POKEMON MYSTERY DUNGEON TRAPS

In later dungeons, which includes most of the dungeons which are unlocked after the main storyline, gameplay is made more difficult by the introduction of traps in the dungeons. Traps are basically modified Wonder Tiles, but instead they all have negative effects ranging from stat reduction to spoiling food items.

Types of Traps

There are a total of 18 types of traps, all of which are found naturally in dungeons. The only exception is the Spikes Trap, which is created when a Pokemon uses the move Spikes. This will create a Spikes Trap on the spot the Pokemon is on.

Here is a list of all the traps (in alphabetical order) and their effects:

	Confuse	Causes Confusion on the Pokemon who steps on the trap
	Explosion	Causes an explosion on all tiles in the 2-tile range, halving the HP of all Pokemon and destroying all walls and items
	Gust	Causes Pokemon to fly off in different directions. Pokemon receive damage when they hit the wall, unless the Pokemon is holding a Mobile Scarf or is a Ghost Pokemon who can pass through walls
