Jirachi (Japanese: ジラーチ Jirachi) is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon.

Jirachi evolves neither to anything, nor from anything.

Jirachi's signature move is Doom Desire.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

A legend states that Jirachi will make true any wish that is written on the notes attached to head when it awakens. If this Pokémon senses danger, it will fight without awakening.

Pokémon Sapphire

Jirachi will awaken from its sleep of a thousand years if you sing to it in a voice of purity. It is said to make true any wish that people desire.

Pokémon Emerald

Jirachi is said to make wishes come true. While it sleeps, a tough crystalline shell envelops the body to protect it from enemies.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

It is said to make any wish come true. It is only awake for only seven days out of a thousand years.

Name origin

Jirachi gets its name from желать zhelatʹ, which is Russian for "to desire".

Its design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of "wishing upon a star", so that your wish come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about genies, or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them.

It is somewhat similar to the Beanstar from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, being awoken when sung to with a voice of purity.
