Team Poképals (Japanese: ポケダンズ Pokédans) is the main team in the animated specials Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness.

History

The two main Pokémon of the team are Piplup and Chimchar. Piplup, however, is a human who was turned into a Pokémon, and was at first reluctant to be in an exploration team.

Although not part of Team Poképals, Sunflora from the Wigglytuff Guild accompanied them on their first mission in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness. Team Poképals also appeared alongside Grovyle in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky - Beyond Time and Darkness.
