I assume this card is selling so well because it is useful in a deck and it is limited in availability. Are there other reasons this could be selling so fast? I just ask as even Ancient Mew never sold this well

Those attacks, especially the first, is extremely useful in the current Meta. @fourthstartcg could elaborate on this.

Holy crap you have sold almost 200… Jack up the price man!

I thought about increasing the price and did by $1 briefly but brought it back down. While getting more would be great, I would rather them sell while they are hot than be stuck with them. I pretty much bought them for the packs. I thought that the Hawlucha would do really well, so I was surprised when it was the other card and not that one that was doing well.

The Jirachi has sold almost 200 in the single listing and right at 200 in the 4x(50 lots) combo. I am having to restock 40 of these every morning, which is insane if you ask me.

I do not know anything about “Meta”. Is that some form of format for playing the game?

Meta (Metagame) is a blanket term to describe the current standing of the TCG, what is a useful card, what isn’t a useful card, which decks are played, what is relevant etc.

So in the current ‘Meta’, that card is extremely useful because it takes away Special Energy from your opponent, and Special Energy is very big in the Meta right now.

The first attack is all that this card is being used for.

Many fast, “Tier-1” decks rely on special energy, as do dome slow lock decks. Jirachi is a very easy tech into any deck as it is a Basic Pokemon and its attack requires only colorless energy. Jirachi can be used to slow down Night March and Vespiquen (which nearly exclusively attack with DCEs) and can also hinder Giratina/Vileplume decks as well, discarding their Double Dragon Energies and DCEs.

In short, this card is incredibly useful given the current powerful decks that are out there (the “meta”). I would recommend you raise your price as you are likely one of the few bulk suppliers of this card.
