Jirachi (Mixed Attacker)
- Thread starter Thundur
- Start date
Just wondering, wouldn't dropping the speed iv for hp ice be more efficient, since it drops one stat point instead of two with the 31/30/30/31/31/31 option. If the given 152 Atk / 208 SpA / 148 Spe (+Spe) is done with 31/30/30/31/31/31, then wouldn't 148 Atk / 208 SpA / 149 Spe get you 236 defense compared with 235 defense while maintaining 275 Atk and 300 Speed?
i've used jirachi as a smashpass receiver an absolute ton so i have quite a few comments in this regard. the set is fine as it is, i'm just nitpicking the sentences/paragraph that will mention mixed jirachi as a smashpass receiver.
the best spread i've found for smashpass jirachi is 252 Atk / 160 SpA / 96 Spe with a lonely nature. all you need to do is hit 260 speed in this meta since excadrill is no longer a concern, so your benchmark is 520 speed after a smashpass to outspeed scarf terrakion. you'll mainly be spamming iron head so that's why attack is maxed, but your special attack still reaches over 500 so hp ice and thunderbolt will be insanely strong. i'm not sure if drain punch is really the best option for smashpass jirachi because smashpass teams tend to never have problems with heatran, considering gorebyss and huntail almost always have a water attack and the secondary smashpass receiver is generally a dragon who can easily beat heatran. if anything energy ball should be the only other attack that gets mention because quagsire is a HUGE threat to smashpass. also you'll need to mention how lum berry is the best item for jirach if you're using it as a smashpass receiver.
tldr:
- keep the main mixed set as it is; it's goooooooooood
- in the paragraph mentioning jirachi as a smashpass receiver be sure to include: 252 Atk / 160 SpA / 96 Spe Lonely spread, no mention of drain punch, mentions of energy ball (which you have) and lum berry
hopefully this doesn't overcomplicate the analysis too much!

- Remove the "Not expected" bit from the Set Comments. It will be on-site so people will watch out for it.
- Mention that one of the downsides of dropping Iron Head for Psychic is that you now have troubles against the very common Tyranitar.
- You already mentioned Lum Berry so leave it as it is, I'm sure Iconic just missed it.

[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Unlike most other Jirachi sets, this set focuses on catching your opponent off guard and dealing heavy damage right off the bat. Thanks to the rise in usage of Choice Scarf Jirachi, this set can effectively bluff a Choice Scarf set and draw in Skarmory, Scizor, Gliscor, most bulky Water-types, Forretress, Ferrothorn, etc and other common Jirachi switch ins. With these Pokemon out of the way, it will be easier to find holes to sweep with another Pokemon. Not only can this set break holes for other Pokemon to sweep, but Jirachi can pull of a sweep due to the great coverage this move set provides as well. Although the STAB move of choice (Iron Head) does not provide much coverage itself, it can help chip off some damage to help ensure an OHKO with another move.</p>
[ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
<p>The EVs on this set are specially tailored to help this set achieve its goal. 152 Attack EVs are used to score an OHKO on Scizor after Stealth Rock, as well as to give a nice boost to Jirachi's physical attack. 152 Speed EVs along with a Naive nature hits 301 Speed. With this investment, Jirachi can outspeed 252 neutral natured Gliscor, neutral natured Lucario, Mamoswine, 252 neutral base 100s, and max Speed Rotom. The rest of the EVs are dumped into Special Attack to deal more damage with Thunderbolt and HP Ice (these SpA EVs allow Jirachi to score an OHKO on Gliscor with HP Ice). An alternative set of 12 Atk / 248 SAtk / 244 Spe EVs with 30 Speed IVs along with a Rash / Mild Nature @ and Leftovers can be used to gain enough speed to deal with non-Scarf neutral natured Hydreigon. This set can be a more effective lure, as it bluffs the more common specially defensive Jirachi set. Most of the Special Attack from the Expert Belt spread is maintained with max Special Attack investment along with a Rash nature (this spread OHKOs Gliscor as well). Although the Attack drop is noticeable, especially when trying to score OHKOs on Pokemon such as Scizor, Jirachi can seal Scizor's fate with a prior Iron Head flinch or a couple of Stealth Rock switch ins. Iron Head can also be used to gain more Leftovers recovery, if Jirachi gets the flinch.</p>
<p>Psychic can be used to check Gengar, Breloom, Conkeldurr, and Toxicroak more effectively and to score a solid 2HKO on Tentacruel. If Psychic is used over Iron Head, this would mean losing to Tyranitar, however. If Jirachi is used on a Smash Pass team, Energy Ball is suggested over HP Ice to get past Water-/{Add Space}Ground-types such as Quagsire and Gastrodon. Lum Berry is the suggested item to shrug of status and continue sweeping. A spread of 252 Atk / 160 SpA / 96 Spe with a Lonely nature is the most efficient EV spread. This spread hits 520 Speed after Shell Smash, allowing Jirachi to outspeed Choice Scarf Terrakion after the Baton Pass. Keep in mind, adding Psychic or Energy Ball would mean dropping either Iron Head, which provides flinches, or a coverage move, which can make certain Pokemon harder for this set to deal with.</p>
<p>Heatran is among the top counters to this set. Heatran can take any hit, and retaliate with a super effective STAB attack. Terrakion, Landorus, Infernape, Darmanitan, etc. and others can heavily dent or OHKO Jirachi. If Jirachi is not running Leftovers, it can easily be worn down over time with a combination of entry hazards and chips of damage here and there residual damage on switch ins. To lure in Water-/{Add Space}Ground-types, (which this set has trouble with),(Add Comma) Grass Knot Infernape can be used. Toxic Spikes users can be used to deal with Water-/{Add Space}Ground-types as well. Toxic Spikes form a great combo with Iron Head as well, as they quickly wearing down Pokemon when used together. Aqua Jet users such as Azumarill and Sharpedo can take out Terrakion, Landorus, Infernape, and Darmanitan. Gyarados can take Fire-type moves attacks from Darmanitan and Infernape, and as well as Earthquakes and Close Combats from Terrakion (Close Combat from Terrakion as well) and Earthquakes from Landorus and retaliate with a super effective STAB attack. Any Pokemon that enjoys Gliscor, Skarmory or any other Pokemon this set lures and takes out being gone are good partners. Terrakion is especially effective, as Jirachi lures in Terrakion's popular checks and counters such as Gliscor, Slowbro, Scizor, and Skarmory.</p>

With this investment,wing Jirachi canto outspeed neutral-natured Gliscor, Lucario, Mamoswine, neutral base 100s, and maximum Speed Rotom. The rest of the EVs are dumped into Special Attack to deal more damage with Thunderbolt and Hidden Power Ice, the latter of which can score an OHKO on Gliscor. An alternative spread of 12 Atk / 248 SAtkpA / 244 Spe EVs with 30 Speed IVs along with a Rash or Mild Nature and Leftovers can be used to gain enough Speed to deal with neutral-natured Hydreigon. This set can be a more effective lure, as it bluffs the more common specially defensive Jirachi set. Most of the Special Attack from the Expert Belt spread is maintained with maximum Special Attack investment along withnd a Rash nature. Although the Attack drop is noticeable, especially when trying to score OHKOs on Pokemon such as Scizor, Jirachi can seal Scizor's fate with a prior Iron Head flinch or a bit of residual damage. Iron Head can also be used to gain more Leftovers recovery if Jirachi gets the flinch.</p>
<p>Psychic can be used to check Gengar, Breloom, Conkeldurr, and Toxicroak more effectively andto score a solid 2HKO on Tentacruel.

Toxic Spikes form a great combination alongside Iron Head as well, as they quickly wear down Pokemon when used together. Aqua Jet users such as Azumarill and Sharpedo can take out Terrakion, Landorus, Infernape, and Darmanitan. Gyarados can take Fire-type attacks from Darmanitan and Infernape, as well as Earthquakes and Close Combats from Landorus and Terrakion, and retaliate with a super effective STAB attack.

<p>Unlike most other Jirachi sets, this set focuses on catching your opponent off-guard and dealing heavy damage right off the bat. Thanks to the rise in the usage of Choice Scarf Jirachi, this set can effectively bluff a Choice Scarf and draw in Skarmory, Scizor, Gliscor, most bulky Water-types, Forretress, Ferrothorn, and other common Jirachi switch-ins. With these Pokemon out of the way, it will be easier for a teammate to sweep. Not only can this set break holes for other Pokemon to sweep, but Jirachi can even pull of a sweep of its own due to the great coverage this set provides. Although Iron Head does not provide much coverage itself, it receives STAB and can help chip off some damage to help ensure a KO with another move, not to mention Jirachi can abuse Iron Head's 60% flinch ratethanks to Serene Grace.</p>
