Tips

  • Ruby has Latias and Sapphire has Latios here, the opposite of the one that roams Hoenn after the Hall of Fame.
  • The Eon Ticket came from scanning an e-Reader card or from mixing records with someone who had it.
  • Board the S.S. Tidal at Lilycove City harbor with the Eon Ticket in your Bag to sail to the island.
  • Latias or Latios holds a Soul Dew. Save before inspecting the sphere, since you can't return after the battle.
