Adventure Squad:Pokémon
Pokémon (Japanese: ポケモン) are both the enemy monsters as well as player characters in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing, Light, and Stormy Adventure Squad. Each Pokémon belongs to 1 or 2 of 17 Types and can learn up to 4 Moves that also belong to said types. Some rare exceptions allow certain Pokémon to have more than 2 types, but never at the same time, the can be made to switch out 1 type for another. Combat takes place exclusively in Dungeons and the type of the Pokémon and their moves directly impacts how successful and attack might be. Each Pokémon has a size ranging anywhere from 1 ★ to 5 ★. The size of the Pokémon plays into where they belong in a Pokémon Stack
. Pokémon Stack's allow Pokémon to combine their attacks into a chain and deal extra damage in a single turn.
Pokémon defeated in dungeons might request to join the player's squad and will join the current dungeon party so long as there's room. If the dungeon party is at the max of 4 Pokémon, one will have to be chose to be returned to the Pokémon Village/Pokémon Beach/Pokémon Garden. Once a Pokémon is recruited it joins the selection of playable characters unless it is dismissed. 20 Pokémon can be recruited automatically through the use of Friend Passwords
, including several Shiny Pokémon.
7 Pokémon were only available through official events, those 7 being Mew, Jirachi, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Darkrai and Arceus.
