Wish Upon a Jirachi Event Brings the Mythical Pokémon to Pokémon Pokopia
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Jirachi is headed to Pokémon Pokopia in a new limited-time event starting June 23, bringing nighttime-themed furniture, special crafting tasks, and exclusive rewards for Switch 2 players.
Pokémon Pokopia is getting its next major in-game event, bringing the beloved Mythical Pokémon Jirachi to the post-apocalyptic Kanto region starting June 23. According to a report by Austin Manchester at Polygon, the Wish Upon a Jirachi event will run until July 8 and introduces a fresh set of nighttime-themed furniture and decor items for player habitats. To participate, players need to make sure they have a rebuilt Pokémon Center in their town before the festivities begin.
During the event, players can talk to Jirachi to receive a recipe for wish notes, then complete tasks for the community's Pokémon to upgrade those into sparkling wish notes. These items can then be traded back to Jirachi for exclusive rewards. While the event wraps up in early July, it remains to be seen whether Jirachi can become a permanent resident if players construct a dedicated habitat using the new event items, as The Pokémon Company has not yet confirmed long-term residency rules.
Since launching on March 5, Pokémon Pokopia has established itself as a major draw on the Nintendo Switch 2, driving hardware bundles and engaging players despite some classic crafting grind. Events like this keep the community active and give builders fresh ways to customize their shared spaces. For all the details on setting up your town and grabbing those exclusive rewards, you can check out the original coverage over at Polygon.
