Mechanics

Red and Blue Rescue Team

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team, Makuhita Dojo has 21 preset mazes, each only three floors deep. The first floor of all the mazes has no special features, while the second floor has limited visibility and water tiles (except Fire Maze which has lava, Rock and Steel Maze which have no special floor tiles). A boss Pokémon is present on the third floor. The mazes are unlocked as the player progresses through the main storyline.

The Pokémon encountered in Makuhita Dojo cannot be recruited in any of the mazes. Boss Pokémon in the Team mazes may be recruited, however. The boss Pokémon may only be recruited if the player is level 90 or higher and wearing a Friend Bow, with the exception of Nuzleaf in the Team Shifty maze and Graveler in the Team Rumblerock maze, which can be recruited if the player is either level 90 or higher or level 50 or higher with a Friend Bow. There is no chance of finding Monster Houses, Kecleon Shops, or items in this dungeon. Pickup still works, however. Clearing a maze refreshes the items available in the Kecleon Shop and the jobs available on the bulletin board.

Upon clearing each of the type-based mazes at least once, the player will receive a Bonsly statue to place outside their rescue Team Base and a Ginseng. The player will also receive a Ginseng the first time they clear each of the Rescue Team-based mazes.

Rescue Team DX

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, Makuhita Dojo is now a time-based feature where one Pokémon attempts to defeat as many opposing Pokémon within a one-floor maze to earn Experience Points and Move Experience. The player requires a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Dojo Ticket to train at the Dojo, and the tickets give 50, 55, or 60 seconds respectively at the Dojo. The timer will continue to run during animations or when the menu is opened. Within the maze, walking turns are faster than they usually are. No items can be found within the mazes, and no Pokémon can be recruited. Monster Houses can occur.

Once the time has passed, the Experience Points accumulated goes into the trained Pokémon. Depending on the type of Dojo Ticket used, Experience and Move Experience earned are multiplied by three (Bronze), five (Silver), or seven (Gold). The Experience gained is substantially increased if an enemy is defeated by a super-effective move.

Mazes contain Pokémon who are weak to the namesake maze, except for the Normal Maze, as no type is weak to Normal. For example, the Fire Maze may contain Pokémon of the Bug-type, the Grass-type, the Ice-type, or the Steel-type. The maze that the player enters depends on the type the Pokémon selected to train, e.g. if a Baltoy is chosen to train, that Pokémon can only enter either the Ground or Psychic mazes, whilst Blastoise can only enter the Water Maze. If the Pokémon faints, it will be revived with its stats reset to normal. There is no limit to how many times the Pokémon can be revived. Using moves does not consume any PP, allowing moves to be used infinitely in mazes.
