How do I get Jirachi PMD on Sky?

Since no one has mentioned about this thing yet, I did this post about it. Anyway...

Apparently an exploit involving Jirachi’s Challenge Letter has been discovered, which can be manipulated to unlock almost any dungeon in the game by using Wonder Mail Generator. This includes dungeons that player wouldn’t normally get access from crossroads like the dungeons after midpoint, unused/demo dungeons and ”first visit only” -dungeons.

Why Jirachi’s Challenge Letter?

Jirachi’s Challenge Letter is the only one, that unlocks a new dungeon (Star Cave) when accepted from Job List and can also be re-generated with Wonder Mail Generator multiple times. What game developers didn’t take account, that players could manipulate the mission by changing dungeon location from Star Cave to other dungeons in the game and thus unlocking them.

What are the requirements?

Before you can do manipulation with Jirachi’s Challenge Letter, you must

  • Obtain the Secret Rank

  • Complete Special Episode 1: ”Bidoof’s Wish”

How this is beneficial?

With this exploit you can unlock dungeons faster from Spinda’s Cafe/Recycle Shop saving your time from Gummi grinding and recycling. You could get access to normally inaccessible dungeons, that may have recruitable Pokémon with better spawn rates than in their usual locations. Very useful for ReA speedruns. Most notable dungeons are:

  • Forest Path: Swinub, Houndour and Kricketot (16,67% for each). There’s also Linoone (16,66%), but you can easily recruit Zigzagoon from Foggy Forest and evolve it after few level ups.

  • Little Plains (demo dungeon): Pichu has 25% spawn rate here. Way better than in Amp Plains.

  • Mt Clear (demo dungeon): Diglett, Skarmory and Kricketot (25% for each).

  • Challenge River (demo dungeon): Magikarp, Vaporeon and Azurill (20% for each).

  • Trial Forest (demo dungeon): Snorlax and Togekiss both have 25% spawn rate here.

  • Guiding Sea (demo dungeon): Wailmer with 25% spawn rate.

  • Hidden Shopkeeper Village (demo dungeon): Cleffa and Igglybuff both have 50% spawn rate here. Way better than in Marine Resort.

Skipping and reversing post-game story progress

There’s been some testing to see, if doing story skips in post-game actually benefits in speedruns. From what I have seen, I could say that story progression could get really messed up, if you skipped story dungeons and visit them later by doing them in reversal order to get recruits. If you reverse your story progress, you may have to unlock dungeons again with WM and some entries from Bidoof's and Sunflora's diaries may also disappear.

Surrounded Sea seems to be completely safe to skip. You don't have to get Blue Gummies for Manaphy, as you could still unlock Miracle Sea with WM and progress with the story normally. If you later visit SS and pick the Wonder Egg, Manaphy's story won't trigger and the Wonder Egg is still in your inventory. You can even sell the egg to Kecleon or recycle it. Messing the story progress with other dungeons seems risky though, as it could ruin your save file.

If you do story skip and then reverse the story progress after defeating Darkrai at Dark Crater, following events are no longer possible to trigger, since you can't retrigger Darkrai boss fight at Dark Crater:

  • Recruiting Cresselia in Sharpedo Bluff

  • Cutscene of Manaphy returning and joining your team

  • Cutscene of unlocking Marine Resort, which is also required to enable Secret Slab/Mystery Part legendaries such Zapdos to spawn in dungeons

  • Unlocking the ability to evolve player/partner

Other notes

Not all dungeons seem to work with the manipulation and some WM codes may even crash the game. There’s also unused ”Dummy” dungeon(s), which seem to be glitchy and can also cause game to crash. Use this on your own risk!

My thoughts

I was surprised how this "glitch" wasn’t discovered until recently. This reminds me of the event dungeons from RRT/BRT, which you had to unlock with Wonder Mail codes.

What do you think about this?
