It has been suggested that this article be moved to Soaring. Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page. |
The contents of this article have been suggested to be split into Sky, Soar/Soaring, and Mirage spot. Please discuss it on the talk page for this article. |
Soaring in the sky (Japanese: 大空 sky) is a location introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. It is only accessible by use of the Eon Flute and summoning LatiosOR or LatiasAS.
Mechanics
Soaring (Japanese: 天空をとぶ Flying in the sky) can first be accessed after receiving the Eon Flute from Steven Stone. Once the Eon Flute is used, LatiasAS or LatiosOR will come to the the player's side and Mega Evolve. This is regardless to whether or not the Pokémon are present in the player's party, are holding their respective Mega Stones, have been released, or have been transferred or traded away.
While soaring, several wild Flying-type Pokémon may be encountered, as well as special locations known as Mirage spots. Players may also freely travel to any previously visited location, much in the same way as flying.
The Pokémon will remain stationary if it is given no direction. Using the Circle Pad will make it move forwards or backwards or turn. Combining the Circle Pad with other buttons allows the player to perform various aerobatic stunts.
Maneuver | Description | Button(s) |
---|---|---|
Pitch upwards | The Pokémon pitches upward, increasing its altitude if it moves forward. | X |
Pitch downwards | The Pokémon pitches downward, decreasing its altitude if it moves forward. | Y |
Speed up | The Pokémon moves a little faster than its normal pace. | Hold B |
Dash | The Pokémon accelerates forward while spinning in an Aileron roll. | ↑ + B |
Somersault | The Pokémon takes an abrupt nosedive, spinning downward in a corkscrew fashion and then righting itself after completing a 360° loop. | ↑ + L |
Loop the loop | The Pokémon pitches upwards, inverting itself and the rider in an arch before nosediving and completing a 360° loop. | ↑ + R |
Brake | The Pokémon pulls back and makes a sudden stop. | ↑ to ↓ |
U-turn | The Pokémon performs an Immelmann turn, pitching upwards and executing a half-loop, with a spin as it levels out, so that it ends up refacing the Hoenn region. | Reaching the map's edge |
Landing
As the player passes over locations that are marked on the Hoenn map, they may press the A button to land in that location. This works in the same way and with the same restrictions as Fly does outside of battle. Mainly, this means that a location must have been visited on the ground before it can be landed at. In a few cases, a certain location must be visited before another can be landed at or flown to.
Mirage spots
Mirage spots (Japanese: マボロシの場所 Phantom location) are a strange phenomenon which occur throughout the Hoenn region. Many are random and spontaneous, while others may only be found when in possession of certain items or Pokémon. These anomalies can manifest themselves in several ways, including: Dimensional Rifts, Storm Clouds, and the appearance of entire islands and other landmasses.
Mysterious portals lie in the heart of many of these spots. If interacted with, a Legendary Pokémon will emerge from the portal, initiating battle with the player.
Once every 24 hours, a daily Mirage spot will appear in Hoenn. The player can also encounter more through StreetPass. At the end of a day, all current Mirage spots will fade away.
Daily Mirage spots
In the daily Mirage spot that naturally appears in the player's game, there will always be a hidden item; if a Mirage spot is received from StreetPass, it will not have a hidden item. Furthermore, while it is possible for a hidden item to regenerate on another day if a Mirage spot was naturally received (so long as the area can be refreshed without leaving the Mirage spot), this willl not happen on a Mirage spot that was received by StreetPass.
On each type of daily Mirage spot, there are several possible items that can be hidden. The item that is present is controlled by a "slot" variable that applies to all daily Mirage spots. The hidden item slots for each daily Mirage spot correspond to the rows shown below.
Slot | Rate | Mirage Caves | Mirage Forests | Mirage Islands | Mirage Mountains | Crescent Isle |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | ~40% | Red Shard | Tiny Mushroom | Pearl | Yellow Shard | Heart Scale |
B | ~20% | Blue Shard | Big Mushroom | Big Pearl | Green Shard | Deep Sea Tooth |
C | ~10% | Razor Claw | ||||
D | ~10% | Deep Sea Tooth | Razor Claw | Razor Fang | Deep Sea Scale | Deep Sea Scale |
E | ~20% | Razor Fang |
So, if one Mirage Mountain has a Green Shard on a given day, so will any other Mirage Mountain, and any Mirage Cave will have a Blue Shard; and at the same time, Crescent Isle may have either a Deep Sea Scale or a Razor Claw. The item that the player receives when they pick up the hidden item is determined solely by the current day's slot; that is, if the player saves before the hidden item at a Mirage Mountain one day when the item is a Green Shard, if they load that save again on the next day, they may pick up a Yellow Shard instead.
