Pokémon world locations

A Mirage Cave (Japanese: マボロシ洞窟 Phantom Cave) is a location in Hoenn located on an island in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. It is only accessible by soaring on Latias^AS or Latios^OR. A Mirage Cave can appear daily, or it may not appear, being replaced with a Mirage Island, Mirage Forest, or Mirage Mountain. More Mirage spots can appear via StreetPass.

If a Mirage Cave is received via StreetPass, it will not have a hidden item.

In the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version, several of the Mirage Caves can also be visited during play. The cave by Fallarbor Town is the location of the demo's first adventure, the cave by Route 115 is where the player battles Experts on every fifth mission, and the cave by Route 124 is where the secret Team Aqua/Team Magma mission takes place.
