Is it Possible to Find a Shiny Jirachi in Pokémon Go?

In the world of Pokémon Go, Jirachi is as cute as they come. This Pokémon loves to sleep but can still sense danger and battle in its dreams.

Legend has it, when Jirachi wakes up, it can grant any wish written on the notes on its head. You can only get this mythical Pokémon through special tasks. It first appeared during the Thousand-Year Slumber event in 2019. Now, with the Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Global, Jirachi is making a return. This ties back to its origins in the Hoenn region.

Is Shiny Jirachi Available?

Since its 2019 debut in Pokémon Go, Jirachi lacked a Shiny version. But not anymore! The upcoming Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn event introduces Shiny Jirachi. Fans have been waiting, and now it’s finally happening.

Shiny Jirachi Announcement
“#MythicalWishes can come true! Look out for Shiny Jirachi in a special Masterwork Research story. Tickets go on sale Feb 20 in the game!” tweeted Pokémon Go.

What’s So Special About Shiny Jirachi?

A normal Jirachi dazzles with teal notes and a slightly blue skin. Shiny Jirachi, however, sports red notes and a reddish skin tone. Its golden star and comet tails shine just as brightly.

How To Get Shiny Jirachi

To meet Shiny Jirachi, buy a Masterwork Research: Wish Granted ticket first. Finish all tasks to ensure a Shiny Jirachi meeting. These tasks are tough, so buckle up for a challenge.

For those attending the Go Tour: Hoenn Las Vegas event, they get early access. Others can buy a $4.99 ticket from Feb. 20 to March 20 in the game shop. Don’t miss your shot at this shiny Pokémon!
