Zowayix Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've looked in several different places, and most of them have many different answers to this question: What causes Mirage Island to appear? All websites I've found say that Mirage Island generates a random number between 0 and 65535, but there are inconsistencies between what this number has to match. I've seen: - It has to match Trainer ID - It has to match Secret ID - It has to match PID - It has to match the first half of PID - It has to match the second half of PID The first two would mean that you have to trade a LOT to get the best chances of finding Mirage Island. The third one doesn't really make sense, since only 1 in 65536 pokemon would be able to activate it. The last two probably make the most sense, but which one is it? I've never found a definite answer to this for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewtwo Ex Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 That is true. You do have to have a Pokemon that matches the everyday generated number. The secret id is not necessary, the first and second half (that means the whole PID) for this i am not sure. I have been to the island. Once only. Knowing that i have more than 1400 minutes of game-play in Hoenn. The chances are quite slim, and nearly impossible. You have a better chance of finding a shiny or two. My tip is to have different ID's of you pokemon, and make every trade in=game and others if you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 omg, i was following 2 guides when i went through emerald and neither of them mentioned this, i guess its hidden to make those berries rare. i might go through it again and try to find this place.

KyoMcFizzle Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I remember finding Mirage island a long time ago on my first try. I was stunned when it diappeared. I used to have a random Gameshark code on my GBA GS that made Mirage Island appear constantly, but then my Ruby, Saphire, and GBA GS got stolen.

Metatron Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Mewtwo EX: I was about to say something similar, but you have me beat. In all my time with the three same titles, I've only had Mirage Island appear once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencat Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I think it's just TID. PID has way too many combinations. No one can see SID, so the fun of it wouldn't be so great. Otherwise, if it isn't, it's a lame deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbyking Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 i heard mirage island randomly chooses a pokemon from the hoenn dex every day and if you have the pokemon it choose in the first slot of your party it appears ive never actually tried this though because i dont play them anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewtwo Ex Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The game generates a code the match you pokemon's. This is as simple as possible to explain. If you need more detailed explanation read the posts above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin19980609 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I was very lucky because I got it on my first try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Fail Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I have never had any luck with finding Mirage Island, and I've tried every trick in the book, and I've played Pokémon Ruby for almost 370 hours (Yes, I know, I play too much, but I've had the game for 5 years nearly), so yeah, you'd have a better chance of finding a shiny.

DeathWatch Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I always thought that this was an nintendo event to activate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkforce002 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 well i guess im very very lucky! i've been to mirage island five times! all on the same game (Sapphire) i have 780 hours on the game!

I one that has around 80 hours more have been there only once when i cheated a pokemon with specific id, secret id and date code change so that it would appear. As it seems, all you needs is luck and a collection of pokemon from different IDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencat Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I had 360 hours in mine for the first year... o.o" Sapphire was one of my favorites, but back to the point... I think it depends on the ID of your Pokemon and played out as the Lottery Game in the series. I've actually gone there legitimately before. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
