'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン不思議のダンジョン 空の探検隊''' ''Pokémon Fushigi no Dungeon Sora no Tankentai'') is a game developed by [[Chunsoft]], and is a sister game to {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}. The game was first announced in [[CoroCoro]], which released the first details in January 2009. It was officially released in Japan on April 18, 2009 and in North America on October 12th, 2009.

==New features==
*Players can now play as four new [[starter Pokémon]]: {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, <!--Not Eevee; Eevee was playable in MD1--> {{p|Riolu}}, and {{p|Shinx}}. {{p|Munchlax}} and {{p|Meowth}} are no longer playable, and {{p|Eevee}} returns from {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}. Moreover, every playable Pokémon, plus Meowth and Munchlax, are now available as partners.
**Starter and partner Pokémon now come along with an [[egg move]].
*Players can now play the music used in the game with the '''[[Sky Jukebox]]'''.
*There is a new place called '''[[Spinda's Café]]''' where the following can be found:
**'''Spinda's Juice Bar''' grants access to the '''Unexplored Land''', and it also allows players to make their own food.
**'''Recycle Shop''' allows players to exchange excess items for other items. The more items exchanged, the better the items available will be. Players may also trade items for Prize Tickets (more kinds of tickets can be unlocked by team's rank, for example Silver Tickets are only available to teams in the Silver rank). Prize tickets can be used in a lottery, where you get to chose from three colors for the drawing (red, blue, and yellow). You can sometimes get rare items this way.
*The player's team recruits can now be found in Spinda's Café.
* Job requests can also be found here, and can be accepted or rejected by talking to the client on the right of the exit.
* Dungeons that were previously only attainable through job requests can also be found in Spinda's Juice Bar and the Recycle Shop.
* There is a new location called the '''Secret Bazaar''' which is found randomly in dungeons. It is run by {{p|Kirlia}}. The bazaar has several stalls found inside.
**Mime Jr.'s stall restores the team's Health Points (HP), Power Points (PP), and fill the belly for 100 [[Poké]].
**Swalot's ''Grab Bag Shop'' gives players Grab Bags for 100 [[Poké]]. They may hold useful items inside them.
**Lickilicky's will clean the player's items in their inventory for 100 [[Poké]].
**Shedinja's gives players a chance to escape the dungeon sooner for 100 [[Poké]].
*Players can find a statue of {{p|Arceus}} in a new dungeon called '''[[Destiny Tower]]'''. The story here involves a new item called the '''Space Globe'''.
*Players only lose half of their money when defeated in a dungeon, instead of all of it.
*Using DS Download Play, the player can send their friends a demo of the game in the [[Hidden Shopkeeper Village]].
*The {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Luxio}} tribe that was the boss of [[Amp Plains]] has been replaced by the {{p|Manectric}} and {{p|Electrike}} tribe. This is possibly due to one of the starter and partner choices in this game being {{p|Shinx}}.
*{{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are no longer aquired with the [[Mystery Part and Secret Slab]] or in [[Final Maze]], and are now in three new dungeons called '''[[Southeastern Islands]]''', '''[[Inferno Cave]]''', and '''[[Treacherous Waters]]'''. These dungeons are unlocked through random challenges in Spinda's Cafe. However, these challenges cannot be taken until the player's team has reached the Master Rank. The same applies for {{p|Mewtwo}}, but it can be fought in [[Sky Stairway]] instead.
*Occasionally bottles containing job requests will wash up along the beach. Upon finding a bottle the player has the option to take or reject the request. Rejected jobs remain on the beach until taken.
*Some of the items you will find in a dungeon might not be what you think they are. These items are called lookalike items. For example, an oran berry you pick up might be called an or"e"n berry. it doesn't restore health, it knocks the health down. keep your eyes open.

===Special episodes===
During the course of the game, players can engage in various scenarios that expand upon the story of some of the different characters.
