During the Tanabata Festival in Japan, the Pokémon Company will distribute a limited-edition Shiny Jirachi.
From 1st August until 31st August inclusive, trainers will be able to pop into the Tohoku Pokémon Center and download a level 10 Shiny Jirachi, complete with the moves "Wish", "Swift", "Healing Wish" and "Moonblast" and will also be carrying a "Star Piece" with it.
The Tanabata (Japanese star) Festival celebrates deities Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair), with the legend being that the Milky Way galaxy separates the two lovers.
