With many powerful sweepers in UU, such as Cloyster, Mega Houndoom, Weavile, and Mega Absol, Dual Screens Jirachi is quite effective. This is due to its strong defensive typing, good all-around stats, and access to both Stealth Rock, Healing Wish, and Magic Coat. Dual Screens and Stealth Rocks are obvious moves used to help support the team, however, the main move that separates Jirachi from a dual-screen user such as Bronzong is its access to
Healing Wish. With this move, Jirachi can not only set up Screens/Stealth Rock, but also heal a sweeper up to full health after doing so. This can be extremely beneficial to Hyper Offensive teams, healing the previously mentioned sweepers back up to full health. A lot of the times, Healing Wish can save the game for a team. Anther toy Jirachi has to play with is
Magic Coat. If there's is one thing Hyper Offensive teams hate, it's hazards. However, with Magic Coat, Jirachi can easily bounce back hazards such as Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Sticky Web. It can also block Taunt, something that completely shuts this Jirachi set down. Another key pro it has over Bronzong is Speed, which allows it to outpace a ton of threats that Bronzong can not, such as Darmanitan, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and Arcanine, as well as Speed tying with Victini.
Overall, thanks to its access to key moves, speed, and great all-around stats, Jirachi can be a great Dual-Screener for Hyper Offensive teams.
