Wow, I almost can't believe this. Someone recently uncovered a glitch to activate beta material so you can catch a Jirachi in GSC. It appears to only be an image, because it overwrites the information for Cleffa, but it's pretty amazing regardless.


How to get Jirachi in Pokémon Gold/Silver (yes, for GBC).

For this trick to work, you will need a non-hacked cartridge (codes mess up the data in the game), a complete PokéDex (including Mew and Celebi), a level 99 male Clefairy in the 6th slot of your party, and 3 Moon Stones.

Make sure Clefairy is holding one of the Moon Stones, another Moon Stone is the first item in your Bag, and the other Moon Stone is in the 6th slot of the player’s PC.

With everything in order, go to Indigo Plateau and defeat the Elite 4 270 times (you can save the game and turn it off in between, but don’t reorder your items or team until you’ve finished). You cannot use Clefairy in a battle (even if it doesn’t gain experience) – if you do, you’ll have get a new level 99 Clefairy and start battling all over again.

Once you have finished that successfully, go to the Day-Care Couple and let them raise Clefairy (still holding the Moon Stone) until it gains a level. When you go to take it back, for some reason, the Pokémon’s name will have changed into question marks and it will no longer be holding an item. If you check the Moon Stones in your Bag and PC, their names will have also changed to question marks and will have 0 showing as the number you have. These won’t go away by tossing them, selling them, using them, or giving them to Pokémon. However, you can sell these mysterious items infinitely and get lots of cash. When used (outside of battle only), it acts like Cut (cuts down skinny trees and grass).

Give one of these ‘question mark’ items to the level 100 Clefairy to hold, then put it in Day-Care again. When you leave, you may notice a glitchy sprite next to Clefairy. If you talk to it, it will result in a bunch of glitch symbols that make your game freeze.

Walk around or ride on your bike until you see the Day-Care Man standing outside. Talk to him and get the Egg. This egg will take about 3 hours to hatch, but it’s worth it. When it hatches, it will be a level 4 Jirachi (Rock/Flying-type) that knows Pound, Encore, and Powder Snow. It will be holding a Teru-Sama.

Don’t believe me? Here’s a screenshot:

Calling shenanigans. Partly because it involves beating the E4 270 times (WTF?), and partly because even an egg hacked to be the most stubborn egg of all time should hatch in an hour and a half, period.

Nice sprite, though.
It sounds excessive, but there's actually a kind of counter in the coding for when you fight the Elite Four. Each time you enter the first room, it sets off. Apparently, once you enter the room (not necessarily beating the Elite Four) 270 times, the hex is aligned in just the right way to trigger the glitch. Considering this, it's probably likely you only would need to do it a shorter amount of times, as long as its divisible by 270. (A similar example is the Celebi Glitch, which deals with hex as well)

As for the egg taking so long... Well, remember MissingNo.? Encountering one resulted in an exceedingly-long black screen before the battle actually started. Several glitched have been known to screw with time needed, such as the Mew Glitch.

I googled this, to no avail. Not even a Youtube video.


If you feel like battling, send me a message (: I do use hacked Pokemon and am not afraid to admit it. If you have an restriction (No DW Pokemon, no legendaries, etc.) I'd be happy to oblige by those rules.

It was just discovered like three days ago. I'm just taking it upon myself to get the word out.

That's what people said about Mew in RBY a long time ago.

Hacking has revealed a lot of beta material hidden in the coding. Hackers are just now beginning to understand the "sourced" information, which is when coding is divided up but pulled together by the game. Note MissingNo. exists because it was the game trying to pull information from where a Pokemon didn't actually exist. It's the same thing here, only intentional. Apparently, GameFreak sourced the code all over as a sort of Easter Egg. This code triggers a sort of MissingNo./Celebi Glitch combo and pulls together all the hidden coding and sprite information that results in a Jirachi.

Assuming this is real, who the hell had the kind of time to do all that stuff?
Well, who had the time to do the Mew or Celebi Glitches? Those are just as random, yet somehow someone figured them out and they were real too.

The information is from here and is obviously from the "Fake Creations" section, lololol. Cute, but not real. I assume that they discovered the Mew/Celebi glitches through analyzing the game's code, not using Teleport or renaming Sneasel from boredom. :(

Mew Glitch was discovered in 2000/2001, way before ROM hacking became popular enough for Pokemon for anyone to even think about checking. Plus that kind of information can't just be "found" by analyzing the code; you have to know what you're looking for. In much the same way, this was discovered by accident.

Just because they happened before it was popular doesn't mean that NO ONE knew about it. Pokemon received a really big hype here in the U.S. right from the get go, so finding a hardcore gaming programmer that did the "impossible" at the moment is very likely. This sia,d they probably were looking for the data because THEY WERE A PROGRAMMMEERRRR.

Cough, fake. Move along.

TwilightBlade is right on this matter. No matter how much you try and say otherwise, Jirachi is NOT in G/S/C. Not without hacking the rom anyway. However, I suspect you're deliberately taking the "it's true" standpoint to provoke a response. Either that or you're inexplicably ignorant.

I never said Pokemon wasn't popular. But it wasn't heavily hacked until fairly recently, and you must have absolutely no idea of programming/hacking if you think that someone could actively look for something like the Mew Glitch.

Uhh.. Yes... You did...

Also, it's not a matter of it being HEAVILY hacked recently. It's just one hack that people saw/wanted and went out to make. Why? Like I stated before, The games took off right from the get go. Someone noticed, "Oh hay, I can get Mewtwo, but why not Mew?" And seeing how the internet existed back then, all it would have taken was a small google trip and a little bit of knowledge of the japanese language. (( These two things were available at the time )) To read up that Mew was indeed AVAILABLE for the game, just not without an event to trigger it.

And so they set out with a goal....

This could have been made on any computer with available resources. And seeing how the games existed, the resources must have as well. It may have been much more difficult, but it wasn't impossible.

Please provide a quote where I ever said Pokemon wasn't popular.

And, no, that's not how it happened. It was an accident.

Well, there is a reason for that, but apparently no one is an academic here.
