The '''Eon Ticket e-Card''' is a [[Pokémon Battle e Promotional cards|promotional Pokémon e Card]] which was available at E3 2003, in ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' vol. 173 (November 2003)<ref name=NP173></ref><ref name=NP173Archive></ref> and for a limited time at Toys "R" Us stores. This card transfers the Eon Ticket via [[Mystery Events]] to the Key Items pocket of a US Version of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire]]. The Eon Ticket allows players to travel to [[Southern Island]], which is barren, except for the opportunity to catch either {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}}, the one opposite of the player's version except in {{game|Emerald}}, where the roaming Pokémon is chosen by the player and the one not chosen will be at Southern Island. Since the non-Japanese versions of {{game|Emerald}} had removed the [[Mystery Event]]s feature that was present in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} and {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, the Eon Ticket can only be obtained in Emerald by mixing records with a Ruby or Sapphire game that already has the ticket. However, if the ticket on the Ruby and Sapphire game was obtained itself by record mixing, that particular game can not send the ticket via mixing, or for that matter, at all. The wild Pokémon will always be holding [[Soul Dew]] when it is caught. This is the only place that Soul Dew can be legally obtained in Generation III. Once the island is left, it cannot be returned to even with the ticket still in hand, though only in Ruby and Sapphire; in Emerald, the island remains accessible.
