Tips
- Mirage Island only appears on days when the game's daily random value matches part of the personality value of a Pokémon in your party, so carrying different Pokémon can change your luck.
- When the island is present, every grass encounter on it is a Wynaut (100%), at levels anywhere from 5 to 50.
- Pick the Liechi Berry from the island's berry tree; it is the only berry tree on the route.
- Without the island, the route offers the usual Tentacool, Wingull and Pelipper by Surfing and Sharpedo by Super Rod.
- Three swimmers patrol the route; Rodney's Gyarados is the strongest at Lv34.
