Mystery Dungeon Glitch Discussion

[GolemGuy]

Could someone test this for me?

1. In PMD1, go to Buried Relic with twenty Trap-Set orbs in your Toolbag.
2. KO a Regi.
3. Use your orbs until there's a Pokemon Trap.
4. Drop an item.
5. Walk onto the trap.
6. Get another Regi?????

I was doing a mission to get a stolen item and the outlaw wasn't there on the floor. It wasn't an escape mission, it was a "OH BOY! An exploration team happens to be here! Time for my butt to get kicked while I just stand here and fight hopelessly!" type of thing. I searched the entire floor, after barricading the stairs (it didn't say the outlaw escaped) and it wasn't there. Any ideas?

The outlaw was one of the pokemon roaming around the floor. You wouldn't be able to know that it was the outlaw until you fought it and it took longer than usual to faint and did more damage. He just happened to not be in the same place you were. Or maybe a ghost type. Or maybe you saw him, and he was just natural to the floor, so you ignored him.

The other day, I was in Waterfall Cave when two Grimer came up. One was purple and the other yellow. Then, they started to flicker back and forth between an image of a Surskit....wow. First ever glitch in any Pokemon game I've encountered.

Not as much as a glitch, as a really annoying letdown. You take a mission that goes up like 70 floors on some really hard dungeon. Then your client is a ghost type. Since they just go around randomly, I always found it hard to corner anyone I had to talk to. But this is a ghost type, so they just disappear into a wall, leaving me screaming at my game

[swampertlover5712]

okay, this aint a glitch, but it POed my to no end.
had a snorunt client, right? yeah well some darn Pokemon, I forget who, threw a damn hunger seed at it and it couldnt move. plus, I just HAPPENED to walk into a monster house.
yeah, i was like "you stupid #$5@#$!!!" then i threw my game. it wouldn't of mattered, 'cept, y'know i was like on a the mission floor and like it was on floor 55.
dammit, dammit,dammit!!!
sorry know it's not a glitch.

[omega123]

Hehe! I found a shiny sentret! is that a glitch?

[jirachis_best_friend]

I had this random glitch which I actually didn't notice until I went to modify my Pokemon's moves.
A Togetic I recuited at the beginning of the game (Via Wi-Fi Wonder Mail S, it was my client, and then I got another Togetic mission with the ??? reward and it joined me)
suddenly had the move 'Nothing' instead of Ancient Power and the PP was 99 and the description was $$$. I never got the move to be used... so I don't know if it actually would make me Poke$$$. Lol too bad x3 But yeah. Any idea why?
(And does the Canadian version just count as the US version or is it 'North American' version? Just cuz I read alot about that name glitch and it worries me x: )

I can't evolve certain Pokemon. Well, I'm not exactly sure about the details; I don't know if it applies to the whole species or if it will ever go away, but... Whenever I try evolving my Bagon the game freezes. I've evolved a Ralts (twice) and a Shuppet without problems. A friend of mine also mentioned having a problem like this, which... makes me think that if this is common the people who were supposed to be checking for bugs weren't doing their jobs very well.

Also, I don't know whether or not this is a glitch; I could just be missing something important. Reviser Seeds. Not Reviver Seeds. Reviser Seeds. According to the Info on them, they only revive a fainted Pokemon with the Item Master IQ Skill. My Shinx has the Item Master IQ Skill. Reviser Seeds do not revive him. Which is kind of obnoxious considering the whole "YOU WERE REVIVED! ... PSSSSHHHH LOL JUST KIDDING THAT WAS A REVISER SEED YANNO WITH AN S NOT A V."

... Oh, and sometimes my team-mates and I are just unable to attack. For no reason, inexplicably. No special moves or orbs or seeds or whatever are used to activate it; my team members just stop attacking and whenever I use a move against anything on the floor the attack fails. If I progress to the next floor, however, this goes away and everything's fine.

Once, in Happy Outlook in PMD2, there were an Exeggutor and a Sunflora in the same room. The only problem? The Exeggutor was switching between a Sunflora with an Exeggutor's palette (Colors on a sprite, for people who don't know), and a sleeping Exeggutor sprite. The same with Sunflora. But in reverse. And with Sunflora's palette.

In PMD 1 this happened to me:
My Pikachu knew Thunderbolt by TM, but when it leveled up to the level it learns Thunderbolt it still wanted to learn it. So I replaced Thundershock with it and when I looked at its moveset Thunderbolt was listed twice.

[ateck5]

well, i love torterra, that is actually normal, it even stood in bulbapedia^^

but i got something strange with time version:
i was hunting for darkrai in miracle sea, but when my used watergun with my feraligatr i saw: "shellos storm drain prevent water moves to hit" while i hittet darkrai is it normal?

[gustavo 14]

@ateck5: storm drain is supposed to do that with water moves. that's normal. it's the same as the lightningrod ability and electric moves.

same happened to me in PMD 1, but it was in fiery field. i reached floor 8, and as i the floor loaded, me and my partner, blaziken and swampert, were switching color palettes. seconds later, my game froze.

[ateck5]

i know but i saw it when i attacked darkrai, so darkrai had storm drain

[sizida]

does the team charm chapter (special episodes) dungeons does not allow me to see traps even with the goggle specs? gosh luckily there isn't grudge traps around. i accidentally hit one in eastern island (where you can catch suicune), and all the pokemon have grudge! such an evil trap!

the storm drain in sky is buggy, it supposes that if enemies use water attacks, no matter where the pokemon with this ability, water moves will fail. so does volt absorb. sometimes my pokemon are not bless with not able to hit electric/water moves, most of the time they end up fainted from the bug.

[Excitable Boy]

No, Shellos did. Storm Drain sucks in all Water moves used anywhere on the floor.

Not a bug.

[ateck5]

hmm oowkeey i see it now doh i wanted to discover a bug 2 =)

[Sharks Shouldn't Fly]

On Blue Rescue team, my Reviver Seeds won't work. I'll be in Wyvern Hill, on my way to get Fly, and even though I have 2 or 3 seeds in my toolbox, when I faint, they don't revive me. I've only tried this with my starter, Feraligatr, but it's really annoying. :/

[Raikaria]

Just wondering if this was a bug or not.

In Sky, I took a mission in Drenched Bluff, rescueing a Geodude. No Restrictions like 'You must bring pokemon X, or pokemon with type Y'. However, when I got to the floor, it said:

'You reached a Destination Floor!'
'But where's the target pokemon?'

True enough, I searched the whole floor [Barring water tiles, which I couldn't check, as a Bulbasaur], and the Geodude was nowhere to be found.

[lugiaxwolf]

Hey!!! OMG I just joined-
anyway,I wanted to mention this glitch I found on pokemon mystery dungeon blue.
I don't know what I did, but when I defeated a kangaskan I axcidently held down 'y' as it was fading from the screen and its transparent form stayed there untill it went for its 'hurt' sprite to its 'idle' sprite. it just sat there transparent until I lifted the 'y' button then it vanished. I tried it again with a diffrent pokemon and it did it again. but once I went to a diffrent floor it didn't do it again.
It still doesn't do it with me anymore but I still wander how I did it...
