Pok�mon Mystery Dungeon

Another mechanic unique to the Mystery Dungeon games are the IQ skills. These skills allow for the Pok�mon to work on their own and attack intelligently. As each Pok�mon has a certain IQ level, Group their skills increase as their IQ goes up in the same manner as happiness in the main games. When you get higher IQ, Group the Pok�mon do more things on their own, Group all of which are customisable so you do not have to have any on that you do not wish. Each Pok�mon Species is set to one specific group, Group from a selection of 8 which can have certain skills. The skills and the groups that they are a part of are as follows:
