The first floor of all the mazes have no special features, the second floor have limited visibility and water except Fire Maze which have lava and Rock and Steel Maze which doesn't have any special floor tiles.

The Pokémon encountered in Makuhita Dojo cannot be recruited in any of the mazes. Boss Pokémon in the Team mazes may be recruited, however. The boss Pokémon may only be recruited if the player is level 90 or higher and wearing a Friend Bow, with the exception of Nuzleaf in the Team Shifty maze and Graveler in the Team Rumblerock maze, which can be recruited if the player is either level 90 or higher or level 50 or higher with a Friend Bow. There is no chance of finding Monster Houses, Kecleon Shops, or items in this dungeon. Pickup still works, however. Clearing a maze shall refresh the items available in the Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square and the missions available on the bulletin board.
In Rescue Team DX
The player cannot train at the Dojo without at least one Bronze, Silver, or Gold Dojo Ticket.
Mechanics
- Depending on the type of Dojo Ticket used, the player is given 50, 55, or 60 seconds to traverse and defeat Pokémon within a one-floor maze to earn Experience Points and Move Experience. The timer will continue to run during animations or when the menu is opened.
- Walking turns are faster than they usually are.
- Depending on the type of Dojo Ticket used, Experience and Move Experience earned are multiplied by three, five, or seven.
- The Experience gained is substantially increased if an enemy defeated by super-effective moves.
- Mazes contain Pokémon who are weak to the namesake maze, except for the Normal Maze, as no type is weak to Normal. For example, the Fire Maze may contain Pokémon of the Bug-type, the Grass-type, the Ice-type, or the Steel-type.
- The player can only choose up to a maximum of two mazes that depends on the type of the Pokémon selected to train, e.g. if a Baltoy is chosen to train, that Pokémon can only enter either the Ground or Psychic mazes, respectively and single-type Pokémon such as Blastoise can only enter the Water Maze and no other.
- No items can be found within the mazes, and no Pokémon can be recruited.
- If the Pokémon faints, it will be revived with its stats reset to normal. There is no limit to how many times the Pokémon can be revived.
- Using moves does not consume any PP, allowing moves to be used infinitely in mazes.
- Once the time has passed, the Experience Points accumulated goes into the trained Pokémon.

Rewards

The player will also receive a Ginseng the first time they clear the Rescue Team-based mazes.
Trivia
- Octillery's usage of the word "darling" may be a play on at least one of the Gabor sisters.
- The fully-evolved recruitable boss Pokémon in the team mazes represent eight of the nine exceptions to a game mechanic that prevents players from recruiting fully-evolved Pokémon in dungeons. The lone other exception is Porygon2.
- In the original games, all of the training dungeons share the same theme song with Rock Path, Snow Path, and Joyous Tower. In Rescue Team DX, they use the same music as when the player attempts to steal from a Kecleon Shop.
