How to Get Jirachi in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

Jirachi is not available as a wild encounter in this game.

This is an event-exclusive or special distribution.

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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • For the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Ironhead, U Turn, Wish, and Protect 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.
