Dungeon Explorer

A dungeon explorer being talked to by a team.

A Dungeon Explorer is a Pokemon in a dungeon that is passive to the player.

Usage

Dungeon explorers are most often used to give dialogue to the player. Typically they tell the player useful hints, including hints specific to the dungeon. They may also be present just to provide flavour text about the dungeon itself.

Move Tutors

This section contains content exclusive to the Release Candidate. It is likely to change. (Accurate for patch 0.8.11)

Some explorers are move tutors who will randomly spawn in certain dungeons. When talked to, they will charge the player money to teach a tutor move. After being interacted with, the tutor move may become available in the base town. The game will generally attempt to spawn a tutor with moves that the player can learn, if such a move is possible.

Implementation

Dungeon explorers are typically spawned with the zone step Spread Step Zone Step. Usually they are spawned using the Rand Bag type of spawning. Then, the PlaceRandomMobsStep is added, with the explorer typically specified with the Preset Multi Team Spawner. Here, the explorer is flagged as an Explorer to make them passive, and then customized from there. Their typical tactic is "Slow Patrol".
