How to Get Jirachi on Pokemon Pearl Using Action Replay

Noted for its cute appearance and the "third eye" on its belly, Jirachi is the 385th Pokemon in the "Pokemon" video game series. The humanoid Legendary Pokemon Jirachi exclusively appeared on the Pokemon Coliseum Bonus Disc for the "Pokemon Ruby" and "Sapphire" games, and later Nintendo Wi-Fi events. It's difficult to obtain this Pokemon in newer "Pokemon" games, such as "Diamond" and "Pearl." Use an Action Replay device for the Nintendo DS to get a copy of this elusive Pokemon.

Instructions

1. Insert the Action Replay DS into the Nintendo DS game slot. Place your copy of "Pokemon Pearl" into the Action Replay's top slot. Check both cartridges for looseness. Remove and reinsert both cartridges to ensure both fit into the slot properly. Turn on your Nintendo DS and wait for the Action Replay DS to automatically boot. Select the "wrench" to manually add the code needed to get Jirachi.

2. Type in "Any Pokemon" when prompted to name the new code. Enter the appropriate code used to receive any Pokemon: 94000130 FCFF0000 B21C4D28 00000000 B0000004 00000000 10001170 00000181 D2000000 00000000. Use the number "181" at the end of the eighth set of numbers to get Jirachi. Save and select your code from the "Codes" menu. Tap the red "Start" button at the bottom DS screen to start the game.

3. Wait for the "Pokemon Pearl" game to start. Select your current save file and wait for the game to resume. Take your character from your last saved location and fly to Oreburgh City. Go to the Mining Museum at the left side of the city, and enter while holding the "L" and "R" buttons. Talk to the dark-haired professor at the counter to receive Jirachi.

Tips & Warnings

• Double-check your Action Replay DS codes. Submitting an incorrect code may corrupt your save file.
