To speed up the discovery of the Kecleon store, we recommend starting the dungeon with the X Lenses, which give a general idea of ​​the plan by showing enemies and tools. Once the Kecleon shop is located, it will be time to change the Lenses for a Friendly Ribbon, look for the exit and use whatever tools we may need for the upcoming battle. The fundamentals are as follows:


  • Dodge All Orb (increases the evasion of all Pokémon on the team).
  • Force All Sphere (increases Attack and Special Attack of all Pokémon on the team).
  • Revitalsphere (resurrects fallen Pokémon).
  • Evadisphere (to escape after recruiting Kecleon).

Once the battle has begun, the goal will be to get closer to the exit by taking down as many Kecleons as possible. The game's RNG will do the rest, and eventually a Kecleon will join the rescue team. Once Kecleon agrees to join the team, just use an Evadisphere to make sure the Pokémon doesn't go KO on subsequent floors.
