How to Find Mirage Island

Mirage Island is the most difficult area to access in "Pokemon: Emerald," "Pokemon: Ruby" and "Pokemon: Sapphire." Mirage Island appears on Route 130 based on a random number generated at the start of each game day. The island only appears if the random number matches the Personality stat for a Pokemon currently in your party. The odds of this occurring are less than 1 in 65,535 for each Pokemon you bring. There is no way to boost the odds of finding the island beyond having a full party of Pokemon.
