Jirachi
Psychic/Steel
The Wishmaker. God of wishes, hope, desire, and mischief.
Description
Jirachi, though rarely encountered, is relatively more frequently depicted. Most depictions follow the same template.
Its head is adorned with three golden triangular extensions that resemble both a star and a jester's cap. Wish tags hang from the ends of the 'cap'. These tags can be removed harmlessly as they grow back. Any similar tag of paper or fabric that is placed on the ends of the cap become part of Jirachi's body. The body is roughly humanoid, but of different proportions. Both arms are as long as the whole torso and the short legs. The body almost looks like a short human wearing a robe. Two long ribbons of gold emerge from the cream body, fluttering in a non-existent breeze (or perhaps, the breeze is the wind of fate).
Jirachi is known for having a level of Serene Grace that lets it divide its focus evenly between the damaging aspect of a move and the moves other aspects. Even the most chaotic battle cannot completely overwhelm its dual focus.
Battle Characteristics
As a Legendary Pokémon, Jirachi is devastatingly powerful. Its signature move, Doom Desire, is similar to Future Sight, but has enough power to level a city. Doom Desire is said to be the manifested anger of everyone who died trying to achieve a dream or wish and failed.
Life Cycle/Evolution Conditions
Jirachi, depending on its power, can live for centuries or millennia.
Diet
Many festivals pay homage to Jirachi with sweets.
Breeding
Jirachi, like all Legends, will not reproduce in captivity. Some say that they are born from shards of meteorite rocks that landed on mountain peaks as someone made a wish on the falling star.
Wild Behavior/Threat Level
Jirachi tends towards fulfilling wishes in the easiest manner possible. If theft by teleportation is easier, it will be done. Careful wording is necessary. Angering the Wishmaker is a very good way to end up cursed with horrible outcomes from a wish. Few have angered a Jirachi enough to provoke a direct attack, but the few times it has happened involved mass devastation. Jirachi can curse regions with blights, crop decay, pest infestations, and worse. It is believed the deaths of the firstborn children in the land of Eginna happened because the Pharaoh angered a Jirachi beyond endurance.
Bonding and Care
Jirachi has chosen its attendants by their benevolence and desire to fulfill their own wishes through hard work and effort.
Human/Pokémon Relations
One of the more sought-after legends, the god of desire and hope retreats to isolated locations and lives in harsh environments to evade humans. Nonetheless, it is a benevolent god that will visit festivals and grant some wishes.
With Family
Some Jirachi have granted the wish for a child by assuming human form for a lifetime to provide the child.
Relations with other Pokémon
Some species respect Jirachi and bow to it on sight. They have served as guardians of Jirachi's homes. Others flock to the Wishmaker, wanting their own dreams to be fulfilled.
Warning
Angering a god is foolish. Angering a god that plays with fate is even more foolish.
Legends/Folklore
Jirachi is the god of hopes and wishes. It has stood since time immemorial as the symbol of mortal desire to move beyond what we have and gain more.
Some Jirachi are stronger than others. The Millennium Jirachi of Forina is incredibly powerful, able to twist fate into a pretzel, but is only awake seven days every thousand years. Others are weaker, able to change crop yields and little more.
Some Jirachi are tied to celestial forces like the evening star, while others are tied to locations. Finding a celestial Jirachi is the first obstacle, after which making a wish is relatively easy task. Finding a wishing location Jirachi is easy, but getting them to listen is hard.
The exact rules enforced by a given Jirachi can vary.
