Treasure Box

A treasure box is an item in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. It can contain different kinds of items that range from common food items to rare trade items that can be swapped in the Croagunk Swap Shop. It has to be appraised first at the Xatu Appraisal located at Treasure Town before one can obtain the hidden item within the box. In certain dungeons, such as Zero Island North, Zero Island East, Zero Island West, and Zero Island South, there will be locked sections in which one must use a key to obtain the box. There may also be water blocking the box. These boxes will hold items such as legendary specialized items and wonder gummis. All boxes, with the exception of end-of-the-dungeon deluxe boxes and locked room boxes have random contents, though certain items will be unlocked as the game continues.
