Gates:Tactics

For the lore page, see Pkmn:Tactics.

The Tactics Meeting menu.

Tactics (Japanese: さくせん, Tactics) are a game mechanic in  Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity that changes the way party members other than the leader behave inside a dungeon. The player can change a Pokémon's tactic by opening the menu with X while inside a dungeon, selecting "Status" and then "Tactics Meeting" (Japanese: さくせんかいぎ, Tactics Meeting). From there, the tactic of each individual Pokémon can be changed, as well as changing it for all of them at once by selecting "All Members". Let's go together is the default tactic. The tactics of Pokémon that aren't Team members can't be changed, even if they are in the party. This menu also allows the player to change the leader to the Pokémon the cursor is on by pressing Y.
