Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon Looplets, Emeras and Awakening
Use temporary dungeon bonuses without confusing them with permanent equipment.
Edition covered
Original Nintendo 3DS release (2015 Japan/North America, 2016 Europe). Covers the offline adventure; discontinued Internet services are not required for these guides.
Equip a Looplet before searching
A Looplet supplies slots for Emeras and may also have an effect of its own. Compare the number of available slots before assigning the most flexible piece to the Pokémon doing the hardest work.
| Object | Persists after leaving? | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Looplet | Yes | Wearable base equipment |
| Looplet slots | Part of the equipment | Hold temporary bonuses |
| Emera | No | Dungeon-only enhancement |
| Emera dust | Dungeon resource | Collect enough for a new Emera |
Reach an Emera before it breaks
An Emera on the floor has a countdown once its room is entered. Take a direct safe route to stabilize it. Dust can form another Emera, but it does not guarantee the effect you just missed.
Choose the holder deliberately
Effects that depend on the leader belong on the active leader. Other bonuses fit a front-line attacker or vulnerable support Pokémon. Read the effect before filling the last free slot.
| Emera | Effect to plan around | Good recipient |
|---|---|---|
| Awakening | Awakening or Mega Evolution | A planned offensive lead |
| Clairvoyance | Reveals item locations when leading | Current leader |
| Bonus Up | Improves chances of added move effects | User of useful secondary effects |
| Companion Revival | Revives teammates when its holder leads | Leader protecting a fragile team |
Use Awakening with room to maneuver
The Awakening Emera powers up its holder; eligible species Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution can become a rampage, so keep allies and the room layout in mind instead of treating it as a risk-free permanent transformation.
