Team A.C.T.

Team A.C.T in Ginji's Rescue Team

Team A.C.T. (Japanese: Team F.L.B.) is a Gold Rank rescue team in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team. The team is led by Alakazam with Charizard and Tyranitar as teammates. Many Pokémon look up to them, including Mudkip from Ginji's Rescue Team.

In the games

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Team A.C.T plays a role in the games as the team that is idolised by the player's partner and Pokémon Square onlookers and warns the player to go and escape after Gengar accuses him or her of being the human in the Ninetales' legend and the reason for the range of natural disasters that are occurring before he or she escapes into Lapis Cave, after the scene in Pokémon Square. They act as one of the many rescue teams pursuing the player and his/her partner into Mt. Blaze, Frosty Forest and Mt. Freeze, ending up being the only team to make it the entire way. They also attempt to battle Groudon in Magma Cavern and Magma Cavern Pit, but to no avail. Only Alakazam makes it to see Groudon, but vanishes when the player finishes talking to him.

It is mentioned within the introduction of Team A.C.T. by the partner, that Charizard knows Flamethrower, and that when creating the Teleport Gem, Alakazam knows Teleport.

In the manga

Team A.C.T. play a significant role in the games and the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga. They were sent by Gengar to get Mudkip to safety from Ginji, and believed the rumors that Ginji was a cursed human being from Ninetales. That was all cleared up when Ninetales showed up. They helped out in battling Groudon, but to no avail, until help came from Absol.

Trivia

• Alakazam's role model is Lucario, the greatest rescuer. Because of him, Lucario Rank is the highest rank.
• The initials of their English name, "A.C.T.", come from the first letter of each Pokémon's name. The same goes for their Japanese names and "F.L.B."
  • The same can be said for Team AWD.
  • In the Finnish dub of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!, Team A.C.T. is referred as "Team N.Y.T.", likely coming from the Finnish word "nyt", meaning "now", probably referring to the way how they are immediately ready for a mission.
• Their team name was never actually said in the games, only in the manga.
• All members of Team A.C.T. gain a Mega Evolution in Generation VI.
