Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 248 HP / 28 Atk / 80 Def / 104 SpD / 48 Spe
Sassy Nature
- Wish
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Fire Punch
- Body Slam

With sand immunity, Wish, and increased chance to spread status with Serene Grace, Jirachi can provide valuable support to much of the ADV metagame. Unlike later generations, where Jirachi learns Iron Head, Jirachi often finds its common Wish set walled by the metagame-defining Tyranitar, giving it opportunities to fire off powerful attacks. Enter Hidden Power Fighting! This move allows Jirachi to quite literally 'fight’ back Tyranitar trying to switch in, finish Dragon Dance Tyranitar in a pinch, and still perform a strong anti-offense role thanks to its unmatched ability to spread paralysis with Body Slam. Additionally, Jirachi acts as a special wall without granting free entry to common spikers thanks to its typing, special bulk, and Fire Punch. The given EV spread lets Jirachi outspeed Adamant Tyranitar, live Earthquake from physical attackers like Dragon Dance Salamence and Tyranitar, and it increases the chance of 2HKOing bulky Tyranitar. The rest is dumped into Special Defense to help it wall special attackers.

Expand on this, especially on how Jirachi can be a massive pain for offensive teams to deal with as they have no good switchins to the combination of Bslam+Fire Punch except Tyranitar.

Once done QC 1/1.

Thanks for the QC bro, i did actually make some edits already that i didn't add from some conversations with vapi and triangles, so I'll probably edit that in, I'll see if i can fit in those extra points you made there as well with the word count, this version was already over a by a little bit so i was trying to shave off some words on the new version, will get it all sorted this evening!
 
tag me once you've implemented this and I'll give it a final look.
