Like with every other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game, there is a special hub that connects all the various areas to the dungeons, and provides a certain amount of services. However, in this game, the hub area known as Pokémon Paradise, offers a massive range of services, and has a twist.
| Post Town |
The town is the focal point on the hub area, as always with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. This town has got a variety of stalls of Pokémon to interact with, and features many Pokémon who interact with you throughout the story. This will be the place you frequent most in the game
- Kecleon's Store - Sells multiple items for you to purchase including Revival Seeds, TMs and berries. The contents change each time you return from a dungeon
- Gift Shop - Cinccino's store will provide you with two options. First is the option to purchase Gift items that allow you to more likely recruit Pokémon of a specific type, or later species if you have seen the species. The second option allows you to view all the Pokémon you have seen and obtained, and offers a way to purchase a gift for them.
- Open Box Store - Rampardos will offer to open any of the chests you find in dungeons for 150P. He will then give you all of the contents.
- DLC Corner - Foongus' store will allow you quick access to the eShop to check for and download any Downloadable Content
- Gold Gorgeous - Cofagrigus' store will exchange gold bars you have for money. If the amount goes over the 9,999 cap on money, then the rest will be deposited in your chest
- Type Up - Next to Cofagrigus is a store which will change owner constantly. In it, you'll be able to pay 100P to have any move of the type corresponding to the owner being levelled up slightly.

| Pokémon Paradise |
The Pokémon Paradise also has a hub area. This area provides a variety of services for you and also don't change much. Unlike Post Town, however, it will have various Pokémon you have recruited dotted around the area
- Gurdurr Set - After defeating it in a dungeon, Gurdurr will open up its store in the Pokémon Paradise. In this store, you will have the ability to excavate one of the eight extra areas of the Pokémon Paradise, using various materials. You can also use the materials to redecorate your house
- Quagsire's Management Office - Quagsire offers you the opportunity to check the Pokémon you have recruited and to add them to your current team
- Scraggy's Moves - This store will allow you to change your Pokémon's moves. The top option allows for you to relearn various moves your Pokémon could learn through level up while the bottom option will allow you to delete any move the Pokémon knows.
- V-Roulette - After Victini joins the area, it will open the V-Roulette store. In this store, you can bet a various amount of coins (1,000, 2,500, 5,000 or 7,777) to increase your chances of winning. Should you win, you'll be able to change the current V-Wave type.
- Mission Noticeboard - The mission noticeboard will give you a variety of standard missions for you to complete, all involving you going into various dungeons to earn rewards including materials and rare items. It regenerates every time you return from a dungeon/mission
- Special Mission Noticeboard - The noticeboard will give you a variety of special missions for you to complete, including the special Legendary Pokémon missions. It regenerates every time you return from a dungeon/mission
- Azumarill's Bulletin Board - With each noticeboard, you have the ability to send a mission to Azumarill to store for later. This is helpful if your Pokémon are too weak to complete one you want to do. It will also store any missions that you fail.

| Ranking Up |
One of the unique parts about the Pokémon Paradise is the ability to rank up. Instead of your team getting a special rank which is increased, it is instead the Pokémon Paradise which increases in rank. Increasing this rank will give you a variety of items, materials and even give you access to more stores.
| Rank | Paradise Points |
| Normal Rank | 0 |
| Bronze Rank | 50 |
| Silver Rank | 150 |
| Gold Rank | 350 |
| Platinum Rank | 700 |
| Diamond Rank | 1250 |
| Great Rank | 5000 |
| Ultra Rank | 10000 |
| Master Rank | 20000 |
| Royal Rank | 40000 |
| Perfect Rank | 99999 |
When you reach Perfect Rank, you will be able to teach your main Pokémon the special moves of Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Volt Tackle or Draco Meteor, depending upon the Pokémon you
|
|
| Customisation |
The main part of the Pokémon Paradise is an area where you can customise. While you start off with just the house, you have the ability to increase the area thanks to Gurdurr. You start off being able to excavate each individual area adjacent to your home, but this starts expanding on and on until you have filled all nine areas. There are four different types of area you can create, each with four possible stores. However, the amount of areas you run helps determine the maximum amount of Pokémon you can recruit.
| Areas Owned | Pokémon Recruitable |
| 1 | 64 Pokémon |
| 2 | 80 Pokémon |
| 3 | 96 Pokémon |
| 4 | 120 Pokémon |
| 5 | 144 Pokémon |
| 6 | 176 Pokémon |
| 7 | 208 Pokémon |
| 8 | 248 Pokémon |
| 9 | 288 Pokémon |
|
 |
| Mini-Games |
Two of the stores you can create in the Pokémon Paradise provide minigames for you to participate in. These mini-games have you play through in order to obtain various items. These items are usually very rare, with all the evolution items being exclusively obtainable within them. There are no limits to how much you can play them, but it does cost 100P per play
Beartic Hockey
The Beartic Hockey mini-game has you need to utilise both screens. On the bottom screen, various pucks shall appear and you need to use the 3DS's stylus to aim and shoot them towards the hole. The bigger the puck, the bigger the score. As time progresses, you'll get a bonus which sends down even more pucks.
Salvage Treasure
This mini-game has you control a Starmie and collect various treasure chests as it slowly sinks to the bottom. Starmie is controlled using the motion sensing gyroscope on the Nintendo 3DS. Along the way, there will be various water currents that send you in various directions. If you hit a Chinchou however, you will lose a chest. Once at the bottom, you're able to open the chests to receive the items.

| Custom Stores |
As you rank up the area, you get access to a variety of stores. These stores vary from having a Lottery, to allowing you to purchase items or recycling items. Each area can have four stores running at once, and the stores can then be upgraded. To build these stores, and upgrade them, you need to earn materials from completing various missions.
In addition to the stores, you can also open various gardens. These gardens allow you to grow various seeds and berries including Revive Seeds. Finally, there are also dojos for each type. These run in a similar way to the store in Post Town, but increase the level of the moves even further than before.
However, if you have an empty facility, a Drilbur may appear near there and will offer to dig treasure for you, giving you access to a Level 5 dungeon filled with rare items
