How Do You Recruit Pokemon?
In order for you to recruit Pokemon to your ranks, certain conditions need to be met. Here are few examples of the necessary conditions you should check to maximize your chances of recruiting new Pokemon!
Needs Corresponding Rescue Camp
In order to recruit new Pokemon, you will need to already own a Rescue Camp that your new recruits can reside in. These Rescue Camps (formerly known as Friend Areas in the original version) can be bought at the Wigglytuff Camp Corner in the Pokemon Square, or are acquired through events.

In order to recruit a Pokemon, they will need to be defeated in a battle against your Team's Leader. Note that the Pokemon MUST be defeated by damage from moves (not by DoT or weather damage) and need to be directly adjacent to your Leader when defeated.
Team Must Have Less Than 8 Pokemon
Although your team mainly consists of 3 Pokemon, you can also have up to 5 more extra Pokemon, up to a maximum of 8 Pokemon with you for the trip that you meet along the way. Once you have reached this maximum capacity, you will not be able to recruit new Pokemon until the end of that dungeon.
Recruit Strong Foe Pokemon
You will also be able to recruit Strong Foe Pokemon! However, keep in mind that the chances of recruiting them are very low. You may need to use items to increase your chances of recruiting them!

Level Up Your Leader
The chances of you successfully being able to recruit Pokemon depends on your Team Leader's level. Level up your Team Leader as much as you can to increase your chance to successfully recruiting new Pokemon. Consider revisiting the dungeon after progressing in the game as well!
