Development Oversights entails spelling errors, translation errors, bugs, glitches, and other aspects of unintended gameplay. This page covers Nintendo Switch Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX.

Crashes and Softlocks

  • A soft lock happens when the team faints in a dungeon and their rescue request expires.[1][2][3]
  • Switching leaders too often with the + button might cause the game to crash, with an error message appearing on the screen and closing the game. Since the game autosaves after every movement/action in the dungeon, the player does not lose their progress. This can likely happen in Buried Relic if they search buried items inside the walls and constantly swap their leader to their teammate, who can go through the walls to pick items.[4]
  • If player talks to Wigglytuff or Gulpin in Pokémon Square, the game has a small chance to crash.[4]

Double Action Glitch

The double action glitch allows the player to perform two actions on the same turn by using the turn of another party member. It is performed by inputting movement and switching the leader on the same frame.[5]

Minor Bugs

  • About a dozen instances of people's playtime glitching out and appearing as 999:59. This has several apparent causes.
    • Sometimes it happens on save files with their data transferred over from the demo.[1][6]
    • It also appears to be caused by downloading backup data from the cloud, changing the clock, or downloading the 1.0.1 update and above for Rescue Team DX.[7]
  • Two cases of a Swampert loading without their textures and appearing as rainbow static instead.[1]
  • Feraligatr's walking animation froze and starts stuttering.[1]
  • A case where the player can clip through the wall and ends up behind Makuhita in the Makuhita Dojo.[1]
  • The Mt. Steel's Skarmory cutscene loads with Eevee facing backwards.[1]
  • The B button occasionally does not open the toolbox, as well as other input lag.[1][4][8]
  • In the cutscene where the partner shows the player around Pokémon Square, the screen stutters, particularly when running past the Kecleon Shop and Lombre, and from between the Gulpin Link Shop and Kangaskhan Storage.[1]
  • At the cutscene where Team A.C.T. is introduced, sometimes either Charizard or Tyranitar are facing the wrong way.[4][9]
  • If you delete any rescue jobs that you have accepted, from mailbox/bulletin board before completing them, fainted Pokémon which you can give an Apple may no longer be able to spawn in the dungeons. If you are unsure of your own skills, make sure you only pick rescue jobs from dungeons that you can actually clear.[4][10]
  • In the demo, the screen darkens if the player quickly quits the Kecleon Shop menu instead of brighten the screen back after you leave.[11]

Graphical Oversights

  • In the Bulletin Board menu, the portraits for some Pokémon (Pikachu, Chikorita) have an off-looking row of pixels at the bottom.[12]

Fixed Bugs

  • A softlock happened when their Hero and Partner fainted and they sent their third Pokémon back to their camp. This glitch has been fixed in the 1.0.2 update.[1][13][14]
