Community:Tips from Players

is editable by anyone. This page serves as both a space for anyone to write down tips but also as a good source of tips. Tips can come in all shapes and forms, from arena to mini-games.

The only criteria being that the tip must be helpful and related to PMU.

Tips

 * Avoid getting surrounded at all costs, especially if nearby Pokémon know moves that give negative statuses. If you do, you can get locked in hit stun and potentially be unable to do anything until the enemies defeat you or you're able to attack back.
 * Store money between each dungeon run.
 * If you relog, wind will start even if you don't move.
 * Using a Pokémon that starts up a weather can be used for Lickitung hunting in Island Garden.
 * Beginner's Band gives a +5% Exp boost plus +5 to all the team member stats.
 * Having one Pokémon hold Beginner's Band while another Pokémon in the party holds Beginner's Badge will stack the stat boost, making the active Pokémon have a +5% Exp boost plus +10 to the holder's stats.
 * Make your leader a Pokémon you won't use in battle.
 * For an efficient escape, make your leader hold an Escape Orb.
 * Get TM Rest as soon as possible for status ailments and restoring HP. Try Winden Pass, or buy one for 5000 Poké at Grassroot Town's Kecleon Shop.
 * Mt Skylift is one of the best dungeons to train a level 30 or 40. If you're careful you can also train a level 20 to 30 in one run.
 * Ghost types can continue to travel through walls in dungeons if they use Rest or an HP recovering move.
 * Flying and Ghost types will gain a status problem if they travel across the following:
 * Lava (Burn)
 * Hot water (Burn)
 * Poisoned water (Poison)
 * Frozen water (Frozen)
 * Numb Green Water (Paralysis)
 * Defiant will activate on moves that cause the user to lower their own stats.
 * Using a Pokémon with the ability Pickup in Winden Pass is one of the quickest ways to obtain Heart Scales.
 * Using Teddiursa with a Flame Orb burn is even quicker.
 * Quick Guard protects against all moves that have a range of 3 tiles or higher.
 * Wide Guard protects against all AoEs and Multi-Target Sprays.
 * Golduck with a Damp Rock will always have the ability Swift Swim activated.
 * To hatch Mystery Eggs, have an open slot in your party while running around.
 * Using a Pokémon with some sort of movement speed boost (ie the Ability Speed Boost or Crystals) can quicken the rate of Mystery Eggs hatching due to being able to make steps faster.
 * If you take the top and then bottom side of the map in Pitch-Black Abyss you can continue to generate items while minimizing your risks.
 * Despite Pitch-Black Abyss not allowing parties, it is possible to see other guild members.
 * Pitch-Black Abyss eggs take on average around 45 minutes to 1 hour to hatch.
 * Giving a Focus Sash to a level 1 Shedinja will make it impervious to all direct attacks.
 * It is possible to use Role Play or Skill Swap on a Shedinja.
 * Trapped Scarf prevents Ghost-types from walking on walls.
 * Do missions as soon as possible to increase your storage and bag space.
 * You can organize your inventory by clicking and dragging.
 * If a message appears to ask for a confirmation when trying to give up, then the player will lose items.
 * Traveling on a type-oriented tile then switching to a Pokémon that cannot walk on that certain tile will cause the Pokémon to warp when it attacks.
 * You can Recycle Grimy Foods at Lickilicky's Cleanse Shop, including ones that weren't originally Apples.
 * Occasionally check the Mystery Egg in the highest inventory slot to see if it's about to hatch. If it is, move it to the lowest slot so you can let your other eggs get closer to hatching. Useful if you're someplace where Mystery Eggs can't hatch, like in a dungeon.
 * In a pinch, you can eat the seeds and berries you find in the dungeons to refill your belly.
 * Before entering Tanren Chambers, create a party even if you're only going in by yourself. This will help you keep track of whether or not you picked up a key on X floor, since the chat will announce both when you picked up a key and when you enter a floor.
 * Bibarel can learn most HM moves, except Fly, making it a good candidate as a HM slave.
 * Type-enhancing items, such as Charcoal, make dungeon running easier by giving 20% increased damage for a specific type's moves.
 * Shards in dungeons appear F21+. Look for Shards using the Frisk ability.
