Jirachi is the 385th Pokémon in the National Pokédex. Jirachi first appeared with the release of the Nintendo games Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire in early 2003.

Jirachi is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon, and has both a unique special ability (Serene Grace, which doubles the attack's after-effects) and a unique special attack (Doom Desire, a set-damage Steel-type move with an Attack power of 120 and an accuracy of 85% that hits the foe 2 turns after it's used).

Jirachi takes the form of a small animal with a star-shaped "hat" upon its primarily white body.

According to the game's story line it is a mythical Pokémon that grants wishes after it wakes up from a deep sleep. One must write the wishes down on paper-like wish tags (an actual item in the Pokémon games but currently unusable as of this date) and place them upon Jirachi's star points. When the creature awakens it has the sole goal of granting the wishes written on the tags. Upon fulfilling them, it goes back to sleep.

Obtaining Jirachi

Currently one can obtain Jirachi in one of several different ways. One can go to a Pokémon Center in New York, Osaka, Tokyo or any of the additional centers in Japan. A special machine transfers a randomly selected pokémon with a 1 in 1000 chance of receiving Jirachi. Recently the machines' use has been restricted to special events - most recently at the New York Pokémon Center.

If players pre-order the upcoming game Pokémon Colosseum on or after, February 9, 2004, they will receive a bonus disk that will then allow players to download Jirachi into their Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire games. By downloading Jirachi in this fashion, players can also fix a glitch in the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire games. Nintendo says that doing this "grants to possessors permanently fertile berry gardens, making it easier to create Pokéblocks".

One can alternatively obtain this pokémon by use of the Gameshark, a game-cheating device: Nintendo discourages this unofficial method. The more "mature" members of the pokémon community also consider this method in poor taste and often do not regard the "sharked" Jirachi as authentic.

Movie Appearance

As it is exceedingly rare in the Pokémon world / fan community, very little is known about it. It is set to "star" in the upcoming 6th Pokémon Movie, Jirachi Wish Maker, where it will wake up from the long sleep the Pokédex definition aludes to; However, contrary to the pokédex definition, wishes are not written on the tags attatched to its head. The movie, in a way, is a race against time, as the Japanese title (Wishing Star of the Seven Nights) may insinuate, since there's only seven nights.

The movie reveals about half-way through that the "line" on Jirachi's belly is actually a third eye that opens on rare ocasions (such as when its granting a very large wish).
