Pokémon Obtaining Guide/Key Based

Welcome to Key Based Pokémon Obtaining Guide. This page functions as a list of every location and way where keys are used to obtain/recruit Pokémon in PMU.

Mystery Egg
One way to recruit Pokémon is to hatch Mystery Eggs received from locations that unlock with keys.

In order to get Pokémon through Mystery Eggs:
 * Eggs must be hatched outside of a dungeon.
 * The player must have an open slot in their party.
 * The player must take a certain amount of steps (The amount of steps varies between species).
