Dungeon tile
A dungeon tile is a game element exclusive to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Dungeon floors are made of various dungeon tiles.
Types of tiles
Stairs
Stairs are the common way to proceed to the next floor of a dungeon. In Meteor Cave, the stairs will be disabled until the floor's Deoxys clone is defeated.
Warp Point
Certain dungeons will use Warp Points instead of stairs to progress to the next floor. In Red and Blue Rescue Team and Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, they have the same appearance as Warp Traps.
Wall
Walls define the rooms and corridors of dungeons and are normally impassable. Ghost Pokémon, Pokémon holding a Mobile Scarf, Pokémon that have used a Mobile Orb and Pokémon with the IQ skills Super Mobile or Absolute Mover can pass travel over through walls. In the Rescue Team and Explorers games, traveling through a wall costs the player 5 points of Belly. In Gates to Infinity, the player loses HP instead. Walls can be turned into regular floor tiles by using Rock Smash.
Water
A water tile can only be traveled on by Water Pokémon, Pokémon that are flying or floating, and Pokémon with the IQ skills All-Terrain Mover, Super Mobile, or Absolute Mover. Dive can be used on these tiles but Dig cannot. Pokémon that cannot travel on water tiles but are forced onto them from the effect of a move or item or by switching place with the leader will be warped to a random regular floor tile.
Lava
Lava tiles can only be traveled on by Fire Pokémon, Pokémon that are flying or floating, and Pokémon with the IQ skills All-Terrain Hiker, Super Mobile, or Absolute Mover. Non-Fire types will be inflicted with a burn. Dig cannot be used on these tiles.
Air
Air tiles can only be traveled on by Pokémon that are flying or floating and Pokémon with the IQ skills All-Terrain Hiker, Super Mobile, or Absolute Mover. Dig and Dive cannot be used on these tiles.
Wonder Tile
Wonder Tiles cause any stat changes of the Pokémon stepping on them to be reverted. Floors with Wonder Tiles will have a certain number spawned.
Carpet
Carpet denotes the area of a Kecleon Shop. Any item found on carpet belongs to the Shop and leaving without paying for it will cause several Kecleon to appear and attack the party. Dropping an item on carpet and leaving will make the item belong to the Shop.
Traps
Traps are tiles that cause negative effects to the player and their party. Before being stepped on, they are disguised as regular floor tiles. Traps will not trigger if stepped on by enemies unless the trap was created by the party via a Trapper Orb or a move such as Spikes. Starting in Gates to Infinity, traps break after being triggered.
