Currencies

Currencies are types of money used to purchase certain items.

Currencies are useful, but they can be easily lost as well. If not saved carefully, they will all be dropped when you faint in any dungeon. To prevent this from happening, it is highly advised that one stores their currencies in Kangaskhan Storage, available in every town. Money saved in the storage will not be stolen or dropped at all, regardless of how you fare in dungeons.

Poké
Poké is the main type of currency used in PMU, just like in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It is the form of payment accepted by almost everyone in the world, and can be used in shops in exchange for items. Other than trading, it is the most popular way of obtaining items from others.

Poké can be found in almost all dungeons in Exbel, Winden, Tanren, and Archford, and the amount usually varies depending on the intensity of the dungeon. For example, you will usually find less Poké in an easier and shoter dungeon like Tiny Grotto in comparison to a strong one such as Sky Fortress. When Poké is found in a dungeon, it takes up one slot in the inventory no matter the amount and will keep adding to that one slot.

To obtain Poké:
 * Finding it randomly on the ground in dungeons.
 * Selling items to various Kecleon Shops.
 * Defeating certain bosses or Pokémon that drop it.

Uses of Poké:
 * You can buy items for a specific amount of Poké from the various shops.
 * You can buy items from players, but there are no actual set prices for player-sold items, so the amount of Poké in need will always vary.
 * Xatu Appraisal accepts 150 Poké per opening of boxes found in dungeons.
 * Ripley's service in Grassroot Bazaar costs 500 Poké.
 * Transport from Snowbasin Town to Frigid Heights costs 500 Poké.
 * Houses have certain extensions for players, such as a roof, weather, expanding the house, and other features. Expansions cost considerable amounts of Poké, so it is advisable to save up for this special treat.
 * Founding guilds for 100,000 Poké with an Explorer Rank of Master (13,500 points), and adding members for an increasing price.
 * Fusing Heart Slates into a Mystery Part.
 * Buying spawn points at various rest stops.

Ekop
In place of Poké, Ekop is a currency only found and used in the Tanren Undercity. There's an area in the Tanren Undercity called the Dark Market, where several merchants sell selective items. Ekop can also be spent in the Sunken Tavern and the gang base shops.

Royal Gems
Royal Gems are a unique currency found only in Dragon's Descent and its continuation, Dragon's Descent Depths. They are sometimes dropped by the Pokémon and bosses found there, on the ground, or in the end boxes. They can be traded with Taric the Dragonite at his shop outside the entrance to the dungeon.

Rupi
Rupi are similar to Royal Gems, they are a unique currency found only in Dynamo Sands on the ground in the Labyrinth, in the end boxes of the dungeon, and as a drop from the boss. They can be traded with Gabeedle the Gabite at his shop outside the entrance to the dungeon.

Event Tokens
Event Tokens are a currency obtained from Weekly Events, and usually through Holiday Caves as well. These can be used on items at Spinda's Cafe in Delite Plaza.

Past Event Currencies
Each Holiday Cave and some events have their own currency which can be used to buy items from their shops.

Trivia

 * Before Easter 2019, the Easter Treat had a recolored Rare Candy sprite [[File:Old Easter Treat.png]] Its description also misspelled 'interested' as 'intrested'. Its sprite was updated to be a brown Candy from Let's Go Pikachu and Let's go Eevee [[File:Easter Treat.png]] before being updated again on Easter 2020 into Truffle with a new sprite.
 * Ekop is Poké spelled backwards without the accent on the E, representing the nature of Tanren Undercity.
 * Dropping Poké, often 1 Poké, is a tradition commonly partaken by PMU players in towns, as a means of spelling out text on the ground. While small this tradition has existed for as long as the game. Since 1 Poké is easily obtained, this tradition is not expected to disappear as the game progresses.
