List of Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon characters

The following is a list of characters that appeared in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.

Deerling
is a student at the Serene Village school. She is quite popular among classmates, but speaks bluntly. Deerling is protective of Goomy, and seems to be easily irritated by Pancham and Shelmet's antics. She shows absolutely no regard to Pancham and Shelmet's admiration for her whatsoever.

Shelmet
is a student at the Serene Village school. He is Pancham's friend and subordinate, often following him and taking part in his mischief, although he is just as mischievous as Pancham in his own right. He is, however, slower than Pancham, and is often left behind, despite coming up with an equal number of pranks and tricks as Pancham does. He is much more cowardly than Pancham.

Pancham
is a student at the Serene Village school. He is a bully, especially to the partner Pokémon, who he regards as annoying. Much of his spite towards the player seems to be out of his mere relationship with the partner Pokémon. He tends to talk bigger than he will actually back up, as he is quite cowardly.

Goomy
is a student at the Serene Village school. Of all the students, he is the youngest, and is rather cowardly. Despite that, he is able to summon his courage when challenged or made fun of, showing he dislikes being underestimated, and is determined to show his value. His amount of confidence is a complete parallel to that of the partner Pokémon, as Goomy lacks confidence in himself completely.

Espurr
is a student at the Serene Village school. She is hard-working, mature, intelligent, and observant. She seems to be afraid of nothing. Espurr is described by Pancham and Shelmet as being one of the few students at the school who actually possesses natural talent. She does not speak much during the school arc, unless spoken to, and is typically quiet. She later assists Ampharos and the Expedition Society in defeating Dark Matter.

Simipour
is the principal of the Serene Village School. He is very carefree, jolly and very optimistic. When the player joins the school, he welcomes them to the school.

Mr. Nuzleaf
Mr. rescues the player character from the attack of three Beheeyem, and then takes the player home to Serene Village.

However it is later shown that he was controlled the whole time by Dark Matter. His dialogue is written in a Southerner accent.

Ampharos
is the chief of the Expedition Society. Known abroad as "the Dashing Wanderer", he is trusted by the members of the Expedition Society, despite having the world's worst sense of direction. He is also rather forgetful, and tends to treat rules, even ones made by himself, as more of a suggestion than anything, and will occasionally either bypass or simply remove a rule that he himself may have made. Despite this, he is rather genuinely caring, and has the utmost confidence in all the societies members.

He will occasionally say that he cannot guarantee safety of himself and of others if he finds a tough Pokémon to battle, as he likes to see how he stacks up against his opponent. Despite that, he is caring and does watch out for the Player and their partner when the need arises. He also comes into conflict with Swirlix a lot, as her gluttonous ways tend to get on his nerves.

At the Purifiying Cave, the player meets the abductors, Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem. Mew begins to glow with light and seemingly begins to fade away.
