How to Farm Stat Boost Items.png

This is a guide page on how to Farm Stat Boost Items on the game Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX on the Nintendo Switch. Stat Boost Items are things like Vitamins and Medicines which include Carbos, Protein and Accuracy Drink items.

Best Stat-boosting Item Sources

Buried Relic and Unown Relic

Buried Relic and Unown Relic contain many Stat-boosting items within their walls. The items above allow you to dig through those walls.

X-Ray Specs allow you to see where you should dig to find the Stat-boosting Items. This is the best source of Stat Boost Items in the game.

Although Hyper Beam is able to destroy walls, it also destroys items. Do not use it to dig through the walls.

Friend Rescue Board

Another source of Stat-boosting Items are running Friend Rescues. To boost this method's efficiency, run multiple Friend Rescues in one dungeon. Make sure to run Deluxe requests as they promise more rewards

What are Stat-boosting Items?

Items that Permanently Increase Stats

How to Use

Opening the Toolbox allows you to use Stat-boosting Items one by one while exploring a Dungeon. However, it's quicker to go to a Rescue Team Camp and use it there, as this allows you to use Stat-boosting Items all at once.

Using them in a Dungeon will also exhaust a turn with each Item used, so you need to be careful if you do it in Dungeons.

Yup. I love my trusty Haunter for this. I want to get that Rare Quality that you were talking about so I can run dungeons without Haunter (he's quite weak)
