Kecleon Shops are locations in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It is made up of a number of carpeted tiles on the floor in certain dungeons. Invariably, a Kecleon will be standing on one of these tiles. These tiles have items on them. To buy them, the player must pick them up and talk to the Kecleon to pay for them. To sell items, the player simply places them on empty shop tiles, and then receives the money from Kecleon. Items available this way are often very rare and almost never available from the Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square or Treasure Town. If the player picks them up and leaves the carpeted area, Kecleon will warp to the player's side, and demand payment. If the player refuses to pay, or tries to pay with insufficient funds, the Kecleon will label the player as a thief and attack the player. Using a Trawl Orb has the same effect, as Kecleon shop merchandise is counted among the floor's unclaimed items. Also, an explosion resulting from Selfdestruct, Explosion, Aftermath, or a trap will destroy any nearby items, including Kecleon shop merchandise, which Kecleon counts as a theft.

Effects of theft

After the player steals from a Kecleon Shop, a number of changes will take effect immediately, and will not wear off until the player reaches the next floor or somehow escapes the dungeon.

• Escape Orbs will become useless.
• Attempts to complete a rescue mission will fail. However, retrieving an item from an outlaw will allow the team to escape the dungeon in a perfectly normal fashion.
• The Kecleon shop itself becomes no different than ordinary ground, aside from the look. Items that remained unsold at the time of the theft become regular items and can be picked up by passing wild Pokémon. Placing items on a Kecleon shop tile will not result in a sale. Additionally, placing the stolen items back on the Kecleon shop tiles will not result in any leniency or forgiveness.
• If the player is knocked out by a Kecleon, any remaining items in the bag will be turned into Plain Seeds.
• The Kecleon that ran the market will turn hostile and begin attacking the player. In addition, multiple other Kecleon will spawn and join the original Kecleon. These Kecleon have abnormally high stats, are at level 90, and are constantly at double speed, all of which make them exceedingly difficult to defeat. However, defeating them is the only possible method of recruiting a Kecleon. However, even if the leader is level 100, is holding a Golden Mask, and has the Fast Friends IQ skill, the chance of a Kecleon asking to join is approximately 0.5%. However, in the original games, any level 100 Pokémon with a Friend Bow would work fine.
