This Jirachi is a steel/psychic-type Pokémon that plays a pivotal role in the movie Jirachi: Wish Maker. Jirachi is a legendary Pokémon who awakens once every thousand years for a period of seven days, coinciding with the appearance of the Millennium Comet. It requires a human friend in order to fully awaken from its hibernation.
Biography[]
Jirachi is discovered by Butler.
Jirachi was found by Butler and Diane deep beneath Forina, in which it was held within the form of a purplish crystal. Butler aimed to use its limitless power in order to create a Groudon through artificial means, which he failed to do for Team Magma. Later, Jirachi telepathically reached out to Max during Butler's magic show.
Jirachi's true eye opens to absorb the Millennium Comet.
When Jirachi emerged from its cocoon, Butler attempted to use its powers to absorb the Comet's energy. Before the process could be completed, Ash and his friends intervened and fled with Diane to Forina. Butler follows them to Forina, and succeeds in creating an artificial Groudon by capturing Jirachi. However, the Groudon begins consuming all of the wildlife in Forina, and with Butler's help, Jirachi succeeds in defeating the creature.
After this, Jirachi returns to its resting place, bidding farewell to Max, Ash Ketchum, May and Brock.
