Jirachi

Description

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Jirachi #42 from the 2015 Roaring Skies expansion stands out as a distinct entry for collectors focusing on the Metal type or specific artist works. Designed by Sanosuke Sakuma, this Reverse Holo rare card captures the essence of the Wish Pokémon, known in Pokédex entries for its legendary ability to grant wishes for a single week every thousand years. As a Basic Pokémon with 70 HP, it serves as a foundational piece for deck builders looking to utilize its unique attack capabilities. Jirachi offers two primary attacks that define its strategic role within the game. "Metal Diminutive Desire" allows players to look at the top seven cards of their deck and retrieve one specific card, shuffling the remainder back to maintain deck integrity. The second attack, "MetalColorless Doom Desire," provides a high-risk, high-reward option by discarding all attached Energy to Knock Out the Defending Pokémon at the end of the opponent's next turn. This dynamic makes the card interesting for both casual collection and strategic gameplay analysis. Collectors often seek this card number due to its association with the popular Roaring Skies subset. The Reverse Holo treatment adds a shimmering effect that complements the card's metallic typing without altering the base artwork. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of Pokémon TCG cards or looking to complete a specific subset, this Jirachi card represents a key component of the 2015 release.
