The Connection Orb (Japanese: つながりオーブ Connection Orb) is an item that displays the links between Pokémon in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon. The Connection Orb displays all connected Pokémon and met Pokémon. It also displays any expedition requests Pokémon have posted in the Post List. The Connection Orb is fitted in the Expedition Gadget. When the player does a job for a Pokémon, the connections of that Pokémon become visible, as well as any Pokémon featured in the mission and any Pokémon the client introduces to the player.

Artwork of the Connection Orb

A Connection Orb is dropped by Ampharos of the Expedition Society and returned to him when he is rescued from Poliwrath River. He then gives it to the player during Chapter 6.

Traveling Pokémon

During an expedition when on a certain floor of a dungeon, players can encounter traveling Pokémon. If there is a traveling Pokémon on the floor, the game will say "There is a Traveling Pokémon on this floor!" If the player has completed all expeditions or doesn't have any expeditions, every time the player goes to the stairs, it will say "There are no expeditions, but there might be something ahead." Which will always indicate a Traveling Pokémon or some other special encounter. If the player is on the floor with the traveling Pokémon and goes to the stairs, it will say that the task hasn't been completed but asks if the player wants to move on anyway.

The Traveling Pokémon will be indicated with a small blue upside-down 2D triangle that appears in a 3D shape above its head and will be moving around on the floor. The Traveling Pokémon will always take two turns before taking a step in any direction, making it easy to catch up to it and talk to it. Speaking to the Traveling Pokémon will restore the team's HP, PP and Belly, and will make the team and the Traveling Pokémon connected and the Traveling Pokémon will leave the dungeon happily.

Fainted Pokémon

During an expedition when on a certain floor of a dungeon, players can encounter fainted Pokémon. If there is a fainted Pokémon on the floor, the game will say "There is a fainted Pokémon on this floor! Help the Pokémon out by giving it a food item!" If the player has completed all expeditions or doesn't have any expeditions, every time the player goes to the stairs, it will say "There are no expeditions, but there might be something ahead." Which will always indicate a fainted Pokémon or some other special encounter. If the player is on the floor with the fainted Pokémon and goes to the stairs, it will say that the task hasn't been completed but asks if the player wants to move on anyway.

When on the floor with the fainted Pokémon, the floor will always have an Apple (or Big Apple in certain dungeons). The fainted Pokémon will appear in a random room on the floor. If the player gives the fainted Pokémon an Apple, Big Apple or Perfect Apple, it will thank the team and then the team and that Pokémon will be connected. It will then leave the dungeon afterwards.

Fleeing Pokémon

In dungeons which contain Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, there is a chance that the player may encounter a fleeing Pokémon. On the floor where the fleeing Pokémon appears, it will appear in the same room as the team spawns upon entering the floor. As soon as it occurs, it will come up with the word "ATTENTION!" on the screen. These Pokémon will always have a higher movement speed than the team. Using Wonder Orbs or Wands can help the team stop the Pokémon from moving. If the fleeing Pokémon manages to get to the stairs, it will disappear and the team will have to get through the dungeon or use an Escape Orb before retrying the dungeon again to encounter that fleeing Pokémon again.

If the team is successful in defeating a fleeing Pokémon, that Pokémon will congratulate the team and the team will become connected to that Pokémon. Afterwards, that Pokémon will leave the dungeon.
