POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON TACTICS GUIDE
In addition to IQ Skills, you can also make use of Tactics to control how your partner Pokemon behave in dungeons. Unlike IQ Skills, however, the Tactics which are usuable by your partner Pokemon is dependent not on the partner Pokemon, but on the level of the leader. Another difference would be that you can utilise multiple IQ Skills simultaneously, whereas for Tactics, only one can be activated at any point in time.
To view your list of usable tactics, bring up the menu by pressing B in a dungeon. Go to "Team", and select a partner Pokemon. Select "Tactics" to view the list of usable Tactics. The Tactic with a star beside it is the Tactic currently in use.
