Location of Murcott Island in the Orange Islands

Murcott Island (Japanese: マーコット島 Murcott Island) is an island in the Orange Archipelago. It is famous for being home to many rare Bug Pokémon, leading some to compare it to a Safari Zone. On the island a Scyther was attacked and badly injured by its own swarm. Because of this Tracey was forced to catch it, the only Pokémon he was ever seen catching in the anime. The majority of Murcott Island is covered in dense forest, and a lake is also present. A fairly large town with tall and grand buildings exists some distance away from the beachfront.
