==Allies==
==Allies==
Allies are Pokémon that follow the party, but are not in the party, meaning that the player has more limited control over them. These can appear as story characters, in missions, or as part of the recruiting process in Rescue Team and Rescue Team DX. The maximum amount of allies can be different from the maximum amount of party members, although the latter affects the former, as more party members can mean less slots for allies.
