Additionally, Jirachi has a normal pair of ovalish eyes on its face, with small, blue triangular markings underneath. On its head is a large, yellow structure with three points extending outward: one from the top and one on either side. On each point is a teal tag, known as a "wish tag".

While it sleeps, a tough, crystalline shell envelops its body to protect it from enemies. However, it is still capable of fighting while asleep in the shell is not enough. During the short periods when it is awake, Jirachi is said to grant wishes. However, in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', Jirachi cannot create an object that is desired from a wish. Instead, it teleports the desired object to the person that made the wish. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Jirachi will only grant wishes when its true eye is opened. Additionally it can only grant three wishes every a thousand years, which are written on each of its three wish tags. One of Jirachi's wishes can also create artificial Pokémon as seen with the "[[Guile Hideout#Kyogre|Sea Demon]]", a large mass of energy and water that takes the shape of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Kyogre}}. The anime further reveals that Jirachi's awakening is linked to the appearance of the [[Millennium Comet]] and that its third eye has the ability to absorb the energy Jirachi needs for hibernation. It is said that Jirachi's ability to grant wishes also gives it great attack power. As seen when it creates {{m|Doom Desire|a concentrated bundle of light}} to blast its target. Although it is extremely rare, Jirachi can be found in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. | ||

Jirachi (Japanese: ジラーチ Jirachi) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Jirachi is a small, white, humanoid Pokémon. It has short, stubby legs and comparatively longer arms. There are flaps on the underside of its arms, which give the impression of long sleeves. On its belly is a curved seam, which conceals a third, yellow eye with a cyan pupil, known as its "true eye". Additionally, Jirachi has a normal pair of ovalish eyes on its face, with small, blue triangular markings underneath. On its head is a large, yellow structure with three points extending outward: one from the top and one on either side. On each point is a teal tag, known as a "wish tag". A rounded extension hangs from either side of the yellow structure, framing Jirachi's face. Two yellow streamers flow from Jirachi's back, resembling comet tails.
Jirachi hibernates for most of its life, it awakens for seven days every thousand years. It can be also awakened if sung to by a voice of purity. While it sleeps, a tough, crystalline shell envelops its body to protect it from enemies. However, it is still capable of fighting while asleep in the shell is not enough. During the short periods when it is awake, Jirachi is said to grant wishes. However, in Jirachi: Wish Maker, Jirachi cannot create an object that is desired from a wish. Instead, it teleports the desired object to the person that made the wish. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Jirachi will only grant wishes when its true eye is opened.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Jirachi appears as a rare Poké Ball Pokémon in its first appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series. The chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 (the amount of Pokémon in the Generation IV National Pokédex). Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items before flying away. In Jirachi's case, the items are stickers.
Trophy information
A Wish Pokémon. It's said to awaken for seven days once every thousand years, with the ability to grant any wish asked of it. It is truly a Pokémon of which dreams are made. In combat it uses its wish power to attack. Its attack, Doom Desire, which causes light to rain down from the heavens to do tremendous damage, is especially powerful.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Jirachi appears as a trophy.
Trophy information
Since Jirachi is only awake for seven days every one thousand years, it's an even bigger sleeper than Snorlax! It can't just be sleeping the whole time, though. It's probably hard at work deep in the land of dreams, strengthening its ability to grant people's wishes. If it detects danger while asleep, it can fight without even waking up!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Jirachi appears as a Spirit.
Trivia
- In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Team Aqua leader Archie uses Jirachi's power to create a Kyogre monster, whereas in the anime movie Jirachi: Wish Maker, former Team Magma member Butler uses Jirachi's power to create a Groudon monster.
- Jirachi was the first Mythical Pokémon to have a signature move. This trend has continued with every Mythical Pokémon introduced since.
- Jirachi was the first Pokémon to be distributed via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Previously, only the event items needed to obtain Pokémon had been distributed via Wi-Fi.
- Jirachi is the only Generation III Pokémon that cannot be obtained in any of the Hoenn-based games without an event.
- Jirachi is the only pre-Generation IV Legendary or Mythical Pokémon that has not been featured in any of the Ranger games.
- Although Jirachi is gender unknown in the main games, it is referred to as male in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon.
- Jirachi was originally only available as Shiny in Generation III due to a set of bugs, wherein Jirachi obtained via Pokémon Channel or the North American version of the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc were not intended by the developers to be obtainable as shiny, but were possible to obtain as shiny regardless.
- Despite being legitimately obtainable in Generation III, Shiny Jirachi were previously locked out of Generation VI's Wi-Fi features prior to an update, and were also blocked from entering Pokémon Bank until after the 2014 Tanabata Shiny Jirachi event was released in Generation VI; this makes Jirachi the only Pokémon to have undergone this kind of issue.
Origin
Jirachi appears to be based on the concept of "wishing upon a star" - the practice of making a wish while observing meteors in the night sky. Its pointed head is shaped like a literal star, and its Steel-type may be a reference to iron meteorites. The tags of paper on its head resemble 短冊 tanzaku, strips of paper on which wishes are written during the Japanese festival たなばた Tanabata, also known as the Star Festival. The fact that it is awake for only 7 days may be a reference to how the festival always takes place on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. Its thousand-year sleep followed by a short period of consciousness may be a reference to comets, most of which are visible from Earth only once in a lifetime, and the two long streamers attached to its body resemble a comet tail.
Its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes may also be inspired by Arabic myths about the jinn, also known as genies. In some folk tales such as Aladdin, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The eye on Jirachi's belly might be a reference to the third eye which is believed to provide perception beyond ordinary sight fitting its Psychic-type.
Name origin
Jirachi may be derived from желать zhelatʹ (Russian for to wish). It may also involve jinn or 幸 sachi (Japanese for fortune).
