This event is expired, but feel free to read this post anyway! Also check the bottom of the post for information about future Pokémon 20 Legendary Distribution Events! Check back on the first of each month for information about the newest Pokémon 2016 Legendary Distribution Event Pokémon!
Here we are again with another PokeNews report! We are now three months into the Pokémon 20th Anniversary Legendary Pokémon Release Event! We’ve seen a host of Pokémon announcements and goodies from Nintendo since February, from the announcement of Moon and Sun to the release of Pokken Tournament! We’ve got two legendary Pokémon under our belts already, but it’s time to spring forward and into the Advanced Generation of Pokémon games, with April’s Jirachi release!
Jirachi, the Wish Pokémon, is a steel/psychic type from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Jirachi hibernate for a thousand years, during this time it is said that any wish written on the notes attached to its head will be granted once it awakens. Jirachi is also the only Pokémon capable of learning Doom Desire, which is its signature move. Like Mew and Celebi before it Jirachi had its own movie, Jirachi: Wish Maker, the one with the pretty lullaby.
Jirachi has been released before in two separate Ruby and Sapphire Events, so this will be the first time Jirachi will be available outside of its original games. I had one as a child, but that was only because I owned an Action Replay. So if you missed your chance to get Jirachi from one of the earlier events, now is your chance.
The Jirachi Event will be a Nintendo WiFi Distribution and will take place between April 1st to 24th 2016. In order to obtain Jirachi, players must have a 3DS or New 3DS, and Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.
The event Jirachi will be lv. 100 and have the Ability: Serene Grace, it will also come loaded with the move set Wish, Confusion, and Rest.

Are you excited about the 20th Anniversary of Pokémon? Which Legendary Pokémon are you most looking forward to? Feel free to leave a comment and share!
I got my beloved Mew, so I’m happy! 🙂
But since I sometimes play with a Rain team online, I guess I’m most looking forward to Manaphy and Keldeo.
You play online? 0.o I was never very good at competitive play (too much work for me). I think it’s awesome that you can play competitively!
I missed out on just about all of the legendary events in the past… but I guess i’m especially looking forward to finally completing my pokedex, since the legendaries are all that i’m missing now.
Well, nothing major. No tournaments or anything, just for fun. It’s too addicting, so I don’t do it often. ^^
Good luck finishing your Pokedex!
