Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity Team Skills, Move Growth and Team Attacks
Understand the progression systems that help more than one Pokémon.
Edition covered
Original Nintendo 3DS adventure (2012 Japan, 2013 western release). Base-game systems; optional purchased DLC is identified separately.
Train moves by using them
Eligible moves improve with repeated use. Their growth is shared with teammates that know the same move, making a frequently used attack useful beyond the current leader. Check accuracy and PP as well as raw power.
| System | Improves | How to work on it |
|---|---|---|
| Pokémon level | The individual Pokémon | Earn experience |
| Move growth | A named move across the team | Use eligible moves repeatedly |
| Team Skills | Team-wide behavior or bonuses | Obtain skills through treasure |
| Paradise facilities | Supplies and training support | Build and upgrade facilities |
Open treasure to find Team Skills
Gates replaces the older individual IQ approach with Team Skills found through treasure rewards. These affect the team, so collecting them can improve behavior and reliability without changing the starter pair.
Save the team attack for a crowded room
The charged team attack can strike a room full of enemies and provide an additional benefit. Triggering it against a lone weak target wastes the chance to recover control of a dangerous room.
| Threat | Useful response | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Room full of enemies | Charged team attack | Affects the room |
| Main move low on PP | Elixir or another attack | Preserves expedition endurance |
| Partner uses poor attacks | Review enabled moves | Improves its available choices |
| Healing stops on a floor | Check dungeon aura | Adapt to the current floor rule |
Read unusual floor conditions after the story
Post-story dungeon conditions can change healing, PP use and other rules. If an expedition suddenly behaves differently, inspect the active condition before assuming an item or move stopped working.
