The player can only obtain it if they have a Shaymin given away at a Nintendo event in their party.

It has also been confirmed by a few people that if using an [[Action Replay]] to cheat for both [[Oak's Letter]] and Cherish Balls, a Gracidea flower may be obtained. By capturing Shaymin with a Cherish Ball, the game is tricked into believing that the Shaymin was obtained from a from a Nintendo Event.
 
If you catch the Shaymin on the Flower Paradise in Pokémon Platinum, regardless if you caught it in a Cherish Ball or not, it can be used to receive the Gracidea Flower and can change into the Sky Forme because it will have "Had a fateful encounter at Lv. 30." on it's summary.
 
Here is a list of the Shaymin that can unlock the flower and change into Sky Forme:
 
- Platinum in-game caught Shaymin (Flower Paradise.)
- TRU Shaymin
- Eigakan Shaymin
- Movie11 Shaymin
- Film11 Shaymin
- Peli11 Shaymin
 
Here is a list of those that CANNOT unlock the flower nor use it:
 
- D/P in-game caught Shaymin (Regardless if they were obtained with the Surf/Tweaking glitch or hacking the Oak's Letter event.)
- AR code-caught Shaymin.

If you were looking for the flower with the same name, see Gracidea (flower).

Gracidea (Japanese: グラシデア) is a vast area located in Sinnoh. It is near the top of a mountain. Shaymin, along with others of its species, lives here. If a Shaymin touches one of the flowers native to this place, it will immediately change Forme.

In the anime

Gracidea was featured in Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Shaymin was in a rush to get there in time for "flower bearing", a ritual where many Shaymin gather, transform into Sky Forme, and fly away to start a new Gracidea garden in a faraway place.

The Gracidea garden featured in the movie was located at the base of a glacier, and was threatened with destruction when Zero's actions in the Reverse World caused it to start moving. A Regigigas, who inhabited a temple in the mountains of Gracidea, awoke just in time to help stop the impending disaster. In the English dub, the Gracidea garden was also referred to as the "flower garden".

In the games

Gracidea did not appear in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but its equivalent is the Flower Paradise, as Shaymin can be found there in the games and there are plenty of flowers, just like Gracidea. In Pokémon Platinum, the Gracidea is given to the player by a lady in Floaroma Town. The player can only obtain it if they have a Shaymin given away at a Nintendo event in their party.


If you catch the Shaymin on the Flower Paradise in Pokémon Platinum, regardless if you caught it in a Cherish Ball or not, it can be used to receive the Gracidea Flower and can change into the Sky Forme because it will have "Had a fateful encounter at Lv. 30." on it's summary.

Here is a list of the Shaymin that can unlock the flower and change into Sky Forme:

- Platinum in-game caught Shaymin (Flower Paradise.) - TRU Shaymin - Eigakan Shaymin - Movie11 Shaymin - Film11 Shaymin - Peli11 Shaymin

Here is a list of those that CANNOT unlock the flower nor use it:

- D/P in-game caught Shaymin (Regardless if they were obtained with the Surf/Tweaking glitch or hacking the Oak's Letter event.) - AR code-caught Shaymin.

Trivia

Gracidea's name may come from the word "gratitude", because Shaymin is the Gratitude Pokémon. It might also come from a combination of the Latin words gracilis, modest, and dea, goddess.
