Sky Tower (Japanese: 天空 Sky Tower) is the sixteenth dungeon in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX and the final dungeon to be visited during the game's main storyline. It consists of a total of 34 floors. The dungeon's first section contains 25 floors, and ends in the Sky Tower Summit (Japanese: 天空 最上階) which contains an additional 9 floors. It is home to Rayquaza.

The player and the partner must complete the dungeon in order to challenge Rayquaza, who, after being defeated, will destroy the Meteor, the cause of the constant natural disasters.

Gameplay

Generation III

In the original games, the Teleport Gem is used to reach it the first time but after the credits, due to the Teleport Gem being damaged, the HM Fly is required to enter, which is available after the completion of the main story.

There is no chance of finding a Kecleon Shop or buried items in this dungeon. Monster Houses have a chance of appearing on all floors except floors 1 and 2.

The default weather pattern for floor 7 and Summit's floor 6 is rain; for floors 11, 15, and 18, hail; for floors 12, 21 and Summit's floor 4, cloudy; and for floor 24 and Summit's floor 2, sunny.

Generation VIII

 
The meteor being destroyed above Sky Tower.

Like in the original games, the player reaches Sky Tower with the help of the Teleport Gem. As the Teleport Gem is not damaged in the remakes, Fly is no longer required to re-enter the dungeon. The structure of Sky Tower is kept the same, with Sky Tower Summit starting after floor 25. Unlike the original games, the floor numbers continue from floors 26 to 33.

Monster Houses have a chance of appearing on all floors except floors 1 and 2. A random default weather condition (Hail, Rain, Sandstorm, Sunny, or Clear) occurs on floors 6-7, 12-13, 18-19, and 24-25.

The battle with Rayquaza at the peak of the tower features gusts of winds which hinder the player's team. Strong wind gusts can occur without warning, which scatters teammates across the floor. For other winds, highlighted green tiles will give a warning that a wind will start the next turn. Pokémon remaining on these highlighted green tiles will either be swept away by a strong wind (which deals damage), or be swirled up by a whirlwind (which warps the Pokémon randomly but does not deal damage).
