How to get Jirachi in Pokopia

Jirachi has arrived in town, and although the main focus of the event is to unlock exclusive prizes, you also won’t want to miss out on getting them as a villager in Pokopia. It’s a pretty tricky process that’s not explained to you, so it can be tough to navigate. For most Pokémon, all you need to do is build the right habitat to get them to move in. Jirachi is an event Pokémon, though, making them a bit more complex to recruit. If you’re struggling with this process, here’s how to get Jirachi in Pokopia.

It’s a fairly complex process with a few tricky steps, so if any part of it is giving you trouble, here’s a full breakdown of everything you need to get done. Meet Jirachi. From June 23 to July 8, you can meet Jirachi at any rebuilt Pokémon Center. You must chat with them at some point during this timeframe to begin the unlocking process. Build a habitat for Jirachi. You can technically complete this step during or after the event as long as you have the items to make it, but to ensure you’re able to get Jirachi as fast as possible, it’s best to set it up while the event is active. Jirachi requires a special Surrounded by Stars habitat to live in. Wait for the event to end. Jirachi is busy selling you rewards while the event is active, so you have to wait for it to be over before you can have them move in. The event ends on July 8, so July 9 is the soonest you can unlock them. Show Jirachi the completed habitat. Once the event is over, locate Jirachi at one of the completed Pokémon Centers. Ask them to follow you, then lead them over to the habitat you set up for them. Chat with them again there to see if they want to move in. As long as the habitat is properly built and complete, Jirachi will agree and is then officially unlocked. Jirachi can spawn at any rebuilt Pokémon Center, so if you don’t see them at the first one, be sure to check all versions of this building you have up and running. They also might wander around it a bit, so circle all around the center to make sure you don’t miss them. Jirachi flies a bit, too, so look up to make sure they’re not hovering just out of sight.
