Pokémon Pokopia launches Jirachi event June 23-July 8

A new limited-time event introducing the Mythical Pokémon Jirachi will begin in the life simulation game Pokémon Pokopia on June 23. The "Wish Upon a Jirachi" event will run from 5:00 a.m. local time on June 23 until 4:59 a.m. local time on July 8, offering players a chance to earn exclusive starry sky-themed furniture and décor.

To participate, players must have at least one fully rebuilt Pokémon Center in their town, as Jirachi will only appear in towns meeting that requirement. Upon speaking with Jirachi, players will receive a recipe for "wish notes." By fulfilling requests from other Pokémon in their community, players can convert these notes into "sparkling wish notes," which can then be exchanged with Jirachi at the Pokémon Center for the unique rewards. The sparkling wish notes and event-specific items will only be available during the event period.

This marks the fourth live event for the game since its launch on March 5. The event structure appears similar to previous limited-time events that introduced Pokémon like Hoppip and Sableye, though Jirachi is a rarer Mythical Pokémon. Notably, an update to the game has added an online connectivity requirement to participate...
