How to Get Jirachi in FireRed & LeafGreen
Jirachi cannot be caught in the wild in FireRed & LeafGreen, but you can still get it via these paths:
Pokemon HOME · Switch Rerelease
Playing the Switch version of FireRed & LeafGreen? Pokemon HOME compatibility is post-launch but deposit-only by design (FRLG → HOME). Inbound HOME transfer of Jirachi into FRLG is not possible — an original GBA cartridge with a Link Cable is the only inbound route.
Jirachi Weakness
Fire and Ground moves hit Jirachi for super-effective damage. The upside? Poison-type moves can't touch it at all. With 8 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.

| 0.25x (Resist) | Psychic |
| 0x (Immune) | Poison |
