Scorching Desert (Japanese: カエン砂漠 Blazing Desert) is a playable dungeon the player goes through in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. It has 10 floors and no boss. This dungeon is accessible after completing the Holehills dungeon. After the main storyline, this dungeon can be used to enter Glacier Palace Mirage at a high mysteriosity level. This dungeon is relatively short compared to the previous dungeons, but it features prominent Sandstorms. When the player visits floors seven and ten during a job from from the request board, they can access a detour that requires a Water-type Pokémon to pass through. Sparkling Floor tiles and Gold Floor tiles are unusually common in this dungeon.
