POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON FRIEND AREAS GUIDE

Friend Areas are places where Pokemon from your Rescue Team stay when they are not on missions. Upon recruiting a Pokemon from the wild and successfully exiting the dungeon, whether by clearing all floors of the dungeon or using an Escape Orb, the Pokemon will automatically be found in its Friend Area the following day. Note that most Pokemon, save for special Pokemon like Legendaries, require you to have their Friend Area before they can be recruited.

You can access your Friend Areas by going left from your Rescue Team Base. A menu will allow you to select which Pokemon to visit. Selecting a Pokemon will automatically bring you to its Friend Area.

Talk to any Pokemon in a Friend Area and you will be able to access a menu which allows you to do many tasks. You can, get the Pokemon to join the team, stand by, or make it the leader of the team. You can also give/take items to/from it. You can say farewell, which will cause the Pokemon to leave your team forever. Lastly, you can check its summary page, moves, and IQ.

For a list of all the Friend Areas, as well as which Pokemon can be found in which area, see the Friend Areas Listing.
