Background & History

Seven thousand years before the main story, a young girl named Alice wished to the heavens during a Chaotic Pokémon Tide in Clear Stream Forest. Jirachi answered her wish, ended the northern disaster, and helped her establish the Land of Hope. The effort nearly exhausted Jirachi's power, causing an especially deep slumber afterward. Legends placed its resting place within Fallen Sky Mountain. 43 121

Jirachi later recalled first awakening in the Atali Empire roughly ten thousand years ago before eventually arriving in Xia, though much of its early memory is unclear. 208 413

Mark follows Jirachi's telepathic call to Fallen Sky Mountain and frees it from a crystalized Dormant Cocoon. Rather than immediately demand power, Mark first wishes for Jirachi to never need sleep again; Jirachi cannot grant wishes that directly affect itself. Mark instead helps it consider ways to change its circumstances, earning its lasting trust. 115 116 117

After Mark's Awakening Ritual succeeds, Jirachi gains a 95-day waking period and agrees to provide Combat Training for Mark's Pokémon. It subsequently becomes a regular member of Mark's team, though the World Pokémon Alliance initially doubts the public claim due to frequent Legendary Pokémon fraud cases. 125 406 409 413

Following its transformation into a Shiny Jirachi, it uses a Great Wish to awaken another world's Jirachi and free it from its recurring thousand-year sleep. Through the resulting connection, Jirachi develops Wish Star Grand Gathering and helps rescue Jirachi across numerous parallel worlds. 476 477 479 488

Appearance

Jirachi is a small, yellow, star-shaped Mythical Pokémon a little over thirty centimeters tall. Its original form has three blue Wish Tags atop its head and an Eye of Truth concealed beneath an eyelid on its lower abdomen. 115 282

• Wish Tags — Originally light blue; permanently changed to red after becoming Shiny Jirachi. 474 475
• Eye of Truth — A movable abdominal eye containing immense power and capable of being removed from its body. 475 626
• Forest Guardian Form — Green head ribbons, a green cape with silver guardian-like patterns, and Steel/Grass typing. 419 420
• Spectrier fusion — Rides or merges with Spectrier; the fusion manifests starlight and green armor-like ornaments on Spectrier. 341
• Muscular Jirachi — A bulked-up form with black markings and a purple rope around its neck. 759 764

Personality

Jirachi is playful, impatient, curious, and intensely fond of games, sweets, and attention. Its first concern after waking from nearly a thousand years of sleep is having time to play. It particularly enjoys Pokémon Battle, chocolate-based sweets, cola, and collecting or trying unfamiliar snacks. 115 121 286 412

It can sense the presence of greed and ill intent in others, preferring kind people. Jirachi considers Mark safe, likes him more than anyone it has previously met, and trusts his judgment even when it does not fully understand it. 116 121 304

Though often impulsive—especially when frustrated, challenged, or excited—Jirachi can reflect on its actions when corrected. Its desire to become stronger gradually develops into a partially formed Heart of Strength, and it repeatedly pursues its eccentric dream of gaining muscles, extra heads, and extra arms. 411 320 352

Abilities & Skills

Wish Granting

Jirachi's defining power is the ability to fulfill wishes of varying scale.

• Small Wish — Creates items, food, equipment, healing, transportation, or other relatively simple effects. It has created Great Balls, Mega Stones, a Dynamax Band, and medical or recovery effects. 117 142 153 252
• Medium Wish — Requires a recovered Wish Tag and can accomplish more complex effects, such as enhancing Mark's multitasking ability. It can affect Jirachi itself, but cannot reliably locate powerful Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. 305 388
• Great Wish — Normally available after an awakening cycle of roughly one thousand years. It can produce extraordinary effects, including reviving the dead, altering the past, or awakening another Jirachi. 125 476 477
• Wishes cannot grant unlimited wishes, alter Jirachi directly, fulfill excessively ambitious requests, or accomplish impossible feats. A failed wish is still consumed. 116 117

Telekinesis and Mental Communication

Jirachi communicates telepathically, reads thoughts, and uses Telekinesis as a core part of its power.

• Communicates with Mark and his Pokémon through telekinetic channels. 208
• Reads mental images to identify Pokémon and concepts it does not recognize. 317
• Performs precise long-distance Teleportation. 546

Forest Guardian Form

Jirachi's Forest Guardian Form emerged after a meteor shower and a prolonged period of unexplained itching.

• Allows it to stabilize unstable territory by spreading starlight. 421

• Caterpie — Teammate and friend. Jirachi grants Caterpie its first Small Wish and often shares its ambitions and training goals with it. 117 304
• Mew — Good friend and frequent play-fighting partner; their clashes can become destructive despite their friendship. 412 739
• Leafeon — Teasing companion. Jirachi habitually bullies Leafeon but genuinely likes it and is concerned for its well-being. 435
• Spectrier — Fusion partner that grants Jirachi Ghost-type power and Spirit World movement. 337 341
