This page explains Team Mechanics as a gameplay element in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon video games.
Team
In each game, the player forms a Team. Recruited or befriended Pokémon become a part of the team, which then allows the player to add them to their party when adventuring in a dungeon, if the story and the dungeon itself allow it.
Party
Party refers to Pokémon that are part of a team and are currently in use in a dungeon by the member of that team, controlled by the player. Some game allow a maximum of 3 party members, while others allow 4.
The Hero
Hero Characters are special party members, as they are the main character controlled by the player and are thus affected by different mechanics compared to other team members.
The Partner
Partner Characters are story characters that are part of the team and can be affected by different mechanics compared to other team members.
Allies
Allies are Pokémon that follow the party, but are not in the party, meaning that the player has 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.
Story
In some games, allies may join the player in dungeons during certain parts of the story.
Escorts
Some missions may require the player to escort a Pokémon to a specific location.
Helpers
A player may temporarily receive Helper Pokémon from other players.
Recruits
In Rescue Team and Rescue Team DX, the player needs to complete the adventure successfully in order to fully add a Pokémon to the team. Before this, recruited Pokémon are allies, not party members.
Djinn's Bottle
In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, the Djinn's Bottle allows Hoopa to join the player as an ally. When talked to, Hoopa can summon more ally Pokémon.
Max Party Members and Allies
The maximum amunt of party members can affect the maximum amount of allies. The more party members, the less allies. Keep in mind that the party always has at least one member, the leader.
Game | Max Party | Max Allies | Max Total |
