Plot

Main article: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Plot

Blurb

You can meet and recruit Pokémon in a dungeon-crawling adventure within their world! Build a rescue team to take on mysterious, changing dungeons and strategically plan your moves as you venture forth to make the Pokémon world a safer place…and uncover your true purpose along the way.

As you recruit Pokémon, these trusty teammates will need somewhere to stay, so build camps to house, manage, and strengthen your Pokémon friends. Think hard about who is right for the job and how to approach each mysterious dungeon as you prepare a rescue team. You’ll move a single square at a time or use Auto mode to speed up movement until you engage other Pokémon in turn-based battles—but don’t forget about Pokémon strengths and weaknesses! This version adds gorgeous watercolor-inspired graphics, and more! Get comfortable in being a Pokémon, there’s a lot of work to do.

  • Wake up in the world of Pokémon and uncover your true purpose
  • Dungeon layouts will change each time you enter them, so you’ll likely not have the same adventure twice
  • Build a rescue team to explore dungeons and engage in strategic turn-based combat
  • Pokémon are available to meet and recruit
  • This version adds gorgeous watercolor-inspired graphics, and more!

Features

Inherited from later Mystery Dungeon games

  • The Fairy type and cross-generational Evolutions related to the Pokémon of the first three Generations (such as Sylveon and Mantyke) are present in the game. Riolu and Lucario are also present.
  • Pokémon may undergo Mega Evolution.
  • Certain Pokémon may be gigantic, utilizing a 3×3 tile area around them.
  • Pokémon can now be recruited regardless of the player's current team composition. Most legendary Pokémon are automatically recruited after their first or second defeat, as opposed to the original, where they behaved the same as other recruits.
    • Although the initial team limit is still three, the player can recruit defeated Pokémon until they have a party of 8. If the player already has 8 Pokémon on the team, they can choose to dismiss one of the Pokémon for the new one.
    • The hero and partner now count as recruited Pokémon.
  • The speed at which HP regenerates over time is inversely proportional to a Pokémon's max HP, rather than proportional, dropping to a minimum rate of 1 HP every 2 steps at 100 max HP. HP will also no longer regenerate on turns where moves or items were used.
    • HP no longer regenerates faster near team members.
  • Belly decreases at a higher rate per turn, refills less from Seeds and Berries, and more HP is consumed at zero Belly.
  • Weather types, effects, and durations from Super Mystery Dungeon are used.
    • Hostile weather deals 3 damage as in the Explorers games.
    • New cataclysm weather types are added.
  • The team leader can push other Pokémon, and switching places with a teammate lets them act immediately. Switching can also be done while confused, but not over impassable terrain, and team members will warp near the leader when forced onto impassable terrain. The leader can also stop two tiles in front of enemies when running.
  • Team members can automatically pick up nearby items in dungeons, adjust their movement to use ranged attacks, and ignore visible traps. Enemy Pokémon prioritize moving forward in hallways and can turn around when targeted.
    • Team members can no longer pick up items that were already stood upon or thrown by the team and will not attempt to, but now attempt to pick up items or Poké when the Toolbox is full.
    • Team members can once again activate Monster Houses.
    • Enemy Pokémon no longer adjust their movement for ranged attacks.
  • Wild Pokémon in dungeons can have more HP than normal, with their HP returning to normal when they are recruited. Additionally, their movesets may also change when recruited.
    • This is especially noticeable in Unown Relic, where all of the wild Unown are level 37, which would normally result in an HP of 65, but in later floors they can have over 200 HP.
  • Enemies can drop Treasure Boxes.
    • These are now limited to the Pretty Box and Deluxe Box, and are opened automatically upon leaving a dungeon.
  • Prior to Boss encounters, the Rescue Team will be fully healed. Bosses do not give experience points, and Wonder Orbs can be used. Bosses heal status conditions within a couple of turns.
  • Kecleon Shops are highlighted on the map, span an entire room, and will prompt payment before leaving instead of after. Kecleon cannot be pushed out of their shops and Trawl Orbs do not target merchandise. Neutral Kecleon disregard weather damage and Pass Scarfs and do not become hostile from explosions or flinging damage. When stealing, Kecleon can attack immediately and will spawn additionally near the stairs, while other Pokémon stop spawning and leave the floor.
    • Kecleon only greets the player once when entering and exiting the shop, and will not be affected by Blast Seeds.
    • De-spawned Pokémon no longer leave behind Warp Seeds.
  • Fainted Pokémon can be found within dungeons.
    • These Pokémon will always have a random Rare quality given to them.
  • Most traps in dungeons break immediately after being stepped on.
  • Team tactics are updated and do not require unlocking.
  • Enemy Abilities and types can be viewed in the user interface.
  • An option to look around the current room within a dungeon is available.
  • The Message Log can extend to previous floors in a dungeon and no longer displays weather damage, while earned experience points are delegated to the full log.
  • The player can now pre-set teams, and the amount of these pre-sets is increased with Rescue Rank.
  • Teammates in camps will get experience points, even if they do not go on a mission.
  • Each Pokémon within an evolutionary family have the same base and level-up stats, barring the Eevee, Magikarp, Nincada, and Feebas families, and have the same level-up requirements.
  • Moves and effects are updated. Attacks deal at least 1 damage and are capped at 999.
  • Offensive move experience returns, with moves receiving increased power, accuracy, and PP as they rank up.
  • Starter Pokémon have various egg, TM, and tutor moves learned by default.
    • These can be freely relearned.
  • Status moves are turned off by default.
  • Projectile attacks do not hit teammates.
  • TMs can no longer be Recycled, which instead changes a Plain Seed to a different Seed or an Oran Berry.
    • Rainbow TMs are not featured, though regular TMs now use the rainbow coloration.
  • Wide Slash and Vacuum-Cut are not featured.
  • Pokémon with multiple Abilities only have one at a time instead of both.
  • Pokémon have a Speed stat.
    • Occasionally, a team member can repeat the move they previously used in the same turn, with the chance increasing the higher the user's Speed. This does not consume PP and can take effect even if the first move defeats its target, while granting extra move experience. This is similar to the effect of the Barrage emera from Super Mystery Dungeon.
    • Higher Speed reduces the chances of a trap activating.
  • Travel Speed mechanics are updated.
  • Wands are available, Oran Berries can increase max HP temporarily, Blast Seeds are stronger and are not penalized in Boss battles, Max Elixirs remove the Sealed status, and Grimy Food has different effects.
    • Max Ethers replace Elixirs. Wild Abra now drop Max Ethers.
    • Golden, Vile, Encourage, and Soothing Seeds are removed.
    • Blast, Quarter, and Truant Wands are removed.
    • Grimy Food can now also inflict Lethargic.
  • Registered throwing items are shared between team members.
  • The Insomniscope does not prevent Rest.
  • Joy Ribbons grant experience points based on turns rather than damage.
  • Defeated teammates remain visible for the duration of the floor and can be manually revived with Reviver Seeds if chosen.
    • Revive All Orbs do not work on guest Pokémon upon advancing to a later floor.
  • Fainting in a dungeon results in a total loss of all items in the Toolbox, in addition to all Poké.
  • The player can rescue themselves if they are defeated in a dungeon, in addition to rescuing other players.
    • Defeat also gives an option to restart the dungeon. Any completion of missions will be retained.

Other differences from Red and Blue Rescue Team

  • A shortcut from the Team Base to the Pelipper Post Office is created by Diglett the day after the completion of Thunderwave Cave for the first time.
  • Persian gives a reward once every day after a transaction at Felicity Bank.
  • Gulpin's Link Shop now links moves for free.
    • After Sky Tower has been completed for the first time, Move Tutor moves may be learned through Gulpin, for some Poké.
    • Deoxys can now remember level-up moves from Gulpin.
  • Smeargle now allows the player to select from one of its 15 unique flag designs—or the player's original flag design—as opposed to cycling through its options. Smeargle can be also called as many times per day as the player likes.
  • Rescue Ranks have been revamped.
    • The Toolbox's size will increase with the player's rank.
    • The accommodation size for the various Friend Camps and the maximum jobs that can be accepted at a time increase depending on the player's rank.
    • The highest rank is no longer called Lucario Rank, but instead Grand Master.
  • The Makuhita Dojo has been revamped. Only one Pokémon may enter at a time. They will be given a small, one floor dungeon with no staircase to explore. In addition, it is open immediately on the first visit to Pokémon Square, unlike the original.
    • Pokémon can now only enter a maze that is the same name as their type. Dual-type Pokémon can choose between either of their types.
    • The player is given a time limit and experience multiplier, depending on the ticket given.
      • Bronze Dojo Tickets give the player a 3× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 50-second time-limit.
      • Silver Dojo Tickets give the player a 5× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 55-second time-limit.
      • Gold Dojo Tickets give the player a 7× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 60-second time-limit.
      • Using a super effective move against a Pokémon once will yield even more experience.
    • Mazes have also been changed. Mazes contain Pokémon who are weak to the namesake maze type, except for the Normal Maze.
    • If the Pokémon faints in the Dojo, it will be revived without the need of a Reviver Seed.
    • No PP is consumed for using moves in the Dojo.
  • Friend Areas and the Wigglytuff Club are replaced by rescue team camps and Wigglytuff's Camp Corner, respectively.
    • The Sky-Blue Plains are now automatically given to the team, rather than needing to be unlocked randomly as a mission reward.
  • There will be a daily exploration bonus with one of the dungeons' names sparkling. The bonus will provide the player with extra Poké earned along with a higher probability of Treasure Boxes being dropped.
  • In dungeons with multiple parts—such as Mt. Thunder—reaching a checkpoint will no longer count as "making it out" for recruited Pokémon. Additionally, the floor count does not reset.
  • Munchlax's cameo event can happen at any point in the story. Upon giving Munchlax an Apple, Munchlax will reward the player with unique held items or gummis.
  • The pool of TMs has been changed to match that of Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.
  • After Tiny Woods has been completed for the first time, players can switch leaders at any time in a dungeon by pushing +.
  • In the original, all but nine fully-evolved Pokémon could not be recruited and had to be obtained by Evolution. Now, all wild fully evolved Pokémon can be directly recruited, although some of them cannot be found anywhere in dungeons anymore, and have to be obtained by Evolution regardless.
  • The names of the player's main character, partner, and rescue team can be changed in the main menu, instead of being permanent.
  • The four dungeons linked to Nintendo events or Wonder Mail codes—Oddity Cave, Remains Island, Fantasy Strait, and Marvelous Sea—can now be accessed through normal gameplay.
    • Oddity Cave can be accessed once the player has beaten Mt. Steel for the first time.
    • Remains Island can be accessed once the player has beaten Sky Tower for the first time.
    • Fantasy Strait and Marvelous Sea can be accessed once the player has beaten Western Cave for the first time.
  • Illusory Grotto can be accessed briefly after the player has fainted and gives up rescue in a dungeon without having revival items anywhere. The number of floors and Pokémon encountered there vary.
  • Some dungeons' lengths have been changed; most notably, Western Cave is now only 20 floors, as opposed to 99, while Mt. Faraway is now 60 floors instead of 40.
  • Later dungeons, such as Far-Off Sea and Waterfall Pond, no longer require a team member to know specific HMs or have a specific type to be accessed.

New features and changes

The following changes are in regard to Super Mystery Dungeon:

  • Auto mode: Pressing the L Button will automatically move the player and their team until an enemy or mission target is approached or the button is pressed again. If the player is near the former, they cannot enable auto mode.
  • The regular attack is no longer usable by the leader Pokémon. Pressing the A Button now selects an optimal attacking move against an opponent.
    • Pressing R + A or pressing A with no eligible attack executes Trap Finder, revealing traps one tile around the leader, similar to the regular attack.
    • Regular attacks from other Pokémon are no longer capped at 5 damage.
  • Holding R + A will skip turns, rather than A + B. Looking around a room is also mapped to the right control stick.
  • The game now autosaves per turn, and can be loaded from inside dungeons.
  • Pokémon announce their moves via chat bubbles. The leader can also vocalize when encountering an enemy and using auto mode, and all team members can vocalize when getting attacked, healed, reaching critical HP, or defeating an enemy.
  • Teammates now step on Training Switches and Wonder Tiles automatically, and can prompt the use of status-curing berries and Heal Seeds in addition to Oran Berries.
    • Teammates no longer autonomously cover attacks or heal certain status conditions on adjacent allies, and item prompts now consume their turn.
  • As in older games, interacting with teammates will always prompt dialogue, while speaking with mission clients will make them pose.
  • It is now possible to recruit defeated enemies that are up to two tiles away from the leader.
  • Enemy Pokémon that defeat an ally or other enemy Pokémon (in the case of Shedinja and certain targeting moves such as Earthquake) will no longer evolve, but instead become empowered (awakened) after the main story is completed. This can trigger Mega Evolution, if applicable.
  • Items and enemies in dungeons prior to the postgame are visible on the map by default.
  • Items will dim after being stood upon or thrown by the player.
    • Enemy Pokémon cannot pick up items until certain dungeons in the postgame, unless the player interacted with the item.
  • Many animations that target multiple Pokémon are sped-up.
  • Linked moves that run out of PP do not automatically unlink the entire set anymore and will simply use the moves with remaining PP. They also only consume 1 Belly regardless and no longer factor into earned experience points. When defeating an enemy Pokémon with Linked Moves, they will only faint after the last move of the set it used.
  • Evolution increases HP by 10 and other stats by 3.
    • Evolution items have been replaced with Evolution Crystals which are consumed whenever a Pokémon with Evolution requirements outside of level wishes to evolve.
  • False Swipe functions like in Gates to Infinity, increasing recruitment rate, and the bonus is increased.
  • Fire Pledge, Water Pledge, and Grass Pledge are modified to account for the lack of Alliances.
  • Covet and Thief do not take held items from the Toolbox.
  • Transform only has a chance to confuse opponents.
  • Pickup can activate while holding an item.
  • Technician utilizes the base power of a move.
  • Natural Recovery is renamed back to Natural Cure.
  • Poison and Burn deal significantly more damage, but tick at longer intervals. Poison also no longer prevents HP regeneration.
  • Frozen Pokémon are no longer immune to damage, and Paralysis lasts significantly longer, but both statuses can wear off upon taking damage, similar to Sleep.
  • Apples can no longer be fresh.
  • New Wonder Orbs are added.
    • One-Shot Orbs are now room-wide.
    • Trawl Orbs can break open walls to obtain items within.
  • Geo Pebbles are stronger, but only target in a straight line. Silver Spikes have a built-in pierce effect.
  • Held items can be swapped between team members.
  • Tiny Reviver Seeds and Reviver Seeds no longer have the "Eat" option in the menu. They can still be consumed when Terrified, however.
  • Stair tiles once again take affect after enemy turns at the default Travel Speed. However, Ditto Traps no longer give Ditto a turn immediately.
    • The stairs now appear in the Underfoot section of the item menu.
  • Trip Traps remove 2-3 unequipped items instead of the victim's hold item.
  • Portraits for Meowth, Psyduck, Skitty, and Wigglytuff are updated.

Rare qualities

Main article: Rare quality
  • Pokémon may now have rare qualities, a passive bonus that affects the entire team within dungeons. This system functionally replaces the IQ skills, Team Skills, and emeras from previous games.
  • Gummis are reduced to two varieties.
    • Rainbow Gummis will raise a stat at random, and will sometimes give the Pokémon a new rare quality.
    • DX Gummis will raise a stat at random, and will always give the Pokémon a new rare quality.
  • Locked doors have been replaced by Mystery Houses, unlocked through Invitations rather than Keys. Unlocking these rooms gives the player multiple helpful items along with up to three random Pokémon with a rare quality. This is the only way to recruit Riolu.

Strong foes and Shiny Pokémon

The picture used in this article is unsatisfactory.
Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions.
Reason: Needs RTDX shiny portraits
  • 27 dungeons, after being completed for the first time, have "strong foes" that may spawn. These enemies are at significantly higher levels than the other enemies and are guaranteed to drop a Deluxe Box upon defeat. These Pokémon also have a chance of being Shiny.
    • Shiny Pokémon can only be recruited using the Friend Bow.
    • Non-shiny strong foes cannot be recruited, even if the Pokémon who defeats them is holding a Friend Bow.
    • The only Shiny Pokémon not acquired through this method is Celebi, who can be recruited in Mystery Houses in Western Cave after clearing Purity Forest for the first time.

Characters

Playable characters

The Pokémon selection screen

The player is able to choose one of the 16 returning Pokémon from the original game as their hero and partner Pokémon. However, the partner cannot be the same type as the player. The player may, as in the prior Nintendo DS titles, choose the player Pokémon using a personality quiz, or as in the WiiWare and Nintendo 3DS titles, choose a Pokémon themselves. Unlike the original games, the player character choices are not restricted by the player's selected gender and the partner is not restricted to first partner Pokémon anymore. If the assigned nature has two Pokémon associated with the chosen gender, one of the two is chosen at random.

Missions

The picture used in this section is unsatisfactory.
Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions.
Reason: Needs RTDX portraits

Unlike in original game, Wonder Mail is not used as a way to share job requests with other players, and instead grants special missions. Completing a mission will offer the client as a recruitable team member. However, note that missions can only be attempted if the player has already completed the relevant dungeon in the main story.

  • The "Mystery Dungeon" text font for the logo is based on the European design used for previous games, even for the North American release.
  • Although this was released during Generation VIII, nothing introduced during said generation exists in this game, including new moves and Abilities.
