Heroes

Students at Serene Village

Main article: Students (Super Mystery Dungeon)

Deerling

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

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

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 Pokemon. He tends to talk bigger than he will actually back up, as he is quite cowardly.

Goomy

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 Pokemon, as Goomy lacks confidence in himself completely.

Espurr

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.

Expedition Society members

Main article: Expedition Society

Ampharos

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.

Dedenne

Dedenne is a member of the Expedition Society. She communicates with the other members abroad through electrical signals. She is rather intellectual, and she cares for the player and the partner. She is also essential for long range communications.

Buizel

Buizel is a member of the Expedition Society. He is in charge of underwater expeditions. He is brave, but can be reckless. He will occasionally say that he cannot guarantee safety of himself and of others if he finds a tough Pokemon 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.

Archen

Archen is a member of the Expedition Society. He is in charge of aerial expeditions, despite his inability to fly. He initially acts as the mentor to the player and the partner, showing them the basics of the society. He takes his work seriously, but becomes distraught when his work is destroyed.

Bunnelby

Bunnelby is a member of the Expedition Society. He is in charge of underground expeditions. Bunnelby enjoys his work, and cares about the society as a whole.

Swirlix

Swirlix is the steward of the Expedition Society. She cooks meals every day, but as she is a glutton, she often finds herself eating it all.

Mawile

Mawile is an archaeologist in the Expedition Society. She spends her time studying the history of the world. She is very observant, noticing the smallest details in every situation.

Jirachi

Jirachi is an astronomer in the Expedition Society. Born in Star Cave, he spends his time observing the patterns of the stars. When he falls asleep, he is not easily woken up.

Other

Celebi

Celebi is a long-time friend of Ampharos who had been involved in investigating the events of Dark Matter. Celebi first appears at the Prehistoric Ruins with Ampharos and Jirachi when Nuzleaf is just about to turn the player to stone a second time. Celebi teleports everyone to Primeval Forest where the Tree of Life is. Celebi confirms that Dark Matter had once threatened the world by attempting to attack the Tree of Life, and also explains the power of the Harmony Scarves.

Mew

Mew is a Pokémon living in Mystery Jungle who befriends the player. Mew has no recollection of its past life or any idea who the player's partner is, but decides to join the Expedition Society and work with the player. The player and Expedition Society warm up to Mew, who begins exhibiting behaviors similar to the partner's. Mew then falls ill, and based on Ampharos and Xatu's advice, the player takes Mew to Serene Village. Mew, however is kidnapped, with the abductors planning on sacrificing Mew in Purifying Cave to remove the last fragments of Dark Matter which reside within Mew.

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. However, with the desire of the player, the Harmony Scarf begins to glow, and the player's partner is then restored from inside Mew. Mew subsequently reveals that it had been glad to be part of the "kidnapping" in order to restore the player's partner.

Xatu

Xatu is a Pokémon living in the Sand Dune of Spirits who can see the past and the future. After synchronizing the player's Harmony Scarf to its wavelength, Xatu will inform the player that it had seen Mew at Mystery Jungle but claims to be unable to decipher the rest of the vision. Later on, it is revealed that Xatu had foreseen that the player's partner was trapped inside Mew, and was part of the "kidnapping" plan in restoring the player's partner.
