Some dungeons, such as [[Beach Cave]] and the [[Hidden Land]], can be visited more directly. Some dungeons are also visited without the crossroads as part of the storyline. Visiting dungeons is required to advance the storyline, as new areas must be accessed through them. | ||

Each time a player visits a dungeon, its floor layout and the items inside it are randomized. Dungeons consist of multiple floors and waypoints, which can be traversed between by using stairs. [[Tiny Woods]] has the fewest floors with 3 (discounting the Explorer Maze of the [[Marowak Dojo]] which has one). The dungeons with the most floors have 99; they are [[Joyous Tower]], [[Buried Relic]], [[Purity Forest]], [[Wish Cave]], [[Silver Trench]], [[Western Cave]], [[Zero Isle South]], [[Zero Isle Center]], and [[Destiny Tower]]. | Each time a player visits a dungeon, its floor layout and the items inside it are randomized.

Wild Pokémon's levels increase as the player progresses through the dungeon's floors. Dungeons can also contain sleeping Pokémon, which do not move until attacked or a member of the player's party<!--not team because this includes clients--> steps on a directly adjacent tile. Some Pokémon can only be found on specific floors, making it key to know which floors these Pokémon are on if one wants to recruit them. | ||

Treasure Memo floors contain one Deluxe Box which will contain one of several rare items. There are 30 different possible layouts for Treasure Memo floors. To reach the Deluxe Box, the player must either cross or remove water, move through or destroy walls, use a [[Key]], or any combination of the above depending on which layout the floor uses. | A Treasure Memo floor replaces a specific floor in a dungeon when a taking Treasure Memo job, which can only be found in bottles found on the {{OBP|Beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}}.

Rooms are rectangular-shaped areas that players may traverse through. They may contain Pokémon, items, [[Poké]], stairs, [[Kecleon Shop]]s, or all of the above. [[Dungeon tile|Other tiles]] may also be present within a room. [[Monster | Rooms are rectangular-shaped areas that players may traverse through.

[[Monster house]]s and {{DL|Dungeon tile|traps}} appear randomly in rooms of dungeons that are unlocked later in the game. When a player arrives at a floor, they always appear in a room. | ||
When inside, the room the player is in will be completely illuminated. All actions in the room can be seen from any point. The hallways leading out of the room can also be seen, and the first tile of each hallway leading from the room is illuminated by the room. When a room is entered, everything in it is recorded on the floor map. | |||

===Hallways=== | ===Hallways=== | ||
Hallways are long and narrow areas that connect rooms to each other. They are typically one tile wide, which prevents Pokémon from passing one another without destructing the walls and creating more space or being able to pass through walls. Since the space in hallways is very narrow, items will not spawn in hallways, but can be placed there. Traps also will not appear in hallways, and traps cannot be created here by moves like {{m|Spikes}}. | Hallways are long and narrow areas that connect rooms to each other.

If a teammate is battling a wild Pokémon, only the teammate will appear on-screen until the wild Pokémon is in the circle. Hallways are recorded on the floor map only as the player traverses it. | ||
===Waypoints=== | ===Waypoints=== | ||
Waypoints are one-room, mezzanine-like floors that connect one part of a dungeon to a deeper part. Waypoints in a dungeon usually indicate that a boss will be present at the end; however, that is not always the case. Waypoints often connect dungeons to a "deeper" or "peak" of the dungeon. A waypoint usually contains a [[Kangaskhan Rock]] (only [[Aegis Cave]]'s waypoint lacks one), most of which have only the saving function available; however, some waypoints such as the [[Crystal Cave]]/[[Crystal Crossing]] waypoint allow item storage as well. Waypoints also have the option of returning to [[Treasure Town]] or [[Pokémon Square]], or to the entrance of the dungeon in [[Special Episode]]s, or when the player is a fugitive, on the guild expedition, or in the future. | Waypoints are one-room, mezzanine-like floors that connect one part of a dungeon to a deeper part.

===Fainting=== | ===Fainting=== | ||
Explorers or rescue teams sometimes [[Fainting|faint]] in dungeons. If the leader, original partner (before beating the game,) or any client Pokémon faints and is not revived, the entire team is transported out of the dungeon. All of the team's Poké is lost, along with anywhere between half and all of the team's items (exactly which ones are randomly decided). The team is also kicked out and treated as fainted if they stay too long by taking too many steps on any one floor, getting three "warnings" beforehand. | Explorers or rescue teams sometimes [[Fainting|faint]] in dungeons.
