Recruitment: Difference between revisions

'''Recruitment''' is [[Mystery Dungeon game mechanics|the main method]] of obtaining new [[Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]. After defeating an enemy in a dungeon, it will occasionally offer to join the {{player}}'s team.

There is a limit of 413 Pokémon at one time in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Teams]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the limit is 552 instead, and in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], it is 288.

* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Team]], offers will only be made if there is space in the current party. In the Explorers series, this requirement was removed, instead excess members simply warp out of the dungeon. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], players can choose if they want to send home the recruited Pokémon or not.

* Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Omastar}} in [[Brine Cave]], are unrecruitable. In addition, many boss [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be recruited on the first visit. In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, all but nine fully-evolved Pokémon cannot be recruited and have to be acquired via evolving.

===Recruitment-affecting items===

{{Item

|descmdtds=A legendary mask, rumored to be from a long-lost civilization. It has a beautiful glow that stirs up the emotions of all who see it. When held by the team leader, it is easier to recruit defeated Pokémon to the team.

|locmdtds=[[Zero Isle North]]

|descmdgti=

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Teams]], the only such item to increase recruitment is the Friend Bow.  When held by the leading Pokémon, it raises the recruitment rate by 10%. The bow is located behind a door needing a [[key]] to open on floor 30 of [[Mt. Faraway]]. Further Friend Bows can be purchased from [[Kecleon Shop|Kecleon shops]] in [[Joyous Tower]]. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]], the Friend Bow's effectiveness is reduced to 5%, but is supplemented with a number of other items. It can still be bought from Kecleon Shops in [[Zero Isle North]], and in Explorers of Sky, the Friend Bow is able to be won as a prize item from the Recycle Shop in [[Spinda's Café]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] Pokémon defeated with {{m|False Swipe}} have their recruitment rate increased by about 8%.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the guardians of the [[Seven Treasures]] as well as [[legendary titans]] have a flat 50% recruitment rate that cannot be affected in any way.
