Alright this set plays a lot differently than the “Calm Mind Sweeper” set listed in the Jirachi analysis and I’ve seen a few of these sprouting up lately, so I figured it deserved its own peer edit. I’ve personally been using this set since adv (hp grass/ice punch back then) and it’s definitely been one of my favorite Jirachi sets and a staple on every single one of my Suspect Ladder teams.

<p>Jirachi may not seem fit for the job of all out sweeper given its average Speed and its access to boosting moves limited to Calm Mind. However, its amazing typing and natural bulkiness make it quite the force to be reckoned with. Jirachi’s multitude of resistances make getting that first Calm Mind a breeze and it sports amazing type coverage that can hit the majority of OU for super effective damage.</p>
<p>Psychic is your main attack and has a welcomed 20% chance of lowering your opponent’s Special Defense which makes beating special walls such as Snorlax and Blissey a very real possibility. Grass Knot covers those pesky Ground types who threaten to exploit one of Jirachi’s only two weaknesses, dealing an OHKO to both Hippowdon and Swampert after one Calm Mind.</p>
<p>The last move comes down to personal preference. Thunderbolt will OHKO Gyarados and does a reasonable job of weakening Heatran to open up yourself for a late game sweep. Hidden Power Ice will more than likely come as a surprise to Salamence, Dragonite and Gliscor, OHKOing all three after Stealth Rock damage, and will make beating Celebi a much easier endeavor. Hidden Power Fire, along with also beating Celebi fairly easily, is your best move against Steel types such as Metagross and Bronzong that can be quite a pain otherwise.</p>
<p>The EVs listed give Jirachi 308 Speed, outspeeding all positive natured base 90s and neutral natured base 100s, most notably Lucario and Salamence. Leftovers gives Jirachi staying power and makes taking it down after a couple Calm Minds a much more difficult task. However Life Orb is an option if you would much rather throw caution to the wind, however you’re much better off with Azelf or Gengar if that’s your philosophy.</p>
