Mirage Island Guide

[Houndstone]

 

 

Hello and welcome, Trainers! This guide will teach you everything you need to know about Mirage Island. Lets HM08 Dive right in!

 

Accessing Mirage Island:

 

 

The first step in accessing Mirage Island is in Pacifidlog Town in the Hoenn Region. Old Man Jerry can be found at the north east of the town, where he will be searching for the illusive island. Speak to him and...

 

 

 

It appears the island isn't visible today, but don't worry! On your first attempt, the odds of the island appearing are 1/16, but each day you return and speak with Old Man Jerry again, you will have a higher chance to see Mirage Island (2nd attempt 1/15, 3rd attempt 1/14, and so on, until the 16th attempt which will be 1/1 or 100%). If you are lucky enough for the island to appear, you will have 24 hours of access to the island, during which you may leave and return as you please. Once this 24 hour period ends, the island will disappear and you will be teleported back to Pacifidlog Pokecenter if you are still on Mirage Island.

 

 

 

If you own a Mysterious Ticket from completing a World Quest, you will be able to exchange this for 72 hours of access to the island by speaking with Old Man Jerry again after his daily search. Old Man Jerry will then leave Pacifidlog Town for the next 72 hours (using your Mysterious Ticket for a well-deserved vacation to Birth Island).

 

Once the island is visible to the player, Route 131 to the east of Pacifidlog Town will be replaced by Route 131 B. Surfing north on this route will take you to Mirage Island.

 

  

 

 

The Fun Part:

 

Mirage Island is home to a bunch of very rare Pokemon, some of which can only be encountered here. Every Fossil Pokemon can be encountered on the island at any time of day, making it a great place to hunt for these Pokemon. Mirage Island is divided into 5 areas. Lets take a look at which Pokemon are available here and where they can be found.

An Extraordinary Encounter:

 

 

Each time you visit Mirage Island. you will be able to battle and catch this Lycanroc-Dusk, which is currently the only way of obtaining this special Pokemon. This Lycanroc is located at Mirage Island Summit's most north-westerly point. It will be Level 50 and have the Tough Claws ability, which is exclusive to Dusk form. Only one Lycanroc will spawn if a Mysterious Ticket is used to gain access the island, not one per 24 hours.
