Recommended Linked Moves.png

This page lists our recommended Linked Moves for efficient and effective dungeon runs on the game Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX for the Nintendo Switch. Linked Moves are a unique feature offered by the Gulpin NPC in the Pokemon Square.

Recommended Combinations

Lower Enemy Defenses then Attack

One option would be first a move that lowers Def or Sp. Def like Tail Whip, followed by a damaging move like Frustration. This is a good strategy in boss battles or against Strong Foes because all your Pokemon can take advantage of the lowered defenses of the opponent.

Moves that lower defenses, aside from the mentioned Tail Whip, are Fake Tears and Acid.

Strengthen Atk or Sp. Atk then Attack

Another option would be starting with a move that buffs your offensive capabilities, like Focus Energy or, then placing second a damaging move like Double Edge. This is good when fighting multiple enemies as the buffs linger even if one Pokemon is defeated.

Moves that Strengthen Atk. or Sp. Atk are Charge, and Swords Dance, and the beforementioned Focus Energy.

Status Moves + Attack

Not all linked moves have to deal with raising attack or lowering defense. Some moves just naturally go well together.

Example: Defense Curl + Rollout

The already powerful multi-strike Rollout becomes even more powerful after you use Defense Curl, so consider linking these moves together.

Example: Protect + any attacking move

Give yourself one free hit by using Protect right before hitting the enemy with an attacking move! Take note, however, that this won't work all the time as the chances of Protect failing increase the more you use it.

Ranged + Ranged

This combo is a great way to deal with enemies as they won't be able to attack you from a distance. Try linking moves like Quick Attack, Ember, Flamethrower, Bubble, Water Pulse, or Ice Beam together!

not even a proper drawback! It's too powerful! Heracross is owning everything. Empowerment Seed = Game Clear

I was a player of the originals and I though that they will nerf the mult-hit moves in PMDXX. I think its even more powerful because of the move upgrades that are introduced here and the various Rare Qualities
