gates to Infinity, if the Pokémon is on the edge of a room, the attack will extend into the hallway.
- In Super Mystery Dungeon, the default range in hallways is now 3 tiles for party members and just one tile for enemies.
- If a Pokémon is in middle of semi-invulnerable turn, projectiles will go through it.
- Prior to Gates to Infinity, if a Pokémon faints in middle of a multi-strike move, the projectile will keep going and can target a new Pokémon.
- Since Gates to Infinity, multi-strike projectiles will damage only the first target in line.
- Prior to Super Mystery Dungeon, projectiles hit allies by default, unless prevented by Gap Prober IQ skill, Slip-Through Team Skill or an exclusive item.
- Pokémon inside the walls cannot be hit unless the user can travel through walls, or has used a move that hits multiple tiles at once (except for moves with piercing when used by normal Pokémon).
- In Red and Blue Rescue Team, as well as Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, moves that could hit two tiles ahead would be able to hit a target inside either wall tile.
In Super Mystery Dungeon, these moves will hit only a wall directly in front of the user, similarly to normal projectiles. - In Gates to Infinity only, the Mobile status does not allow moves to hit inside walls unless they could already do so.
- In Red and Blue Rescue Team, as well as Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, moves that could hit two tiles ahead would be able to hit a target inside either wall tile.
- For certain moves, the AI is designed to not use the full range. For example, in Red and Blue Rescue Team, as well as Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, AI will treat Powder Snow as if it hit only in front of the user.
The following is a list of all range categories as they are displayed in-game.
