Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness/Chapter 19: To the Hidden Land

The Hidden Land is full of very powerful Pokémon that can really sting you from the get-go. Dragonite, Garchomp, Rampardos, and Bastiodon will be some of the Pokémon you face. Use your best move for Dragonite and Garchomp. If you have to, use Grovyle for shield.

There are two parts of this place. After you get through both places, you will face Dusknoir and five Sableye. Use moves that hit everything, like Discharge. Make sure you have Reviver Seeds.

All you must do in this chapter is go through the dungeon you start out in, Hidden Land. This Chapter is probably going to be a major downer, though. Just keep going and find out.


 * Hidden Land-Hidden Highland(2nd part)
 * Difficulty: 9
 * Boss: Dusknoir + 6 Sableye
 * Floors: 15F + Interior 8F + Final
 * Notes: Grovyle accompanies you.

This dungeon may aggravate you. Traverse the floors, letting Grovyle take care of what he can. After 15 floors, you'll see a save point room.

This is the aggravating part. Just hope you get lucky as you go around, and if you have Smokescreen, use it. After 8 floors, you'll meet at a final confrontation with Dusknoir.

As your team examines the ruins, Dusknoir will attempt to drag you into a Dimensional Portal, but he'll have to take you out, first.


 * Dusknoir
 * HP: 500+
 * Ghost
 * Average Damage: 20+


 * Sableye
 * HP: 190
 * Dark/ Ghost
 * Average Damage: 15+

Long Range attacks like Flamethrower will work wonders in this battle. Because of their types, Sableye have no weakness so just use anything but Normal, Fighting, and Psychic moves. If you have a Character Range attack like Lava Plume or Thunderbolt, use that when they close in. Just keep attacking them all and they'll be finished.

The Sableyes will go into the Dimensional Portal, and leave Dusknoir behind. As Pikachu (or your partner) continues examining the ruins, you will start talking with Grovyle. But as you're doing that, Dusknoir gets back up and tries to attack you, but Grovyle takes it for you. Then Grovyle will get up and try pushing Dusknoir into the Dimensional Portal with himself. He'll give a last goodbye, and he'll hurl himself in with Dusknoir. After a little more, the Final Chapter will begin.
