The Cipher Key Lair (Japanese: シャドーの秘密工場 Shadow Secret Factory) is a location in Pokémon XD.

The Cipher Key Lair is a factory used by Cipher to produce Shadow Pokémon. The machinery in the factory is able to continuously produce Shadow Pokémon at a faster rate than the old method used in Pokémon Colosseum. It is led by Cipher Admin Gorigan.

The Cipher Key Lair is a large pyramid-shaped building surrounded by a lake of purple-tinted water. A long concrete path with a large circular concrete platform connects from the entrance of the Lair to the mainland. Inside the Lair, some electronic doors will only open if a crate is moved onto a certain pressure plate. There are also some offices for scientific studies and office management. Gorigan's office is on the top floor.
