Gates:Team Attack

Team Attack (Japanese: ???) is a game mechanic in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. It is unlocked after completing Desolate Canyon early on in the story, when the hero and partner form their team and receive Team Badges, which are necessary to perform Team Attacks.

Using a Team Attack

While adventuring in a dungeon, if the player's party consists of more than one Pokémon, they will become in sync. When the party is fully in sync, a yellow Team Badge icon to the left of the leader's name on the top screen. When this happens, a Team Attack can be used by holding L and pressing the big button that appears on the touch screen. After it's used, it will take a while before the party is fully in sync again.

Methods to get in sync

According to the game, the following makes getting in sync faster:

• Haiving more party members.
• Holding a Coalition Scarf (up to 4, one on each party member).
• Being affected by the V-Wave effect "Easier Team Attacks".
• Being surrounded by enemies.
• A party member getting on low HP.

While the sync value isn't shown to the player, it can be analyzed using hacking tools. The value goes from 0 to 4000, and resets back to 0 when a Team Attack is used. It increases on each turn when certain things happen, such as walking.

Effects

Using a Team Attack damages all foes in the area. The more party members, the higher the damage dealt to enemies is. It also has additional effects that change depending on the type of the leader.
