Battle notes

Jirachi's Steel / Psychic typing is best attacked with Fire (2x), Ground (2x), Ghost (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
Avoid relying on common Poison, Psychic, Normal, Grass attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Jirachi resists or ignores those matchups.
This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
