Post-Game Dungeons and Legendary Pokémon

Discover how to access and conquer post-game dungeons and recruit Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. Your ultimate guide to the endgame!

The post-game of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team offers challenging new dungeons and the opportunity to recruit powerful Legendary Pokémon. This guide will walk you through how to access these areas and what to expect.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Accessing Post-Game Dungeons: After completing the main story and the post-game story involving Groudon, new dungeons will become available. These are typically accessed through the main dungeon selection menu or via special story events that unlock after the credits roll.
  2. 2
    Legendary Pokémon Encounters: Many Legendary Pokémon can be found in these new, more difficult dungeons. Some may appear as boss battles, while others can be encountered randomly on specific floors. Recruiting them often requires defeating them in battle and meeting certain conditions, such as having a specific Friend Area available or reaching a high Rescue Team rank.
  3. 3
    Key Legendary Pokémon and Locations (Examples):
    • Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres: Often found in dungeons unlocked after the main story, requiring high-level teams to defeat.
  4. 4
    Mewtwo: Typically located in a very late-game or post-game dungeon, presenting a significant challenge.
  5. 5
    Rayquaza: May appear in a special dungeon unlocked through specific post-game events.
  6. 6
    Preparation is Key: These dungeons are significantly harder than those in the main story. Ensure your team is at a high level, has strong move sets, and is equipped with beneficial items like Reviver Seeds, Escape Orbs, and status-healing items. Consider bringing Pokémon with high-level moves or abilities that can exploit type weaknesses.
Tips
  • Focus on increasing your Rescue Team rank to unlock higher-tier jobs and potentially better rewards, which can aid in your post-game endeavors.
  • Stock up on plenty of healing items and status-healing items, as these dungeons can be lengthy and punishing.
  • Recruiting Legendary Pokémon often requires specific conditions to be met. Check reliable sources for the exact requirements for each Legendary you wish to recruit.
  • Consider the Friend Area compatibility when aiming to recruit Pokémon. Some Legendary Pokémon will only join your team if you have the corresponding Friend Area.
