Some exploration tips that'll be of some help to you if you didn't know them, as well as friendly reminders.
If you wiggle the Dpad around when you use moves with screen animations like Blizzard and Confusion, it'll come out a tiny bit faster. For room attacks, it'll go through the animations of hitting all the pokemon in the room one by one faster than if you weren't moving the Dpad around. Be careful not to accidentally take a step, though.
If you use a normal attack on the space in front of you, it'll reveal a trap that's there, assuming there is a trap there. Not sure if it reveals secret stairs.
Don't bother with buried items unless it's in the 7 Instrument dungeons, excluding Sky Stairway. Outside those, it seems most, if not ALL buried items are just money.
Don't sell Lost Loot and Gold Ribbons right away. Instead, take them to a Kecleon Shop in a dungeon, sell, and steal them back.
NEVER do escort missions that have a Slaking joining you, as well as anything that might spam Growl or Water Sport.
Get a pokemon with Pierce Hurler, equip them with lockon specs, and throw gummis and vitamins through your team for triple the effect!
Sky Peak Secret Bazaar's grab bags are the best for buffing your team. Come in with Eyedrop seeds to find the stairs, and combine with the above tip to get the equivalent of many levelups in growth.
In Rescue Team, try to get Super Mobile on your main ASAP. A lot of dungeons have great stuff in the walls, and it also lets you take shortcuts. Not to mention at that level of IQ, you'll get Trap Seer, which renders traps useless against you.
Alakazam+Warp Scarf is the best tactic for level 1 dungeons IN RESCUE TEAM. In Explorers, it's nowhere near as good because Alakazam's level 1 stats are very low as opposed to very high. In these dungeons, Frustration is also king, due to dealing a flat 45 damage.
