Jirachi Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
For the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Ironhead, U Turn, Healing Wish, and Body Slam 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.
