OU Scarf Jirachi


Jirachi @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Head
- U-turn
- Healing Wish
- Fire Punch

Jirachi is a really good utility Choice Scarf user, providing valuable support to its teammates while also serving as a decent revenge killer, pressuring faster threats such as Ash-Greninja and Mega Alakazam. Thanks to its typing and natural bulk, Jirachi is also able to check Pokemon such as Tapu Lele and Magearna; although it cannot consistently switch in on them, it can at least pivot in a few times and force them out. Another big selling point of Jirachi is Healing Wish, which gives a second chance to a partner aiming to sweep and pairs really well with Choice Scarf, as it oftentimes means that Jirachi will be able to use it before the foe attacks. Choice Scarf Jirachi is generally best suited for offense and bulky offense builds. It pairs very well with wallbreakers and setup sweepers that appreciate Healing Wish and U-turn support, such as Mega Charizard X, Mega Mawile, Ash-Greninja, and Mega Heracross.

Choice Scarf Jirachi is a really good utility scarfer, providing valuable support to its teammates while also serving as a decent revenge killer. With Healing Wish, Jirachi is able to give a second chance to a partner aiming to sweep late game. Its high speed thanks to Choice Scarf oftentimes means that it will able to use it before getting KOed. This set also makes use of U-turn, which provides momentum to get in teammates safely on a predicted switch, and also pressures the likes of Mega Alakazam and Ash-Greninja. Fire Punch is used as a coverage move against Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor, hitting them for super effective damage. Ice Punch is another option that could be considered instead of Fire Punch to hit Ground-types such as Garchomp, Gliscor, and Landorus-T super effectively. I don't think basic dex information should be in Facebook Spotlights, people are looking for its place in the metagame and what it does. Mention something about checking Tapu Lele for example. Choice Scarf Jirachi is generally best suited for Bulky Offense and Offense teams. It pairs very well with strong wallbreakers and set-up sweepers such as Mega Mawile, Mega Charizard X, Mega Heracross, and Ash-Greninja, which can come in on Jirachi's checks and appreciate Healing Wish and U-turn support. Other pokemon that can form a Volt-turn core with Jirachi such as Tornadus-T, Landorus-T, and Rotom-W are also great partners.
I'd like to take anothe rlook once this is implemented.
