Soaring in Hoenn

Learn how to find and utilize Mirage Spots in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to encounter rare and legendary Pokémon, including detailed locations and conditions.

As you fly over Hoenn in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, you may encounter flocks of bird Pokémon. Colliding with them initiates a battle with a wild bird Pokémon.

While Soaring, you will see reddish sparkles above various areas. Landing on these Mirage Spots allows you to encounter Pokémon not normally native to the Hoenn region. The variety of Pokémon found depends on the Mirage Spot's name and location. Some spots are only available on certain days, while others can be accessed via StreetPass.
