Card text

Wishing Star ほしのねがい

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Jirachi is your Active Pokémon, you may look at the top 5 cards of your deck, choose 1 of them, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. Jirachi and your other Active Pokémon, if any, are now Asleep. This Power can't be used if Jirachi is affected by a Special Condition.

Metallic Blow メタルブロー 20+

If the Defending Pokémon has any Poké-Bodies, this attack does 20 damage plus 30 more damage.

Trivia

Origin

Wishing Star (specifically, its effect of making Jirachi Asleep) may be a reference to its Pokédex entries from the Pokémon games, which state that Jirachi grants wishes for a brief period of an arriving comet every 1,000 years, after which it goes back into a deep sleep.
