*This is by no way a simple question, or else I would have found an answer to this within the last 2 hours
We all know what it is. Talk to the old man with a Pokemon, and it'll be there, or it won't be there. However, the questionable thing is, WHAT determines a Pokemon being "mirage compatible?"
The funny thing is, there's 3 different versions in total, regarding how Mirage Island works. I also stated one of the source regarding the information.
Method A: A random Pokemon ID number is chosen every day, and any Pokemon with the identical ID number will be a mirage Pokemon (serebii.net, mirage Pokemon page)
Method B: It is related to a certain combination of a hidden number, Individual Values. (APCC)
Method C: It is related to the gender break point. Every Pokemon (including the legendaries and genderless) has a certain number assigned. Depending on the species, certain numbers will mean a male, and certain numbers will mean a female. However, in between the 256 numbers, there will be a neutral zone of "equilvalent gender." This Pokemon is the mirage Pokemon. Since every species have a different gender ratio, the gender equilvalent number varies from species to species. (But then again, what's the gender for the equilvalent gender Pokemon then?). This is from 2 faqs in gamefaq.
Method D: Same as above, except that the value is always 0, regardless of what species the Pokemon is. This means that the ratio is the same regardless of species unlike the Method C. Strangely, this is ALSO from Serebii.net. Well so much for them double checking if they have the right info. The same site can say 2 completely different things. Fun fun fun...
So... does anyone know actually WHICH saying is the correct saying? The most trustworthy site in the world, pokefor.tk, sadly doesn't have any info on this...
PS: And if you claim to know, you better be able to support yourself, not just "I think it's D." or "I think it's method ___ because this certain site said so."
