Helpful Traps?

[Opal Armaldo]

I was poisoned and running out of health, and I had no idea where the stairs were, and I fell down a Pitfall trap. That was probably the best thing that could've happened to me - Has anyone else had a time when traps helped them?

No.

Pitfall Traps are nice if the leader falls into them. The basically go on to the next floor. But if one of your partners fall into that, then they will end up in their Friend Area, while new recruits are simply lost if they fall into a Pitfall Trap.

Because i dont use a team, only a single pokemon i like landing in a room with a warp trap and always use it. Unless of course the stairs are in the room. ;123;

Warp traps and pitfall traps have helped me on occasion, but none others have ever helped...

Same here

Their was also a time when I was trying to level up and I stepped on one of those aroma traps. You know, the kind that attracts wild Pokemon? Anyway and by defeating those two I got a level up!

An explosion trap helped me, believe it or not. I was surrounded by pokemon with 50 hp left, I stepped on an explosion trap and the pokemon around me died! I recruited 2 of them, a Grimer and a Shuppet.

One time a Pitfall trap saved me in Murky Cave(I think), another time I believe in Buried Relic a Warp Trap put me in the room with the door, before my partners got kiled.

Pitfall Traps had helped me a lot in the dungeons where you go downstairs but I hate them when you are in a mountain

 

[Saur]

yeah traps help sometimes

I always make it a point to purposely step on every Aroma Trap I see. My team can easily handle the attracted Pokémon and get some free experience in the process. Plus, it is a nice way to run into recruitable Pokémon during one's first trip to a dungeon.

In Lv. 1 dungeons, Warp Traps can also be useful provided that you entered alone and haven't yet recruited anyone. It could warp you closer to the stairs or away from a particularly irritating wild Pokémon.

Also, on a floor with a rare Pokémon (such as Chansey), you can use Pokémon Traps to your advantage. If you bring 99 of a throwing item and scatter them all about the floor, you can step on a Pokémon Trap to replace them all with wild Pokémon. A few of those 99 will probably be the rare Pokémon in question. However, because this essentially creates the world's largest Monster House, you should be powerful enough to fend off about 99 foes in succession. You can also do this in a dungeon with Pokémon that yield a lot of experience to level up quite quickly.
