Jirachi, the mythical Pokemon with a star-shaped head and wish-granting abilities, has become a beloved design among fans.
Strobothicc, a digital artist and Reddit user, wowed fellow fans with their delightful animation featuring Jirachi.
For those playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the exciting news is that Jirachi can now be added to your team by transferring it from older games using Pokemon HOME. Furthermore, there are plans for new DLCs to be released in 2023, promising even more exciting content for these games.
A Pokemon enthusiast recently shared a fantastic self-created animation featuring Jirachi. Jirachi, also known as the "Wish Pokemon," is a mystical creature belonging to the Steel and Psychic types. This unique Pokemon was first introduced in Generation 3.
Jirachi is characterized by its star-shaped head and a dormant third eye on its abdomen, which only opens while it sleeps to rejuvenate itself. It typically hibernates for long periods, awakening only for seven days every millennium. Interestingly, even during slumber, Jirachi possesses the ability to protect itself from potential threats. When encountered while awake, individuals have the opportunity to make a wish, which Jirachi grants. The act of wish fulfillment played a significant role in the storyline of the series Pokemon: Black & White: Adventures in Unova and Beyond, where Ash and his companions aided a young girl in finding this magical Pokemon in their mountain village.
Jirachi's adorable and distinctive design have captivated many Pokemon fans, inspiring them to create fan art that explores different versions of the character. One standout piece is a Paradox version of Jirachi, but the latest creation comes from Reddit user and digital artist Strobothicc. They delighted fans with a charming Jirachi animation, showcasing the Pokemon joyfully soaring and bouncing towards a starry sky. In an Instagram post, Strobothicc expressed their love for Jirachi and the enjoyment they had while drawing and animating it.
The Jirachi animation received praise from fellow Pokemon enthusiasts, who marveled at its cuteness and brilliance. Strobothicc has also shared previous digital drawings that feature various Pokemon and characters from Genshin Impact, occasionally blending the two games together.
Meanwhile, enthusiastic players of the popular games Pokemon Scarlet and Violet can add Jirachi to their team by utilizing Pokemon HOME to transfer it from previous games, such as Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Jirachi has not only appeared in Pokemon games but has also featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where it would drop valuable items before vanishing, and as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U.
Recently, fans of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been delighting in the Teal Mask DLC, which has introduced over 100 new Pokemon to the series and provided an opportunity to explore Kitakami. The upcoming DLC titled Indigo Disk is set to release in the later part of 2023, promising additional Pokemon and story missions to captivate players throughout the year.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now for the Nintendo Switch.
