Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX: Kecleon Guide - Recruit, Shop, Stats And Moveset

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX launched March 6th and if you played the original game, you are probably well aware of Kecleon.

One may think he is just a simple Pokemon shop owner, but there is more than meets the eyes.

This suspicious Pokemon is perhaps the strongest Pokemon you will encounter in the game, and requires a special process to recruit it.

Let's take a look at everything we know about Kecleon.

Be sure to watch our wide variety of Pokemon content here!

Store

In the Pokemon town, you and your partner can roam around there is the Kecleon shop.

This is where you can buy/sell all the items you will collect in your adventures in various dungeons. This where Kecleon is by far the calmest. 

Kecleon also has pop-up shops in dungeons throughout the game; these are going to be in the hardest and longest dungeons to give you a chance to refresh your inventory. 

This is also where you should be most concerned about Kecleon, as we will talk about later how powerful it can be!

 

Stealing

This is where Kecleon is by far the strongest Pokemon in the game, in an aim to educate people about how to not steal from others; if you dare steal from Kecleon be prepared. 

As soon as you take an item from his shop in a dungeon and step off of his shop mat, he will immediately come after you.

Kecleon will warp near you and start to attack and this will also warn all the enemies in the dungeon where you are also.
