Thank you so much for this guide. I was worried that I would not get the shiny before the shutdown (I've been resetting for months). Thanks to your guide, I'm happy to say, I finally got my red boi.

Going to attempt to go for this soon, as this is the only guide I feel confident in using for this purpose (and I don't want to set up for Channel Jirachi). It is incredibly nerve wracking though, so hoping I can get consistent at the least fairly quickly LOL
My hunt begins soon; got the GBA to GC cable ordered and on the way, a copy of Ruby and a Link Cable for Emerald double-checking (and trading Jirachi to Emerald for a new playthrough) due for delivery tomorrow..!
Yo Jefe I started my hunt today, following ProfessorRex’s guide as he was going for the same Shiny Serious spread I am It seems like I got very close on a couple occasions, as much as being likely two frames off on one attempt, but I’m curious, if I wanted to use FlowTimer and follow your guide, how could I adjust your instructions to hit the Serious Shiny Jirachi
Thank you so much for the guide! I have two quick questions if you have time to answer. First, does changing the settings before hiting new game effect anything? Second, after getting your starter you say to take this exact path. If we accidently deviate from that path will it mess up the run? Sorry Im so late to the party eith these questions! I have done two runs using the timer settings for the hasty jirachi and have been super far off from the correct checksum, so much so I am having trouble telling which one I hit...
Update! I managed to get it! It took a lot of time and I'm glad it's over with! May's mudkip getting crits may have given me PTSD haha! Thanks again for the guide!
@@williambolls1819 I just realized it's been over a year since I made the guide, and you're the first to go for this exact Jirachi as I suggested in the video. 😂
i’ve received my jirachi twice and made sure to put in all the correct info in my run, but the jirachi in the identifier program doesn’t match with anything in the spreadsheet. i’m going for the naughty one, do i need to fill out the excel document differently for that jirachi?
There's actually an easier way. You can use the "Respawn Starter" code and put Jirachi in the lead. After claiming the starter, you'll get teleported to Birch's lab and he'll offer to nickname your "new starter." But the script actually just nicknames Slot 1 of the Party, so you can nickname any pokemon this way regardless of OT/TID/SID
@@PapaJefeYT ok do i still need to use the trainer ID and secret ID as well though? I haven't done that part becasue im still trying to get a shiny mew with my orginal trainer info. And I was meaning will this work for changing to the event jirachi trainer id?
@@PapaJefeYTso if I use pomeg berry to get jirachi or is there a code to spawn the event jirachi in to my game. And your saying teleporting to the lab will change the OT to wish maker?
@@matthewlightbody6995 ohhhhhh I misunderstood your question. That's my bad. I thought you were trying to nickname a WISHMKR by making your OT/TID/SID WISHMKR. Not trying to create a Wishmaker from scratch using glitches 🤣
Hey, thank you so much for the guide! I’ve managed to nail the correct TID/SID multiple times, however, every one of my attempts has resulted in the seed 0000 Quirky Jirachi. I'm using an official Bonus Disc, and copy of Pokemon Ruby. I was thinking that it was the fact I was using an Analogue Pocket, but I got the same result when attempting with both a GBA and OG DS.
That's quite strange. What happens if you start a fresh file and do no RNG manipulation of the TID/SID? The Jirachi disk is analyzing the save file and computing a checksum, so it's nearly impossible to get the same Jirachi every time. My only thought is that maybe the Ruby cartridge is a reproduction, and thus is handling save data in a different way?
@@PapaJefeYT Tried resetting my Wii, and used my copy of Sapphire on the off-chance that it was a reproduction (although I know it's a legit cartridge), and it again gave me the 0000 Quirky Jirachi with manipulation. Afterwards, I save-corrupted the Sapphire to restore the save before without the Jirachi and re-gifted the Jirachi and got a different Jirachi for once...Honestly a little stumped to be honest.
That save corrupt actually might have solved the issue. In the guide, at ~16:25, I do a first save. And then the final save at the timer resolution is the one the Bonus Disc references. The games have two save blocks, and if you don't save twice, one of your save blocks is blank and in theory would give you checksum 0000. Doing a corruption would push the pre-Jirachi save into the correct block for the disc to recognize.
@@PapaJefeYT Okay, thank you so much, that was driving me crazy. The only RNG I've done before this is Gen IV, and it's my first time messing with Gen III, so I knew I was borking something up. I will give it a shot later today when I have more time. Thank you so much for your help!
I'm really excited to try this but I need to order some stuff first so I have a coupla of questions. Does it matter from wich region my gameboy, my ruby edition or anythung else is? For example english Collosseum bonus disc and german Wii. Thanks for making this guide you explained every sequence very well :)
I'm actually not entirely sure. I know that the english Colosseum Bonus disc can communicate with all english copies of RS, regardless of the Wii's region. I'm not sure if other EU copies of RS can communicate with ENG Colosseum though. You'd need to experiment. If you can receive the Jirachi successfully, this method will work.

Have you seen The domiNATION's video on how you can regenerate the no-Jirachi flag by just deleting the save file and quitting out right when it tries to delete it? I wonder if that makes the RNG manip much easier, just chill in front of the professor and Double save at the correct time
I haven't, but that sounds interesting. I'm not exactly eager to try this RNG again, but if that's reliable it might be possible. My main concern, would be that the tools might not work in this scenario because they were created for redeeming in one run.
@@PapaJefeYT So i actually had someone remove the battery so it can have the "battery has run dry message" so I can attempt the manips. I've noticed on the runs i did the jirachi only matched 5 of the 6 ivs. would that mean I vastly missed near the seed target? UPDATE: Hey Papa Jefe, I actually managed to get the shiny Jirachi with RNG Manip. Its the Hasty spread since in Scarlet and Violet you can fix those things. It still feels so unreal having this thing and now I'm using Emerald cloning glitch to give one to my friend.
@@jordancrazy45 make a personal copy of the jirachi tool, then input everything you need (which you get by making everything in rschecksum match the seed for your desired jolly jirachi. good luck!
So the name won't show up on the actual Jirachi, it'll always have the WISHMKR OT,. However, if you wanted to do a playthrough with it or something after, you'd just need to experiment in the tool. Its probably theoretically possible to use any name, but I'd highly recommend just trading it to another file after getting it.
Afraid not. This is North America only. The European Jirachi release was in Pokemon Channel. My friend actually has a guide for doing that game as well. ua-cam.com/video/e2hGP30Dge8/v-deo.html

@@TheGratefulDane As long as you're comfortable doing so, yes its fine. There are people out there who do Live Battery RNG, by inserting the battery and then setting a timer, to get a specific seed.

@@PapaJefeYT I can tell, been at it five weeks now. I'm running both a Copy of Ruby (Drain battery) and a copy of Sapphire (Good battery) at the same time. Thank you for the videos they give me the motivation to push forward in this.
@@nobleginger2535 Hunting this without manipulating the RNG will take many, many attempts. Since the Trainer name is irrelevant, I recommend changing that up every time on your dead-battery copy, to maximize checksum variance.
@@PapaJefeYT Thank you, I will remember to do that with the rest of the hunt. I'm recording each attempt I make as show of proof of getting it so I will upload it to my channel when I finally do get it.

Isn't Jirachi in other games though?
@Pantsmonster v6 actually, there is 1 more way to get a jirachi. You need the PAL version of Pokémon Channel and a PAL copy of ruby or sapphire.
A very interesting way to get that shiny! I wonder if this would work with the retail Celebi (JPN ver)?
