Strategy Overview

Although the legendary Pokemon with a 100 base stat spread are typically underwhelming in Ubers with only a few boasting a niche set, Jirachi sets itself apart as the only one with significant potential. In a tier filled with Dragon-types, it is easy to see that this comes from Jirachi's fortunate Steel typing. Even among fellow Steel-types, Jirachi stands out due to its respectable bulk and secondary Psychic typing that allows it to also wall a variety of common coverage moves, such as Aura Sphere and rain-weakened Fire Blast. Jirachi's concept grants it access to the excellent support moves Wish and Healing Wish, further reinforcing its separation from the competition. Sadly, wishes always come with limits, and Jirachi's pitiful offensive presence is its twist. Even with the obnoxious Iron Head flinch rate due to Serene Grace, Jirachi must rely on status moves to deal any real damage, leaving it horribly vulnerable to opposing Steel types, especially those carrying Spikes. Unlike other equally crippled walls, Jirachi has all the coverage moves it could wish for, making even a Choice Scarf set a possibility.
