Dungeons (Japanese: ダンジョン) are a type of Location in Template:GameTitle. Gameplay in dungeons works differently than in the overworld. Dungeon gameplay is turn-based, operating on a grid of tiles.

Tiles

There are different types of tiles, aside from the standard ground tiles; such as Carpet used to denote Shops, Wonder Tiles which reset Stats, or Traps. Pokémon traverse dungeons one tile at a time, and only the Hero or Team Mebers are capable of setting off traps.

Special Tiles

Some tiles can only be traversed if the Pokémon has the Super Mobile or All-Terrain Hiker IQ Skills, or a specific Movement Type. The different movement types allow the Pokémon to walk across or through;

Floors

Each dungeon is organized into 3 - 99 floors, each floor containing a set of Stairs, a Warp Tile, or an exit of some sort.

Walls

Without walls, every dungeon would be a Great Hall. Dungeons are usually separated into smaller Rooms. Walls can be removed with a Wonder Orb called the One-Room Orb, the move Rock Smash, or the aforementioned skill Super Mobile.

Terrain

Dungeon floors and walls are comprised of different types of terrain. The different terrain determines the Type and power of the move Hidden Power and Camouflage changes the user's type based on the terrain.


Foes

With only a few exceptions, every floor of every dungeon is filled with hostile Pokémon known as foes. Most Pokémon are standard-issue foes, though there are a number that also appear as Bosses, or special enemies, such as Jirachi, a boss, Mew, a special enemy or Team Meanies, a hostile Rescue Team that's treated as a boss fight in Sinister Woods.

Turns

Standard gameplay has the player traversing through dungeon floors, dealing with hostile Pokémon as they appear gathering items to aid in survival, and making it to the next floor. Most Pokémon are only capable of moving, attacking, using an item, or other actions one at a time. However, there are some methods to increase Movement Speed and attack speed, such as Agility.
