In Pokémon GO there are early clues pointing to the worldwide release of Jirachi. Could we expect it soon?
This is Jirachi: The mysterious Pokémon from Generation 3 has only appeared during the GO Fests. There, players were able to complete a special research and catch Jirachi.
Outside of the 3 GO Fests, there has been no opportunity to catch Jirachi. However, that may soon change, as Niantic has given some hints about Jirachi, and a data miner has discovered a relevant shirt.
That’s why Jirachi might come worldwide soon
This is what Niantic is hinting at: Looking at the latest Twitter posts, the assumption about Jirachi seems likely. The mysterious Pokémon is said to resemble a shooting star and grants wishes in the console games. Niantic is currently playing with that.
For example, it is said: “Wish for something, Trainer. Maybe it will come true during the Ultra Bonus.” Additionally, Niantic shows an image and posts numerous stars:
The developers are repeatedly hinting at the mysterious Pokémon. A worldwide release shouldn’t take much longer.
A data miner discovered: Chrales, a well-known data miner, has found a new clothing item in the code of Pokémon GO. It is a t-shirt featuring a large Jirachi.
A clothing item like this wouldn’t be added to the shop if Jirachi were not simultaneously catchable. This was also the case with Mew.
When could Jirachi come? The doors for a release are open. If we relate it to Niantic’s announcement, Jirachi could come along with the Ultra Bonus. This will take place from early September for 3 weeks. During this time, Jirachi might also arrive.
It is likely that there will be special research involved. This has been the case for most mysterious Pokémon so far, and there has already been a special research for Jirachi at the GO Fests. Additionally, data miner Chrales has already found a suitable special research.
There are also hints regarding Generation 5. We will show you what players have found:
