Prerequisites

Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire: The save file must have entered the hall of fame. It must also match the Language you have set Pokemon Channel to. IE, and English game can work with English channel. Region does not matter, US games work. Only region that does not work is Japanese.

Pokemon Channel European Version: This is the only version that gives out a Jirachi.

If in NTSC Region(USA,CA, Mexico, Japan): A way to play PAL games. Easiest way is hacked Wii or Freeloader GC Disc.

GBA to GC Link cable: This is to connect the GBA so you may receive Jirachi.

GBA: This is because the Nintendo DS does not have a link cable port for GBA.

Finding a Target Seed

Search for your target Jirachi using ChannelJirachiSearch.I suggest finding multiple spreads you like. You'll be copying from the "Start Seed" Column.

Those in the "pa" column are difficult to obtain without using Paint Advancement.

Finding your Initial Seed

Load Pokemon Channel and select "Options" right away.

While there, open ChannelSeedSearch.

Select brute force seed, and then when you go back to the main menu, watch the order the "New game/Options/Continue/Special" options appear, and input them in the order they appeared in "Title Pattern". Then, go back into "Options" In Pokemon Channel. Repeat this 10 times, then hit Calc. The "Redo" Button will delete the current row of Title Pattern you input, just in-case you make a mistake. The "Clear" Button will remove all current rows you have input.

It will find a seed shortly.

|Initial Seed Range| - This is a secondary method to finding initial seed, and is only marginally faster than Brute Force Seed

The initial seed range may be shrunken by consistently loading the gamecube or wii at the same date/time/second repeatedly. This is a bit slow on the Nintendo Wii, as you have to go into the Wii options every time. However on the gamecube it is quick because you can hold the "A" button down aftet you hit reset to access the menu quickly.

The process is as follows:

Set date/time to any date you'd like, and when you hit "A" to confirm your date, start a 30 second timer and go until you are at the start game section of the gamecube. When the timer hits 0, start Pokemon Channel. From here, find your initial seed with Brute Force Seed. Do this a few times so you may have an initial seed range. Once you find a comfortable range, set it in the "Initial Seed Range" button. Once you have done this, the initial seed search will go much faster than previously because you have shrunken the search window.


Seed Distance


Once you have found your initial seed, go to the "Seed Distance" tab in ChannelSeedSearch. In the "Seed" Box, paste your current seed. In frame range, set how many frames you're willing to wait. Most Jirachi frames are far away, so I reccomend a high range like 999999999. For example, around 10,000,000 frames is 24 hours(It may vary because of the inconsistent nature of frame advancement). In the Target seed box, paste all the seeds you like from the "Start Seed" Column in ChannelJirachiSearch. If a Jirachi is close enough for your liking, continue. If not, reset the gamecube or Wii and repeat the seed finding step until a Jirachi is on a closer frame.


Frame Advancement

Egg Channel

Egg channel advances 112 frames per second in the Desert, and 103 per second in the Pond. Also, the frames advance very quickly while an egg is hatching, so please keep this in mind. On top of this, if an Egg hatches and you are not there, it may switch to a different channel, so pay attention to how long the egg has to hatch.

Report Channel

The report channel advances 52 frames per second. Best used for smaller distances, usually less than 100k. But it is also good for overnight uses if you do not have a long timer on your egg channel and you must rest.

The way to calculate how long you must wait is simple. Take the number of frames you must advance and divide by the number of frames per second advanced. Then, divide by 60. This will be how many minutes you must wait. I suggest a lot of leeway with this. Undershoot your target by several thousand frames.

Example:

4010626 is the amount of frames until Jirachi. -10,000 is 4000626. Divided by 112 for Desert Report channel is 35719.875. Divided by 60 is roughly 10 hours.

Once your advances are done, return to the main menu with the report channel. After this, go into "Options" again. On ChannelSeedSearch, in "Current Seed" Tab, select "Frame range from Seed". Paste your initial seed in that box, then set a frame window. You may do 0- Whatever the frame you were aiming to hit was. (In this case, it was 0-4010626). Then, leave options by hitting B and do title pattern a few times as you did when finding your initial seed. It does not need to be 10 times. I would check after 3 or 4, and if there is more than 1 result, continue until there is only 1.


Once this is done, paste your new current seed into the seed distance "Seed" box, and hit calc. If your frame is more than 5000 away, you must go back to using the report or egg channel for advances again. I suggest report since you are most likely closer now. Repeat this process until you are within 5000 frames of your target.

Seed Advancer

Once within 5000 frames, go to the "Seed Advancer" tab, and paste your current seed in the upper box, and your target seed in the lower box. If you have been using paint advancements this time, check the "Consider Paint" Box. It will then print out a list of actions you must take to get to your Target seed.

All of these actions are from within the "Options" screen already.

TITLE: Return to title screen->Go into "Options"

Reject Jirachi: Select "Jirachi", but say no to receiving it. Then go back into "Options".

Special: Return to title screen-> Select "Special" -> Hit start immediatly, then "End". Return to "Options".

Paint: Return to title screen -> Select "Special" -> Open and close paint for the number of times listed. Select "End" then go back to "Options".

Receive Jirachi: Receive a Jirachi.

About Paint

When you enter Paint, you do it by going to the Title Screen -> Special -> and hitting START and selecting the Paint option. The first time you do this after loading the game, the seed is set to 0x00008000. After that, the seed can be advanced according to the Paint column from whatever your current seed is. If it is your first time in paint, please select first time.
