Sinister Woods (Japanese: あやしいもり, Dubious Forest) is a dungeon in / Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team. It is unlocked by completing five Jobs after finishing Mt. Steel.

Plot

After clearing Mt. Steel and at least five rescue missions, Caterpie will come up to the player and request help for his friend Metapod, who had become lost in Sinister Woods. Team Meanies then overhears this and offers to rescue Metapod themselves, asking to be paid handsomely as a result. Due to Caterpie's hesitation, Team Meanies then challenges the Hero and their Partner to a race to see who gets to Metapod first.

When the player reaches floor 13, where Metapod is located, Team Meanies shoves ahead and a battle ensues. After defeating Team Meanies, Metapod then asks if the player had come to rescue them, and upon realizing that they were asked to be escorted back to the front of the Rescue Team Base. Caterpie then thanks to the player and their partner, but constantly reminisces over not having any Poké, to which the partner reassures him that they do not need money as a reward for the mission.

Dungeon information

The dungeon contains thirteen floors, with Team Meanies residing on floor 13 during the first playthrough of the dungeon.

Part of this page's history has been imported from the PMD Rescue Team Wiki. On September 11, 2019, the Gamepedia Shiren the Wanderer Wiki became the Gamepedia Mystery Dungeon Wiki. As part of the unification project between Fandom and Gamepedia, we absorbed the Rescue Team Wiki and its page histories. Some pages were originally deemed unworthy of being imported and were left behind. We've since imported them with the intent to preserve the edits and history of this community and its contributions, as well as to build upon them. In some cases, these pages have been created again by editors of the MDFW, and the Rescue Team page histories were imported into them at a later date.
