As a Pokémon's IQ increases, they learn a number of skills to help traveling in dungeons. IQ also substitutes for [[friendship]] in the main series; Pokémon that normally evolve by friendship instead require a certain amount of IQ to evolve.

While this game mechanic is named after the {{wp|intelligence quotient}}, these two metrics are unrelated. When speaking to {{p|Alakazam}} or {{p|Noctowl}} in dungeons, they will mention their high IQ, regardless of how many IQ points they actually have.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], the mechanic was replaced by [[Team Skill]]s. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], most of the IQ skills can be found on [[Looplet]]s and [[Emera]]s.

In Red and Blue Rescue Teams, a Pokémon's IQ skills can be checked in the menu under each individual team member at any time in dungeons or Friend Areas. While there are a total of 23 skills, it is only possible to have twelve active at a time. While the five skills without a group can be active simultaneously, there can only be one active skill from groups 1-7 at any time.
