All Pokémon have a standard attack which deals typeless damage. This regular attack does not expend PP when used. Pokémon may also have up to four special attacks in addition to their regular attack. Prior to Pokemon Mystery dungeon Gates to Infinity, the standard attack was much more powerful and dealt damage according to the usual rules using Attack and Defense Stats. However in Gates to Infinity and later games the move deals 5 HP damage regardless of stats.

Special attacks may be [[linked move|linked]] together, wherein the linked moves are done in succession (in which case one PP is taken from each move). Moves can be linked at the {{DL|Pokémon Square|Gulpin Link Shop}} in Blue and Red Rescue Team and at the {{DL|Treasure Town|Electivire Link Shop}} in Explorers of Time and Darkness. Moves could no longer be linked in subsequent Mystery Dungeon games. Instead, Gates to Infinity introduced Team Attacks, large-scale attacks used by every member of the team in a dungeon, while Super Mystery Dungeon introduced [[Alliance]]s, a a simultaneous attack by all party members on a single target.
