10 Rare Pokémon You Only Had ONE CHANCE To Catch

4. Wishmaker Jirachi - Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire

While being a decent game in its own right, Pokémon Colosseum experienced a record number of pre-orders thanks to a cross-promotion the game had with the Generation III handheld games.

If players were quick enough to secure a copy of Colosseum at certain outlets, they would receive a bonus disc along with their copy of the game. Not only did it contain preview material for the upcoming Jirachi: Wishmaker film, but also a code to download the little critter.

This of course made Wishmaker Jirachi incredibly rare, and even though the disc allowed for multiple downloads, its limited circulation made it a much sought-after addition to the roster.

Rarer still were the Japanese versions of this bonus disc, which contained an Ageto Celebi and a Colosseum Pikachu, and these discs alone fetch ludicrous prices online even to this day.

As such, while you can technically get these Pokémon any time you want, you're going to have to pay through the nose to do so!
