What does the item ginseng do in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team?

Answer 1

(1 person)

It raises the power of your current selected move( the move that you use when you press L + A ) while in a dungeon. Be sure to check what the move will be powered up before consuming a Ginseng!

Also, Ginseng only works on the leader, so don't waste one on a partner.

The number beside the move will indicate how much it has been powered up.

Example:

Flamethrower + 1

This indicates that Flamethrower has been powered up once.

Note that sometimes, if you're lucky, a Ginseng will power the move by more than 1. If so, the game will notify you.(2 person)i am a machamp level 75 and a started as a mochomp. my moves were good, but not good enough. i had 12 ginseng but i didn't know it olny works on set moves. i used 1 on a linked move, 1 on vacum-cut and 1 without a set move. i had 1 grimy ginseng so i had 8 ginseng left. i used them all on dig. i got 2 lucky's and now it is dig+12.here is my moves before and after the ginseng and the damage results are average.KEY:(C)----------changed,as in forgot this move and learnt anew move.(N)----------now.(U)----------untouched.(L1/2)-------linked with...( move 1/2).[ ]-------if linked with a move,this will show totaldamage of all moves linked to each other.before:dig 180 damage. miss all attacks for 1 turn.
