What Are Strong Foe Pokemon?
Powerful Pokemon In Mystery Dungeons
Strong foes are powerful Pokemon that you may encounter in the mystery dungeon you're entering. They're random encounters so you may or may not see them in your adventure.
Marked With Yellow Crown Triangle Icon
Strong foes are marked with an inverted yellow triangle icon that's emblazoned with a black crown. This is how you identify a strong foe Pokemon.
Can Be Recruited Into Party
If you encounter and defeat a strong foe Pokemon, there's a chance you can recruit them into your party. Make sure you have their Camp ready so you can bring them home to your HQ.
