Kecleon Shop in a dungeon

Kecleon Shops (Japanese: カクレオンのおみせ) are shops that appear in dungeons in Game Boy Advance/Nintendo DS Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team. They do not have a set floor to appear on, instead randomly appearing throughout the dungeon (however, they seemingly appear more frequently in dungeons that have the requirement of Pokémon being level 1 upon entering)[Citation needed]. It functions somewhat similar to the Kecleon Shops in Pokémon Square, being that the player can sell and buy Items there. However, instead of being in front of a counter, it is sold on a mat.

Unlike the Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square, however, the player cannot exchange other dialogue like that in Pokémon Square (such as learning about the shop), as talking to the Kecleon will only result in "I'm looking forward to serving you again!" The Kecleon running the shop is represented by a red dot, which is a key factor in what's further down.

Mechanics

Buying

In order to buy an item, a player must step over one of the items present on the floor. Once that happens, an options menu will open for the menu. The price of the item will be highlighted in green.

If the player wishes to purchase the item, then they must register "Get". By either stepping off the mat or talking to the Kecleon, it will then confirm the purchase and the player will have the option to pay or not. The player will then register "Yes" if they wish to purchase the item, and if they have enough money, the item will be purchased.

If the player is on the mat and registers "No", then the Kecleon will state that it's very disappointing and ask to place the items onto the mat. If the player is outside the mat and presses "No" then the Thief sequence will play out.

Selling

In order to sell an item, the player must walk onto an empty tile on the mat, open their inventory, select the item they want to place, and register "Place". Similar to before, by either walking off the map or talking to the Kecleon, it will confirm the price it has to pay for the items and the player has the option to accept the pay or not. The player will then register "Yes" and the Kecleon will pay the amount needed.

If the option "No" is registered, Kecleon will not do anything about it. However, the item will not be registered as a selling item either and the player is free to reclaim the item whenever it desires just by stepping onto the tile where their placed item is located.

When stepping onto the mat again after selling the item, it will now function like any of the other items on the mat, with its price highlighted in green.

Theft

In dungeons, when a player steals an item from Kecleon shops, it'll count as theft. This occurs by stepping off the mat after collecting items on it and refusing to pay. Triggering the theft scenario will have the following conditions occur:

  • Background music changes immediately to "Stop! Thief!"
  • Escape Orbs becomes useless.
  • If there are rescues to do on the floor, the rescue will fail.
  • The items that were not sold become normal items and can be picked up without payment.
  • Placing items on the shop will not be counted as selling the item.
  • Placing items back onto the shop won't count as forgiveness.
  • The Kecleon will turn hostile at the player's team will begin to attack them. More Kecleon will rapidly begin to appear to aid the original. They have high stats, at level 90, and are always at double speed.
  • The effects will end when the player reaches the next floor.

Despite theft being one of the toughest things to experience in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon titles, it's, funnily enough, the only way to directly recruit a Kecleon into the party.

Trivia

  • Thieving is the only way to recruit a Kecleon into the party. However, the player must be level 90 - 100 and holding a Friend Bow in order to make them recruitable (at a mere 0.01%)
  • It is hinted in the game that the Kecleon selling items within the dungeon is the same Kecleon running the shop in Pokémon Square. This, however, is only alluded to once and through a PKMN News article.
