Competitive Crunch #8: Jirachi Analysis

Hey, guys! Welcome to today's segment of Competitive Crunch! Today, we will be analyzing a very versatile Pokemon in competitive battling, Jirachi.

First, lets analyze the basics.

Jirachi is a Steel/Psychic type Pokemon that was introduced in the third generation of Pokemon.

It was obtainable only through a bonus disc for Pokemon Colosseum or events during the earlier days of Generation Four. (I do have one myself.)

It has 100 Base Stats across the board with a BST of 600, meaning that it is very balanced.

Now it's time for competitive movesets from Smogon.
