The fifth title in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon spin-off series was released originally in Japan on April 18, 2009. It made its way to the rest of the world in the following months. Explorers of Sky is the definitive version of the Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness releases. This is on brand for Nintendo to do, and they even release their other franchises in this manner. The developers see this as the definitive way to experience these titles, and they made sure to include many different improvements and new content. You can read our review here!

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky Premise
Explorers of Sky follows its predecessors by employing a story that follows a human who is transformed into a Pokemon. This title introduced five new playable Pokemon on top of all the starters from the previous game. Explorers of Sky also introduced extra dungeons and even alternate forms for some Pokemon. Other changes added include but are not limited to:
- New post game content.
- The secret Bazaar.
- Job offers become available from bottles that appear on the beach.
- Palkia no longer needs to be recruited to allow the Player and Partner to evolve as in Explorers of Time and Darkness, instead the two must be reunited with Manaphy.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky Cheat Codes
Glitches
Use Items Multiple Times
For this exploit, you’ll need a Pokemon with the “Piercing” status. This can be obtained by using a Pierce Orb or Pierce Band; however, a Pokemon with the Pierce Hurler IQ skill is the most consistent. This Pokemon will not be getting the benefits of their items, and you need to have them be your Team Leader. If they have the Gap Prober IQ skill or any other trait that makes them unable to hit allies, disable it.
Bring that Pokemon, the items you wish to use, and up to 3 Pokemon whose stats you want to boost into a dungeon. Move around so that your party is in a straight line (hallways work best), with your Piercing Pokemon at the front. Then face your allies and throw a desired item at them. Most or all of them should gain the benefits of the item.
This oversight is particularly useful for stat-boosting items (Proteins, Irons, Joy Seeds, Golden Seeds, Life Seeds, etc.). This can also make resource conservation easy since most of your party can benefit from a single use of a healing item.
Unlockables
Extra Dungeons
After completing Chapter 10, you can unlock extra dungeons through different methods. These dungeons have Treasure Chests on the last floor you clear them. Some even have Treasure Chambers that require a key to open and Legendary Pokemon that appear if you have the Secret Slab or Mystery Part. Note: The Spinda’s Juice Bar Cafe activations will happen at random.

Hero/Partner Evolution
If you finish the post-story’s storyline after beating the pre-ending mode, you and your partner can evolve (in Luminous Spring) up to their highest stage.
Hidden Legendary Pokemon
If you have a Secret Slab or Mystery Part in your bag when you go to certain locations in the game, you have a chance at finding certain legendary Pokemon. (Wonder Mail passwords for finding the Secret Slab/Mystery Part are below as well if necessary.) Below, you’ll find the Pokemon and their corresponding locations if you have the necessary item.
Note that some of the Pokemon can only be found on certain versions of Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky. Also, note that the Wonder Mails for Time/Darkness don’t work on Sky, and vice versa, and Sky’s Wonder Mails are region-dependent. In Sky, those Pokemon below you cannot recruit owing to version differences are found via other means, such as challenge missions at Spinda’s Cafe.

Secrets
Special Exclusive Items
For each Pokemon in the game, there are special “exclusive items,” which grant special effects to the holder and the party when placed in the bag while the Pokemon in question is in the party. Many of these can be obtained from Treasure Box appraisals or trading at Croagunk’s shop, but some can only be found in special areas.
Specifically, all of these items have 3-star rarity values, the highest possible, and are tied to specific legendary Pokemon (usually). The items can only be found on specific floors of specific dungeons, further, and if they appear on that floor then you will need a Key to enter the room and obtain the items. Below, you’ll find the Pokemon and the location of the item associated with them.
