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.
