'''Sunburst Island''' (Japanese: '''ポンカン島''' ''Ponkan Island'') is located in the southwestern region of the [[Orange Archipelago]].

Sunburst is known for its high-quality crystal glass goods produced by the many glass makers, like {{OBP|Mateo|EP087}}, who call the island home. People come from around the {{pkmn|world}} to see them. The distinctive blue crystal is locally sourced from the island's caves, and is typically blown and sculpted into shape.

The main island is connected to a smaller island with crystal caves by a sandbar, but the path is only accessible at low tide.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived on Sunburst in ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]'' after coming across a message in a bottle. The sender, a local girl called [[Marissa]] hoped someone would assist her in finding the legendary [[Crystal Onix]] to inspire her older brother Mateo, who was struggling to live up to his own expectations. With the help of [[Tracey's Marill]] the group found the crystal caves and the Crystal Onix. Mateo realized that its glass skin gave it a special resistance to {{type|Water}} attacks and he would have to use a different type of attack to weaken it so he used his {{p|Charmeleon}} and attacked it with {{m|Fire Spin}}. It seemed to have a weakness to {{type|Fire}} attacks, unlike other Onix. Mateo was just about to capture it when he realized that he didn't need to. Just battling it gave him the inspiration he needed to create glass Pokémon sculptures, as it did his grandfather.
