The Hidden Land (Japanese: まぼろしのだいち Phantom Land) is a Dungeon in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness. The Hidden Land has 15 floors, and the Hidden Highland has 8. The Hidden Land was passed down in oral legends for a long time, but nobody had ever found it. It is an area located in a gap in time, or between the a split of a second, as Lapras put it. It was hidden to prevent anything happening to Temporal Tower, home to Dialga, controller of time. If Temporal Tower started to collapse, time itself would stop, and the planet would be paralyzed, in a shroud of darkness. That is, if the flow of time was disrupted. The only key to entering this land is the partner's Relic Fragment.

When Torkoal, the town elder, is asked about the Hidden Land at the Hot Spring, he mentions that one needs "proof" to enter it but forgets. He comes the next day and tells the guild that the proof is of a strange certain marking. The player remembers that his/her parners's Relic Fragment has a strange pattern on it, and tells will tell him/her to show it to Torkoal. It being the one on the Relic Fragment, he is astonished. When the fragment is brought to a larger marking in Brine Cave, the two react and a light shines from the large marking, summoning Lapras, who will ferry the player and partner to the Hidden Land. At the end of the Hidden Land is the Old Ruins, where the Rainbow Stoneship lies, as well as Dusknoir, who ambushes the party with his Sableye.

No Pokémon, excluding Grovyle, the hero, the hero's partner and Lapras, can enter the Hidden Land. Ironically, this means that if the player recruits Dialga, it won't be able to go back to Temporal Tower

The floating island explored during the player and partner's visit to the future appears to be the future version of the Hidden Land, due to the Temporal Tower being there and the two landmasses having the exact same shape. Presumably, Dialga's maniacal behavior caused the Hidden Land, to become visible to all.

The weather often becomes Hail or Sunny.
