Pitch-Black Abyss (PBA) was a dungeon located in the northern part of Exbel by Mt. Skylift. It was the only dungeon that temporarily sets your team to level 100. Pokémon here could only be recruited by gathering and hatching eggs. No experience will be gained, due to the fact that you are already level 100. Weather is always clear but can be sunny due to enemy Ninetales' Drought.

Pitch-Black Abyss was considered too buggy of a dungeon by the staff team, and closed on October 15th 2018. A Xatu stood in front of the entrance in the present, blocking players from entering, though the location was eventually removed entirely.

Pitch-Black Abyss Maze

An example of one of the randomly generated maze rooms

Pitch-Black Abyss is a unique dungeon that only has one floor, but the player goes through seemingly random rooms. There is a room with forks for every direction and number, along with a large room that always has a random maze, making there a total of 16 different randomized rooms a player can encounter in Pitch-Black Abyss. Rooms always look different, even if you went the direction you came, unless you enter a maze room or the center room. The player traverses this maze-like dungeon until they find the "center" of Pitch-Black Abyss, a room with four warps that leads to the boss. Pitch-Black Abyss includes darkness that changes with every room (excluding the starting room and center, which have no darkness), which can go to even the deepest possible darkness.

Pitch-Black Abyss Trapped

Room trapping

In Pitch-Black Abyss, the player can enter a room that has doors on all exits. This is called room trapping and it prevents escape. The only way to unlock the doors is to defeat all the Pokémon in the room or use a Pitch-Black Key Pitch-Black Key, which is found in the dungeon randomly. Additionally, there's an exclusive Orb found here called the Pathfinder Orb Pathfinder Orb. When the player uses it, it tells you the direction of the center.

Boss

Pitch-Black Pit

When the player enters the Pitch-Black Pit, Darkrai appears and congratulates them. It finds the player weak and so it tests their strength by putting them against a battle with three Pokémon: Xatu, Ninetales, and Drapion.

Dialogue:

Before fighting
  • Darkrai: Well, well... You made it this far.
  • Darkrai: Congratulations.
  • Darkrai: However, seeing you in person, you look pretty weak...
  • Darkrai: I'll just let my minions handle this one.
  • Darkrai: Until we meet again!
  • Xatu: You... must be the one Master called me for...
  • Xatu: I see, in your past... your trials getting here...
  • Xatu: And, in your future... your doom!
After defeating
  • Xatu: You... How... How could you be so strong!?!
  • Darkrai: So you defeated Xatu... You're stronger than you appear.
  • Darkrai: If you wish to fight me, though... Find me beyond the hidden entrance to Pitch-Black Abyss.
  • Darkrai: Until we meet again!

Pokémon

The Pokémon in Pitch-Black Abyss all spawn at levels 50-80, besides Beedrill who spawns at level 10. The species here always have the same moves, excluding Beedrill and Noctowl.

Dungeon Objective

The objective of this dungeon is to get to the center, defeat the boss and exit with all your items intact. To get to the middle of the dungeon you are forced to go through maps that may look exactly that same as the one before. Though there is an item that can help you called Pathfinder Orb that will find the location of the middle of the dungeon and tell in you cardinal direction (ex: Northwest).

Restrictions

  • The level of the team is set to 100.
  • The player can only bring in their leader Pokémon.
  • Your inventory must be empty.
  • No experience is gained.

Tips

  • Beedrill can bring you down to near death if it has Endeavor due to being level 10.
  • Use a Pokémon that has Rest, or a move like Refresh as well.
  • Avoid fighting enemies unless necessary, to save PP for when you really need it.

Trivia

  • Pitch-Black Abyss was created by DarkMazer.
    • Darkrai is supposed to represent him.
  • Previously, Pitch-Black Abyss was the only year-round dungeon to have any obtainable starters (Natu) until July 2014, when Tanren Mines came out with Hippopotas.
  • Pitch-Black Abyss is special for not being made through the dungeon editor and instead mainly through scripting.
  • Even if there's weather, it's not shown visually because Pitch-Black Abyss rooms are inside maps.
