Mirage Tower

The Mirage Tower is located in the north-east of the Tourmaline Desert.

## Access

### From The Desert

Take the train to the desert. Go slightly right from the station and go up until you reach a new rail, you can check whether the Mirage Tower Indicator Pole appears. If the Pole appears, the Mirage Tower appears.

The left image shows the area when the Mirage Tower doesn't appear. The right image shows the same area when the Mirage Tower does.

If it doesn't appear, touch the Light Shards at the oases until the Mirage Tower appears. There are four oases near the arrival station. The two on the first row are to the left of the station, and the two on the second row are to the right.

Once the Indicator Pole appears, go all the way to the top right corner of the desert where the Mirage Tower is.

### From The Scrapyard

After the player has solved the puzzles on all floors of the **Mirage Tower**, a warp will appear in the house in the bottom left corner of the 1R253 Scrapyard. This warp takes the player to Mirage Tower instantly.

## Puzzle

The puzzle in the tower require the player to move two stones to a spotlight. However, the player can only move one of the stones, with the other stone mirroring its movement. Use the obstacles to manipulate the other stones movement. The tower is completed after solving 6 of the puzzle rooms. The puzzle solutions are as follows.

When you first enter the tower, the back of the room will be comprised of mirror walls, similar to Serra's Gym. Use Rock Smash on every mirror, with the last mirror always being the "correct" one. This will let you access the Tower Basement, which has various Pokémon. Flash is recommended for better navigation. At the end of the basement, you can find a **Mimikyu** and the **Poison Memory**. Mimikyu has the Egg Move Destiny Bond in its moveset.

## Trivia

* According to Taka, the Mirage Tower was created by the Arceus-believing ancestors of Reborn City and was made to serve as a training ground to fight Giratina, who was responsible for many distortions in the city. Climbing the top of the tower was then used as a tradition to serve as a reminder of their victory, with Honedge sitting atop representing the weapon used to defeat Giratina.
