The island is inhabited by {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Wynaut}}, which range from [[level]] 5 to level 50. Most notably, the island also bears a tree where the one and only [[Liechi Berry]] in the game can be picked. This is the best Berry for [[Pokéblock]]s, and will produce Gold Pokéblocks. It can also be used as a [[held item]] in {{pkmn|battle}}s, where it will increase a Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} in a pinch.

Every day, a random number between 0 and 65535 is generated by the game. If this number matches the last two bytes of the [[personality value]] of any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{player}}'s party, then Mirage Island will appear. (Consequently, Mirage Island can be made to disappear and reappear for that day by removing and putting back the matching Pokémon in the party, and Mirage Island will disappear at the end of the day barring the unlikely outcome of two matching numbers being generated in a row.) This makes Mirage Island's appearance even rarer than encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]], although the probability increases with the number of Pokémon the player has. The odds of a single Pokémon activating Mirage Island is 1/65536; this chance is increased to approximately 1/10923 if the player has a full party.

An old man in the northeastern hut in [[Pacifidlog Town]] will tell the player whether or not he can see Mirage Island, allowing the player to check if they have a matching Pokémon without having to leave the town. Since Mirage Island's number does not change throughout a given day, it is possible for the {{player}} to freely move Pokémon between the [[Pokémon Storage System|boxes]] and the [[party]] while attempting to check if any Pokémon in the party matches the Mirage Island number.
