The area.

The Pokémon encountered in Makuhita Dojo cannot be recruited in any of the mazes. Boss Pokémon in the Team mazes may be recruited, however. The boss Pokémon may only be recruited if the player is level 90 or higher and wearing a Friend Bow, with the exception of Nuzleaf in the Team Shifty maze and Graveler in the Team Rumblerock maze, which can be recruited if the player is either level 90 or higher or level 50 or higher with a Friend Bow. There is no chance of finding Monster Houses, Kecleon Shops, or items in this dungeon. Pickup still works, however.

Trivia

• Octillery's usage of the word "darling" may be a play on at least one of the Gabor sisters.
• The fully-evolved recruitable boss Pokémon in the team mazes represent eight of the nine exceptions to a game mechanic that prevents players from recruiting fully-evolved Pokémon in dungeons. The lone other exception is Porygon2.
• All of the training dungeons share the same theme song with Rock Path, Snow Path, and Joyous Tower.
