Makuhita Dojo

Revision as of 04:39, 8 December 2009 by CuboneKing (talk | contribs) (→‎Trivia: There's also a similar situation with PMD2.)

Makuhita Dojo is a training facility in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. It is located in the outskirts of Pokémon Square. There are 21 preset mazes in the dojo, each only three floors deep. The player has to play through the main storyline in order to unlock all 21 mazes.

Wild Pokémon cannot be recruited in any of the mazes. Boss Pokémon in the Team mazes may be recruited, however. The boss Pokémon may only be recruitable if the player is level 90+ and wearing a Friend Bow, with the exception of the Nuzleaf in the Team Shifty maze and the Graveler in the Team Rumblerock maze, which can be recruited if the player is either level 90 or level 50 with a Friend Bow. There is no chance of finding a monster house, a shop, or an item of any sort in this dungeon.

Trivia

  • Octillery on Team Constrictor is one of only two characters verbally confirmed as female in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, the other being Medicham on Team Meanies. This doesn't count the player, who can choose to be either male or female, and also doesn't count the player's partner, who's confirmed female if it's Chikorita.
  • Octillery's usage of the word "darling" may be a play on at least one of the Gabor sisters.

Team Hydro

Trivia

  • 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.
