Jirachi Weakness
Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark moves hit Jirachi for super-effective damage. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. With 9 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Jirachi's overall bulk (100/100/100) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.

Jirachi Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Guide
For the Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl meta, At 600 BST, Jirachi is built different. We rank it B-Tier. As a Mythical Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a sweeper. Ironhead with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, watch for Arcanine (Fire), Swampert (Ground), and Misdreavus (Ghost) when using Jirachi. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Dark-type attackers are also a problem. Jirachi has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Serene Grace doubles the chance of moves' extra effects occurring. That's the one you want on Jirachi. It's the only ability Jirachi has.
Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Jirachi is a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a sweeper.
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, run Ironhead, Wish, U Turn, and Drain Punch on Jirachi. Ironhead is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the sweeper role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Jirachi first appeared in Ruby & Sapphire and has been available in 15 titles. Mythical distribution means event-only access in most games, making it one of the harder Pokemon to collect.
