Darkness is a natural feature of dungeons that restricts visibility of the floor. Tiles that have been previously revealed but are not currently within the player's sight will be shaded. Unrevealed tiles will be completely obscured.
Types of Darkness
There are five settings for darkness: Clear, Dark, Murky, Blind, and Any. Additionally, darkness can be set separately for the floor tiles ("Tile sight") and enemies ("Char sight") — this can make it so that the floor is lit but enemies are hidden, or vice-versa. Note that setting darkness for enemies but not the floor tiles will still cause parts of the floor to be shaded to indicate what is visible or not.
| Image | Settings | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Clear | All tiles are fully lit. |
|
Tile sight: Clear Char sight: Dark |
Tiles within line-of-sight are lit. Tiles outside of this are shaded, and any Pokémon standing there are hidden. |
|
Dark | Tiles within line-of-sight are lit. Tiles outside of this are obscured until first revealed. |
|
Tile sight: Clear Char sight: Murky |
Tiles within a 1-tile radius are lit. Tiles outside of this are shaded, and any Pokémon standing there are hidden. This most resembles the deep darkness effect in the original games. |
|
Murky | Tiles within a 1-tile radius are lit. Tiles outside of this are obscured until first revealed. |
|
Blind | No tiles are lit. Only tiles previously stepped on are shaded, and all other tiles are obscured. |
|
Any | Out-of-bounds is obscured, but all other tiles are fully lit. This setting is unused. |
