OU Pokemon of the Week: Jirachi


Jirachi

HP: 100
Atk: 100
Def: 100
SAtk: 100
SDef: 100
Spe: 100

Comment: Jirachi is a very versatile pokemon, with 100 in each stat, makes a very good offensive and defensive pokemon. Although, the most used combo that Jirachi is able to use is the para-flinch combo. Combined with substitute, makes Jirachi a very reliable sweeper. Another famous set is the wish set if a support pokemon is needed for your team.


Substitute + Iron Head + Thunder Wave
Jolly Nature
Leftovers
164 HP/168 Atk/176 Spe

Substitute
Iron Head
Fire Punch
Thunder Wave


The aim of this set is to give the enemy no chance at all to attack. Every time Jirachi switches in, substitute is a must. When substitute is not yet broken, use thunder wave immediately. Afterwards, if substitute is broken, set another one, and then pin the enemy with iron head. With serene grace, there is always a 60% chance to flinch the enemy, with every other 40% may be cancelled by paralysis.

Wish + Calm Mind
Bold
Nature
Leftovers
252 HP/30 Spe/226 Def

Wish
Calm Mind
Thunderbolt/Psychic
Psychic/Flash Cannon

This set is a more defensive one, or otherwise intended for support. Wish extends the lifetime of Jirachi in the field, while increasing its Sp.Atk and Sp.Def with Calm Mind. The other two are offensive attacks. Thunderbolt is preferable, while Psychic and Flash Cannon gives STAB damage to the enemy.

Trick Lead
Jolly
Nature
Choice Scarf
4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe

Trick
Iron Head
Stealth Rock
Ice/Thunder/Fire Punch

Common set. Trick the enemy into holding a Choice Scarf, then cripple them. Max speed and attack is obvious to easily defeat the enemy.
