What To Do in the Post-Game

Recruit Legendary Pokemon

Legendary Pokemon can now be recruited with new story events in the post-game, or bosses that have been successfully defeated will now join your team!

Challenge Dungeons Unlocked

New Dungeons will appear with a much greater difficulty level than those found in the main Story. These include Dungeons with 99 floors, Dungeons where your whole party starts at Level 1, and more.

All Pokemon Become Available

Over 400 Pokemon are available in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX. Every Pokemon can be recruited, so be sure to purchase Rescue Camps ahead of time to make sure you can befriend any Pokemon.

Shiny Pokemon Become Available

Like the main series games, Shiny Pokemon or alternate colored versions of each Pokemon can now be found in the game. These Shinies appear as Strong Foes, whose shiny versions only appear after completing the main story missions.

Strong Foe Recruit and Spawn Guide

Aim for the Highest Rescue Team Rank!

Work your way up until the prestigious Grand Master Rank. Lots of Pokemon still need to be rescued! It is going to be tedious, but at least the variety of dungeons in the post-game will keep you entertained.

Post-Game Content Order

Pokemon Events
▶ Mew, Kyogre, and Regi Trio ▶ Latios and Latias ▶ Mewtwo, Ho-oh, and the Legendary Dogs ▶ Lugia, Deoxys, and Celebi ▶ Jirachi, Gengar, and Gerdevoir

These events can be completed in any order by following the steps below.

How to Get Mew, Kyogre and the Regi Trio

1	Finish any dungeon (with or without taking a Job) Talk to the Medicham in front of your base, the Lombre in Pokemon Square, and the Whiscash in the pond north of the Square in that order. This will unlock the Stormy Sea Dungeon. You can find Kyogre in this Dungeon.
2	Complete the Stormy Sea Dungeon. Read the News about the Ruins that arrives in the mail. Then, talk to the Lombre and the Shiftry in Pokemon Square in that order. You'll become able to visit the Buried Relic Dungeon.
3	Reach 15F of Buried Relic and defeat the first Boss, Regirock. Continue to 25F of Buried Relic and fight the second Boss, Regice. Finally, reach 35F of Buried Relic and defeat the third Boss, Registeel. After defeating all three Bosses, you'll receive a Music Box.
4	After defeating all three Regi Pokemon, Mew will appear somewhere from 36F to 99F of the Dungeon. Some players report Mew only appears on floors 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 98.

Encounter with Mew

Mew will appear in an undetermined location from 36F to 99F of Buried Relic, and recruitment is not guaranteed. Be sure to purchase Mew's Final Island Rescue Camp before attempting this challenge!

How to Get Latios and Latias

1	Clear Stormy Sea Go to the Pelipper Office Bulletin Board to trigger an event. You will receive access to a friend area, Southern Island.
2	Complete any dungeon. After waking up, another event will trigger, and you will be able to access Northern Range.
3	Reach 25F of Northern Range and defeat Latios. After defeating Latios, another event will trigger. This will unlock Pitfall Valley
4	Reach 25F of Pitfall Valley and rescue Latias. There is no boss battle as it is a rescue mission. Latios and Latias will join your rescue team after the mission.

How to Get Mewtwo, Ho-oh and the Legendary Dogs

1	Finish any dungeon. Go to the Bulletin Board near the Pelipper Post Office, and a story event with Spinda will begin

How to Get Jirachi, Gengar and Gardevoir

1	Complete Pitfall Valley and trigger the event in Pokemon Square between Medicham and Ekans. You need to trigger this conversation three times. You have to clear a dungeon every time the conversation ends.
2	Ekans will eventually be found in the Pelipper Post Office, and a request from Medicham will appear in the Bulletin Board. The Wish Cave Dungeon will be unlocked
3	Rescue Medicham on 20F of the Wish Cave. This will allow you to access up to 99F of Wish Cave; otherwise, you will not be able to continue further into the Dungeon.

5	Clear any Dungeon. Talk to Medicham in the Pokemon Square.
6	Complete any Dungeon. This will trigger an event when you wake up.

Tips and Strategies for Post-Game Missions

Boost your Rescue Team Rank

Starting from the Rookie Rank, you can continue to climb in the ranks as you complete Jobs. This will increase the number of Pokemon you can recruit and the number of items you can hold, so it will help significantly in completing the post-game Dungeons.

Level-Up Your Pokemon

Complete dungeons or use Dojo Tickets to level up your Pokemon and unlock more of their moves, which may be necessary to battle opponents that are weak to certain types.

Loved this game from front to back! sad we cant really physically visit the camps anymore. Purity forest kept me busy for some time and made me make up my new own challenges. Def recommend!

The game is kinda short and the post game is a let down. But the gengar and gardevoir ending was cool.
