Gameplay

Generation III

Spawned items have a 5% chance to be sticky. Rare TMs and Wonder Orbs can be found inside the walls on floors 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, and 15. Additionally, all floors are shrouded in heavy darkness, limiting field of view in hallways to just one tile.

Generation VIII

In the remakes, the final floor contains a Deluxe Box and 5 TMs: Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Snarl, Dark Pulse, and Brutal Swing.
