The global release of Jirachi in Pokémon GO seems to be imminent. Niantic is running a countdown on Twitter that ends tomorrow, August 20.
What is this countdown? Niantic shows a star map on Twitter with a countdown made of stars. Each day, there is one less star in the tweet, and more stars appear in the star map. Tomorrow evening, the countdown would end.
On the star map, Jirachi is becoming more and more recognizable. It seems that something big is going to happen around Jirachi this Tuesday. After all, there have already been various hints prior to this.
Jirachi in Pokémon GO – Is it coming tomorrow?
Would it fit Jirachi? Jirachi is a Pokémon in the console games that grants wishes. Stars are directly connected to this mysterious Pokémon.
An announcement by Niantic makes sense in this context. The fact is that this countdown is ending, and apparently, something will happen afterwards.
When exactly does the countdown end? So far, Niantic has uploaded the images always at 10 PM German time. If such an image is posted this evening, the countdown should end tomorrow evening, August 20, at 10 PM.
This is how Jirachi has appeared so far: This mysterious Pokémon has only been available at all 3 GO Fests through a special research task. These events are now over, so nothing stands in the way of a global release.
How could Jirachi come? This mysterious Pokémon will most likely bring a new special research task. After all, it had already a special research task at GO Fest.
In line with this, dataminer Chrales also found a special research task focused on Jirachi a few days ago. Whether this exact research will make it into the game remains to be seen.
I already have Jirachi, what now? If Jirachi comes as a special research task, players from GO Fest will also receive this research, but at the end of the quest line, there will be Jirachi candies instead of an encounter with the Pokémon. This was the case with Mew and Celebi.
