How to Get Jirachi in Pokemon Pearl
The Pokemon Jirachi is a wish Pokemon that, according to the player's Pokedex, has the ability to "grant any wish for just one week every thousand years." Although the Pokemon cannot be found in "Pokemon Pearl" or "Pokemon Diamond," it can be transferred from other "Pokemon" games. Jirachi automatically knows the "Confusion" and "Wish" moves, and develops other abilities as it levels up. It is a steel- and psychic-type Pokemon.

Select "Yes" when prompted. You will be given the opportunity to catch the Pokemon you transferred in Pal Park. The Pokemon will stay in Pal Park until you catch them.
