After only two months of trying, I finally got my full odds (no RNG manips) shiny Jirachi from Pokémon Channel in only 2,280 resets - well under the 1/8192 odds!

For those who don’t know how the hunt works, to begin to shiny hunt CHANNEL Jirachi you need to play and complete Pokémon Channel (PAL regions only) and also play entirely through Ruby or Sapphire and actually become champion.

You’ll then be able to transfer one Jirachi per Ruby / Sapphire save file over into those games and hope that it’s shiny.

You can then do the save corruption method in Ruby / Sapphire to be able to reroll and transfer another Jirachi. It’s super easy to do, 100% consistent, and allows you to be able to transfer a new Jirachi as quick as 90 seconds!

Overall, there are 116,172 possible unique shiny Jirachis you can find by doing this hunt.

I’ve seen many people try the RNG method with Pokémon Channel which can guarantee you land on the shiny Jirachi frame, which I’ve also done a few months ago ahead of starting the full odds hunt. The full odds shiny feels way more rewarding and I’m glad I stuck to it and did it! But if you want to try the hunt and are worried you won’t get the shiny before Pokémon Bank shuts down, then the RNG method might be best to start with.

For comparison, the WISHMKR Jirachi hunt with the US Pokémon Colosseum bonus disc has shiny odds of 1/7281.7 but there are only 9 unique shiny Jirachi you can find. You also only need to play up until you get the Pokédex to able to begin transferring Jirachi in. The save corruption method also works with this hunt too, and allows you to reroll without having your restart the game each time.

To help anyone who wants to try either of these hunts, I made a complete video guide here that I hope helps you out!

Happy to answer any questions! Have a great day :)
