Jirachi possesses the attributes of a Steel/Psychic-type Pokmon, and has both a unique special ability (Serene Grace, which doubles the attack's after-effects) and a unique special attack (Doom Desire, a set-damage Steel-type move with an Attack power of 120 and an accuracy of 85% that hits a foe two turns after use). Jirachi takes the form of a small animal with a star-shaped "hat" upon its primarily white body. According to the game's story-line, Jirachi,a mythical Pokmon, grants wishes after it wakes up from a deep sleep. One must write the wishes down on paper-like wish tags (an actual item in the Pokmon games but currently unusable as of this date) and place them upon Jirachi's star points. When the creature awakens it has the sole goal of granting the wishes written on the tags. Upon fulfilling them, it goes back to sleep. Obtaining Jirachi Currently one can obtain Jirachi in one of several different ways. One can go to a Pokmon Center in New York City, Osaka, Tokyo or any of the additional centers in Japan. A special machine transfers a randomly selected Pokmon with a 1 in 1000 chance of receiving Jirachi. Recently the Pokmon Centers have restricted use of the machines to special events - most recently at the New York Pokmon Center. If players had pre-ordered the game Pokmon Colosseum by February 9, 2004, they received a bonus disk that then allowed them to download Jirachi into their Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire games. By downloading Jirachi in this fashion, players can also fix a glitch in the Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire games. Nintendo says that doing this "grants to possessors permanently fertile berry gardens, making it easier to create Pokblocks". In Europe and Australia, Jirachi comes included with Pokmon Channel, and players can download it to the game after completing Channel. The Berry Fix mentioned above also comes included here. One can alternatively obtain this Pokmon by use of a Gameshark or Action Replay, game-cheating devices. Nintendo discourages this unofficial method. The more "mature" members of the Pokmon community also consider this method in poor taste and often do not regard the "sharked" Jirachi as authentic. Movie appearance As Jirachi occurs exceedingly rarely in the Pokmon world / fan community, even devotees know very little about it. It has "starred" in the 6th Pokmon Movie, Jirachi Wish Maker, where it will wake up from the long sleep to which the Pokdex definition alludes. However, contrary to the Pokdex definition, one does not write wishes on the tags attached to its head. The movie, in a way, represents a race against time, as the Japanese title (Wishing Star of the Seven Nights) may insinuate, since there's only seven nights. The movie reveals about half-way through that the "line" on Jirachi's belly actually opens as a True eye on rare occasions (such as absorbing the 1000 year comet).
