Jirachi (ジラーチ, Jiraachi) is a Steel-Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Jirachi is a creamy yellow and white Pokémon with small black eyes. Under its eyes, there are V-shaped markings that are light green. Jirachi's head is yellow and resembles a star, but with only three points. Hanging on those three points are three light green bands that are said to be part of Jirachi's ability to grant wishes. It also has two wavy yellow strings streaming from behind it.
Behavior[]
It is said that it can fulfill a desire to people who really need and will appear when one least expects. It's always sleeping, awake for a week every 1000 years. Though, if possible, if it is captured by a Trainer, it will be awake longer then a week but will still fall asleep if needing to recharge its energy.
Evolution[]
Jirachi does not evolve.
Game Info[]
Not obtainable by normal means, the only way to get a Jirachi is to download it from a bonus disk that was given out along with a reserved copy of Pokémon Colosseum or (more recently) to download it at a Nintendo-sponsored event, such as the Jirachi that was given out at GameStop stores in the US from February to March 2010. It is in a Cherish Ball and came with the move Draco Meteor.

Appearances[]
Anime[]
Max holding Jirachi
Template:Main Jirachi was the title character in Jirachi: Wish Maker where it awakens every 1000 years when the Millennium Comet appears in the night sky. Upon awakening, it became close friends with Max and his friends. Feeling somewhat homesick, Jirachi and its new friends journeyed to its home to put it back to sleep. It also made an appearance in Searching for a Wish! to help grant Gemma's wish for a lush a fertile mountain.
Jirachi is the star of the sixth film where he befriends Max. It is one of the Pokémon that appears briefly in the introduction of the tenth film, The challenge of Darkrai (ES) / The Rise of Darkrai (HA), in a tribute to all Pokémon that have shaped the previous films. Appears rising to the sky.
Jirachi also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade.
- Jirachi (BW134)
- Jirachi (Pikachu, What's This Key?)
Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon[]
In this Pokémon world, where he's referred to as a male, he fills a main role in the game, as the observer and astral carthographist of the Expedition Society, keeping in check the bodies in space to note any anomalies. He's close friends with Celebi and tries to take the player and its partner Pokémon to the rising Tree of Life, near the end of the game.
Trivia[]
- Its signature move is Doom Desire.
- Jirachi has an eye on its stomach. It was used to absorb energy from the Millennium Comet to feed the planet of its energy.
- In the anime, when it is sang to, it will awaken and grant the singer's wish, then resume its 1,000-year sleep.
- In celebration of Pokémon's 20th Anniversary a Jirachi is to be available via mystery gift by connecting to the internet on Pokémon X/Y or Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire from April 1 to 24.
- In Super Smash Bros., Jirachi is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Fly. It leaves behind Stickers, a collectable item in the game, while it flies away.
- However, Jirachi is unable to learn Fly in any form of main game.
- Jirachi is one of the collectable spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Origin[]
Jirachi is based on the idea of wishing upon a star or meteor, with some elements of genies. The paper tags on its head refer to the Japanese holiday Tanabata (also known as the Star Festival), where people write wishes on paper strips called tanzaku and attach them to bamboo plants. The period of time Jirachi is awake may also reference Tanabata, as Jirachi is only awake for seven days and Tanabata takes place on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Its Template:Type typing may be in reference to iron meteors. In keeping with the Abrahamic religion theme several Hoennese Pokémon have, Jirachi may also be based on the Star of Bethlehem.
Etymology[]
Jirachi derives from желать zhelat (Russian for wish), 幸 sachi (wish, happiness, or fortune), and jireh (Hebrew for "provider").
