One of the rarest Pokemon in Pokemon GO is, without a doubt, the Wish Pokemon Jirachi. This Legendary Pokemon is notorious for being gated behind paid events or Special Research quests, only to vanish for months at a time. That almost makes it true to canon, considering Jirachi has a habit of slumbering for 1,000 years at a time. But for a brief time, you’re able to make this Pokemon yours. Here’s how to get Jirachi in Pokemon GO.

Jirachi will be part of the Pokemon GO Tour: Hoenn edition. This special event will be hosted in Las Vegas, and not only will you have a chance to obtain Jirachi, you can getShiny Jirachi in Pokemon GOfor the first time.

But if Las Vegas is a little too far to travel for you, don’t despair. You can still get Jirachi! You’ll just need to cough up $5 to do it.
