Rescue Team:Trap

Traps (Japanese: スイッチ, Switch) are hazardous floor tiles found in dungeons in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team. They cause various effects when tripped. Aside from traps, additional special floor tiles exist in dungeons such as carpet, which is used to denote the land is part of a Kecleon Market or the Rescue Spot which the player has to reach to revive a fallen player. Most traps aren't available until the post-credits section of the story.

Uncovering Traps

Aside from walking over traps, the second easiest way to uncover them is by attacking the tile directly in front of the player character. Eating an Eyedrop Seed will "restore" the leader's vision, causing them to be able to see traps. With the IQ Skill Trap Seer, the leader will uncover traps when stepping on them without activating them. If an Eyedrop Seed is eaten beforehand, it will still not be set off on the first step. Using a See-Trap Orb will reveal all traps in the room.
