Pokémon world locations

Mirage Island (Japanese: まぼろしじま Phantom Island) is a hard-to-reach location in Hoenn.

In the games

Mirage Island is found on Route 130 in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. However, it can only be visited under highly rare circumstances. Every day, a random number between 0 and 65535 is generated by the game. If this number matches the personality value of any of the Pokémon in the party, Mirage Island will appear in the game. For comparison, managing to get to Mirage Island is almost as difficult as winning the lucky number show. For this reason, many people have been convinced that Mirage Island does not exist.

A man in Pacifidlog Town will tell the player whether or not he can see Mirage Island each and every day.

The island is inhabited by Wynaut which range from level 5 to level 50. It also bears a tree where Liechi Berries can be picked. These are the best berries for Pokéblocks, and will produce Gold Pokéblocks.

Mirage Island in the anime

In the anime

In the episode Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?, the group landed on Mirage Island after Team Rocket's submarine exploded. May and Drew were stuck together and both end up nearly drowning before being saved by the Wynaut.

While the island does appear on maps, the whirlpools around it make it almost impossible to get to or from the island.

In the Pokémon Special manga

Wally rescues the man searching for Mirage Island on Pacifidlog Island from being washed away from Kyogre's storm.

Ruby and Sapphire later train on the island with Juan, Tate, and Liza. Ruby and Sapphire meet up with Plusle and Minun for the second time and use them to practice double battles with Tate and Lize. Juan explains that the island's time speeds up and slows down every day. When the time on the island goes at normal speed, you can get on or off the island, so Juan carries a sand-dial for this reason.
