In the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} prior to {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, each species of Pokémon is assigned a fixed [[body size]] from 0 to 4. When taking a team into a dungeon, the combined body size of the Pokémon in the team may not exceed a certain amount (at most of any dungeon, 6). Note that certain dungeons may restrict this further, and may also restrict the sheer number of Pokémon allowed in the dungeon.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, the body size system was revised: each Pokémon species is either of standard size (occupying 1 tile), or is a [[gigantic Pokémon]] (occupying 4 tiles). Gigantic Pokémon have the additional trait of longer reach with their attacks, and some moves will have completely-different effects when used by a gigantic Pokémon.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, gigantic Pokémon became recruitable, with the same traits as they had in Gates to Infinity. However, only up to one Gigantic Pokémon may be included in a team when entering a dungeon.
