Traps

A longstanding tradition in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games are Traps. Traps are tiles on the floor that have various effects. Sometimes these are visible from the outset, other times they are hidden.

You're able to see the hidden Traps with the Goggle Specs and See-Trap Orb and with the Trap Scarf you'll be immune to the effects of them. The Trap Burst Orb will destroy all the traps on the ground. In addition to that, sometimes the floor will be defused and traps will not go off. This often happens during rain.
