Video summary
The Jirachi event has officially arrived in Pokopia and will run globally between June 23rd and July 8th, offering players two distinct methods to obtain the legendary Pokémon. The primary method involves waiting until after the event concludes on July 8th; at that point, you can simply speak with Jirachi directly to claim it as a permanent friend who stays in your world regardless of location. Alternatively, for those eager to secure their copy immediately or whose local time zone has not yet activated the event, there is a workaround involving another player's Virtual Island. By visiting an active island where the event is live and scanning specific items before returning home, you can trigger Jirachi's spawn in your own world instantly, effectively bypassing regional restrictions.
To participate fully or maximize rewards during the event window, players must first ensure their system date matches the current global time to access all features. The core mechanic revolves around collecting "shining wish notes," a special currency obtained by fulfilling requests from various Pokémon who appear with bubbles above their heads asking for items like information boards, hamburgers, or berries. Once you interact with Jirachi at the start of the event, he provides recipes and instructions to craft regular wish notes using vine rope found in abundance throughout the game world. By granting these wishes to other Pokémon, your standard note transforms into a shining version, which can then be traded directly back to Jirachi for exclusive rewards such as star closets and decorative furniture pieces.
For players seeking efficiency or wishing to decorate their space immediately without waiting for quests to complete, there is a shortcut involving special codes shared by community members like Mel Shoda on Twitter. By equipping mysterious goggles in the inventory menu and entering these codes while holding an active Nintendo Switch Online membership, you can access a hidden location filled with all available Jirachi event items ready for 3D printing. This allows users to instantly acquire decorative elements such as starry sky beds, moon clocks, cloud tables, and paintable furniture like dressers and wall decorations. These items not only serve aesthetic purposes but also allow players to customize colors before placing them in their rooms to create a fully realized Jirachi habitat surrounded by stars.
Upon acquiring all necessary components through either the quest system or the code shortcut, the final step is assembling your custom environment within Pokopia. Players should arrange the bed and cloud table first, followed by installing the functional Jirachi lamp that illuminates the area with electricity nearby. Once the essential furniture like closets and star mats are placed to define the habitat boundaries, additional decorative blocks such as telescopes, cannons, and wall art can be added to personalize the space further. This process results in a vibrant room themed around stars and clouds where Jirachi will naturally appear once its spawn conditions are met via scanning items from an active island or waiting for the event timer to expire after July 8th.

The Jirachi event is finally here in
Pokopia, so here's everything you need
to know about the event and how to get
Jirachi. And I can't believe I'm playing
Pokopia again. Let's get into it. Now,
this event is going to be taking place
between June 23rd and July 8th, and
there are two ways you can get Jirachi.
One is the day after the event ends,
you're just basically going to talk to
Jirachi, and then you can claim Jirachi
as your friend, and it'll stay and you
can move it into wherever you want. Or
there's another option that I discovered
that you can actually do before the
event is even live for you, but it's
live for someone else using the virtual
island. Check this out. I don't know
about you guys, but it's been such a
long time since I've been back in
Pokopia, and it feels kind of crazy, but
Jirachi is officially here, and we have
the Jirachi event happening right now.
There's Jirachi, so here we go. To start
off the event, make sure that your
switch is on the correct date. So, if
you're a date skipper, set it to current
time, or jump all the way to June 23rd,
because now the event is global. It's
available for everybody. So, the first
thing you want to do is talk to Jirachi.
Says, "Hey Ditto, can I ask you a
favor?" "Yay, thank you. So, I really
want wish notes that shine. I once saw a
wish note as bright as a star, and it
was so pretty. I want to collect a bunch
of them." So, this is the currency
that's happening during this event.
Says, "A shining wish note is a wish
note that contains a granted wish. If
you have a wish note, you can give it to
a Pokémon when you accept the request,
and it'll become a shining wish note."
Basically, the currency is shining wish
notes once you fulfill that request. "I
know how to make regular wish notes, and
I'll teach you how to make some. Prepare
to get special rewards, so go out and
make a bunch of wish notes to shine."
So, you're going to get the recipe right
after this interaction with Jirachi, and
stay tuned cuz there's quite a bit of
tricks about this event and, you know,
how to work around the event as well.
Once you're done talking to Jirachi,
head over to a crafting table, and tap
all the way over to other. And once
you're at other, you're going to see
there is the wish notes, which only cost
you two vine rope. If you need vine
rope, there are tons of little Pokémon
that do drop this. So, I'm just going to
make myself
a good amount 50 wish notes.
There we go. Now, what you want to do is
look for a Pokémon with a bubble above
their head. They're trying to figure out
what's going on. So, I'm going to talk
to Scyther. There's something I need
help with. So, I say, "Sure. I want an
information board so you can tell me
where I live." Okay. What? You want me
to hold on to that wish note for you?
Sure thing, pal. Going to hand that wish
note over to Scyther.
All right. So, after Scyther takes a
wish note, you have to do its request.
And right now, Scyther wants a
information board. So, let me go craft a
information board real quick. Also,
while I was on my way to get some Poké
Metal, you can also initiate multiple
wish note requests at the exact same
time.
So, you can see Vikavolt says, "I want a
simple hamburger steak right now."
And then, you can see Vikavolt just took
a note from me.
There we go. Vikavolt has a wishing
note. So, you can do multiple at the
exact same time. Ooh, I see another
request.
Of course.
Leppa Berry is pretty easy. So,
Wingull's also got me a quest.
Oh, that was quick. I already had one in
my inventory. Pretty good.
And the wish note I got is shining.
So, one shining wish note.
There it is. Shining wish note. And
sparkles like this.
And my wishing note.
So, grant a Pokémon its wish. The wish
note shines. And now that you got the
idea of how to get those wishing notes,
let's head on into a Pokémon Center,
which obviously you can tell is themed
out for this event. Uh so, we can see
what items you can get. Now, inside the
Pokémon Center, you're obviously going
to be seeing Jirachi there.
And you can see that there are a couple
of items here. You have a star closet.
And you can tell
that it's only going to cost you one
shining wish note. You don't have to do
much for this. Every single item is just
one. So, pretty much 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. You
get a bunch of these, which is 8 9 10.
That's all you need. And you can get as
many of these items [music] as possible
by trading that in with Jirachi. Now, if
you find it too complicated to use all
the wish notes and do all the quest
lines, well, here's a shortcut for you
on the screen. This is Mel Shoda on
Twitter who has provided a code, as you
can see on the screen. Just screenshot
that if you have to. But, I will do it
live right now.
Make sure to open up your inventory, put
on your mysterious goggles just like
this.
If you have Nintendo Switch online
membership, this should be easier to do.
And then just go ahead and enter the
code.
All right. And then you will arrive at
the island and you'll be like, "Oh,
where are the Jirachi items?" Well, fear
not because the Jirachi items are right
over here in this location. Now, what
you want to do specifically is once you
see all these items here, they're a
typical fashion, we want to be able to
make them and 3D print them. So, open up
your camera, make sure you toggle Y so
you can see the names of each items and
start taking pictures. Just make sure
there is room in your inventory. So,
there are a couple items here. You have
your telescope, you have the Jirachi
lamp. Then you have the cloud table
below. That's a Jirachi lamp, cloud
table. You have the closet right over
here. You got your starry sky bed. You
have a star mat. And then on the floor
you're going to have your star print. On
the right here, you'll have your cloud
cannon. Then we go over here, we have
our star shaped dresser.
Back out for that. Then you could have
your starry sky wall. If you look up,
you're going to have your moon clock,
and if you look over here, you're going
to have your star wall decoration. So,
just make sure you can see exactly all
those items when you are taking a photo
of them. And when you're done, you can
just return back home and 3D print them
from your Pokémon Center. It's that
simple.
There it is.
And the cool uh thing that you can do is
we've talked about a trick on the
channel a while ago, and it's pretty
much just to dig six down inside of the
Dragonite Poké Doll, and then just farm
your Poké Medals via that way. It's a
lot easier, and you can just finish this
event really quick. But, if you want to
do the cute way,
you can go ahead and do the Pokémon
request.
I'll take that.
So now, once you get all your items, uh
what you want to do is place the bed
down over here cuz we're going to make a
Jirachi habitat. Then what you want to
do after that is place down a cloud
table right here next to the bed. Make
sure you have electricity close by
because you're then going to want to
grab your Jirachi lamp and put it right
there. There's my Jirachi lamp. It's on.
You would know that because you see the
turn off next to it. And then what you
want to do is also grab a closet. So,
I'm going to do that.
Just like this.
And just like that,
bing, you've created the habitat for
Jirachi.
And it won't show up. So, it'll be
surrounded by stars. That's a Jirachi
environment and you're pretty much done.
And then the other items that exist are
just there for decoration. So, if you
want to place your star mat down, you
can do that. And the cool part about
some of these items is that you can see
that they have the paint over it, so you
can kind of design it in your own color.
We also have the moon clock, wall
decorations, all that fun stuff. A lot
of things that people do is maybe if
you're in a room, you want to use these
blocks for decoration. There we go. We
got the walls on.
Then what we'll do is we'll just grab
the wall decorations like this.
Kind of put that up there.
We can grab the moon clock.
Put the moon clock right there.
Almost got all the items here.
The cloud cannon,
which you can load. So, it pretty much
functions like another cannon.
There we go. Very cool. The next item is
going to be the star-shaped dresser that
you can also paint to whatever colors
you may like. And we have a lovely
telescope. So, pretty much now you can
see all the items from the Jirachi event
here. Pretty easy to do. Not too bad.
And yeah, that's your Jirachi habitat.
Now, a very interesting thing about how
these Pocopia events work, which I want
you to really pay attention to, is that
if the event is not live yet in your
time zone, what you have to do is go
ahead and scan the items from someone
else's Cloud Island. After you go to
their Cloud Island, then you can get the
items, place them down, find the
habitat, and the Pokémon will naturally
spawn in your world without the event
even being live. So, this is an example
of Jirachi being live, but if it's not
via this way, you can grab it right
after the event, which we'll still talk
about that.
So, here's Jirachi.
Jirachi talking about the wish.
And Jirachi's now registered in my
Pokédex, and it's a litter. Ooh, I
wonder what it drops. What does Jirachi
drop? So, after I finished recording, I
looked at Twitter and realized those
fireworks are completely different from
the original fireworks we have. Here's a
quick video from AkaIno Games showcasing
all of the different fireworks effects
specifically from that cannon.
