===Distribution===
====Generation III====
Distribution methods varied worldwide. In North America, the Eon Ticket could be transferred to the games through Mystery Events using an e-Reader and the Eon Ticket e-Card. In Europe, it was possible to get the Eon Ticket at promotional events, but it could also be downloaded through Mystery Events from special Nintendo cartridges via Game Link Cable.
A player that received their Eon Ticket from either the e-Card or a promotional event is able to share a limited amount of Eon Tickets with other players via record mixing. However, Eon Tickets received via record mixing cannot be shared further. Record mixing is the only way to obtain the Eon Ticket in Emerald.
A physical copy of the ticket was available through Nintendo Power vol. 173 (November 2003)."Scan it then travel to a secret island in Hoenn! To learn how to use the ticket, read this month's Pokécenter." Nintendo Power. Vol. 173. Nintendo of America Inc. November 2003. pp. 114–115.comiclogfan1846 (December 14, 2021). Nintendo Power Issue 173 ( November 2003). Internet Archive. Retrieved May 6, 2023.
=====Eon Ticket e-Card=====
The Eon Ticket e-Card is a promotional Pokémon e Card which was available at E3 2003, in Nintendo Power vol. 173 (November 2003) 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 or Pokémon Sapphire. The Eon Ticket allows players to travel to Southern Island, which is barren, except for the opportunity to catch either or , the one opposite of the player's version except in , 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 had removed the Mystery Events feature that was present in and , 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.
=====Electronic Game Show Giveaway=====
