| *[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Dusknoir plays a major role in the {{mdc|Grovyle|2}} special episode. Returning to the future with Grovyle, Dusknoir awakens in pain from his injuries from the past. Dusknoir tries to avenge himself but can't due to his wounds. At the end of the first dungeon, {{p|Sableye}} appear and, to Dusknoir's surprise, they start attacking him as well. Dusknoir is surprised and is determined to find out the reason behind it. After a bit of hesitation, Grovyle agrees to join Dusknoir on its quest to find [[Primal Dialga]] since he had decided to go confront Dialga himself anyway. Once they arrive at [[Temporal Tower]], they find that it is empty. Dusknoir reveals that Primal Dialga must have realized that the past is going to be changed, and is attempting to stop it by freezing the Passage of Time. Primal Dialga has thus gone off to chase down {{mdc|Celebi|2}}, and so Grovyle and Dusknoir head off to find and protect Celebi. Sableye state that Dialga has found another henchman to replace Dusknoir, and it is this henchman's command that Dusknoir be eradicated. As the duo carry on with their quest, they begin to develop some sort of bond. They find that Celebi is no longer in the forest where she resides, and after forcing the words out of a Sableye again, they find that it has fled to an ice mountain. There, the two continue exploring the dungeons, and at the end of one, Dusknoir saves Grovyle from a falling ice boulder. Grovyle tended to Dusknoir's wounds, and that night, the two had a deep conversation. Dusknoir could never understand why Grovyle would give up his life to change the past, but Grovyle tells him that a life with a short moment of glory is better than living an empty life, and although he will disappear, at least he would have left his mark in the world and made it a better one. The two resume their journey, and at the end of the Ice Mountain dungeon, they finally find Celebi, but it is being captured by {{p|Spiritomb}}. The ice pillars here give off sparks of electricity, and when Grovyle tries to rescue Celebi, it steps on the point where the electric signals merge, and is trapped by a powerful electric field. At this point, the Sableye appear, and Dusknoir finally reveals that he had been lying to Grovyle all along. There was no new henchman, and he was just putting up a show with the Sableye to trick Grovyle. Dusknoir speaks of his plan to take over the body of Grovyle, so that he can use his identity, return to the past and mess things up again. But before Grovyle is about to go down, it speaks of its trust in Dusknoir, that certain moments in their adventures couldn't have been a total lie, and is sure that Dusknoir did sincerely connect with him at some point. At the last critical moment, Dusknoir saves Groyvle from the electric field, and Spiritomb flees. However, Primal Dialga appears, and starts to attack Dusknoir for betrayal. Effects from the changed past start to take effect, and winds are starting to blow. Dialga leaves to head to the Passage of Time, and Dusknoir teams up with Celebi and Grovyle on this last adventure. Finding Dialga, they defeat him, and everyone begins to glow. Time begins to flow again in the future, and Primal Dialga vanishes. Dusknoir asks Grovyle if he has made his life shine, and Grovyle assures him that he has. With that, Dusknoir feels content and vanishes, along with the others, and time flows once again. Later, Dusknoir finds himself, Grovyle and Celebi still at the Passage of Time, and is surprised that no one vanished. Dialga, now returned to its normal state, remarks that they were revived by a being on an even higher tier than itself, implied to be {{p|Arceus}}, and the characters live peacefully in the future. | | *[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]: Once again, Dusknoir is the main antagonist.
