List of Pokémon by IQ group
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, as well as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare), there are ten different IQ groups that depend on a Pokémon's species. Depending on a Pokémon's IQ group, different IQ skills become available to the Pokémon.
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, this system was replaced by Team Skills, while in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, rare qualities fill similar purpose.

Trivia
- IQ Group H is the smallest, excluding the Legendary-exclusive IQ Groups.
- Vulpix is the only Fire-type hero candidate not in IQ Group C. This is likely due to it being a later addition in Sky.
- Chikorita is the only hero candidate to not share an IQ Group with any other candidate.
- Group C is the only group to contain a Pokémon of every type (other than the Fairy-type, which did not exist in Generation IV).
- However, Mawile, a Pokémon in the group, would later gain this type.
- Primal Dialga uses the same IQ Group I as Dialga's regular form. It is set at 600 IQ during its boss fight in the main story, giving it access to skills such as Intimidator and Quick Dodger.
- While Arceus is not available as a recruit or even coded into Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, it does appear in the WiiWare games and shares an IQ Group with Dialga and Darkrai.
