'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type|Grass}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].


It is not known to evolve into, or from any other Pokémon. However, it can change form.
While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from another Pokémon, Shaymin has a [[#Form data|second form]] activated by using a [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] in the [[time|daytime]]. Its original form, '''Land Forme''', will then become the {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type '''Sky Forme'''. Shaymin's Sky Forme will revert into and remain in its Land Forme during the night or when {{status|frozen}}. Other circumstances may also cause it to revert<!--Please do not expand here-->.


==Biology==
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data&rarr;Form data]] for these details.)
===Physiology===
[[Image:Shayminpanstickers.PNG|200x|thumb|left|Official Shaymin Land Form Deco-chara sticker art]]Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Its fur is pure white. It also has fluffy, green fur on its back, which looks just like grass; and small yellow seeds are nestled within the hairs. It has a pink flower on each side of its face which somewhat resemble [[Glacidea Flower]]s. Shaymin has a plump underside and stubby paws. Its spine is flexible, allowing it to quickly curl itself up with ease. Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon to date. According to the Pokédex figure of 0'08", it is also among the smallest Pokémon in existence, with its comrades being {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Chingling}}.


[[Image:Skyshayminpanstickers.PNG|200x|thumb|left|Official Shaymin Sky Form Deco-chara sticker art]]
Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed.
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Shaymin has [[Form differences#Shaymin|two forms]].  The first (Land Form) is the original form seen in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]]. The second is a new Sky Form which debuted in ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]''. Shaymin will automatically change into this form if it comes in contact with a [[Glacidea Flower]], but has been seen changing form at will in its {{pkmn|movie}}. Shaymin can't be in its Sky Form at night or if it's [[Frozen]]. Shaymin's Sky Form has a canine-like appearance. Its neck is covered in fur tufts and its tail is stubby. The fur on its back appears to have shifted into a mohawk. It has two red petals on one side of its neck, looking like a scarf or neckerchief of some sort, and flat wing-like ears. Its now longer legs have green fur covering them making it look as if Shaymin were wearing stockings.


==Biology==
[[File:Shaymin M11 flowers.png|thumb|left|250px|Land Forme Shaymin's extra petals]]
Shaymin is a small, white, {{wp|hedgehog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In Land Forme, it has green grass-like fur on its back and a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the [[Gracidea]] flower. More flowers appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses danger, it rapidly hides them again. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is one of the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.


====Gender differences====
[[File:Shaymin Land Forme toxic petals.png|thumb|250px|Land Forme Shaymin's petals after absorbing toxins]]
Shaymin is genderless.
Shaymin can instantly purify any polluted area of all impurities in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. It takes in the polluted air, purifies it inside its body, breaks it down into water and light, and releases the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. Its power varies based on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others.


====Special abilities====
Each season, Shaymin gathers with others in a flower field somewhere and migrates from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying, because a new field of flowers grow wherever it lands. Shaymin is also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Land Forme Shaymin has a shy personality and is easily scared. If wet, it shakes itself dry. It also exhibits the behavior of scratching itself with its hind leg. Shaymin lives in fields of flowers. Since it camouflages by curling itself up, it can easily escape people's notice. It has been observed to like sweet food.
Shaymin have the ability to instantly purify any ruined land of all pollutants in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. According to [[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin|the movie it debuted in]], any dirty air that Shaymin breathe in is exhaled as pure, clean air. However, if any poison is sucked into its flowers, it will seemingly explode. This ability is known as {{m|Seed Flare}} and the explosion is a result of the poison being purified from inside Shaymin's body. In addition, like several Legendary Pokémon, Shaymin were revealed to be able to communicate telepathically. In Japanese, its voice sounds like that of a little child, and it says ''deshu'' (Land Form) or ''desu'' (Sky Form) at the end of almost every sentence.


Shaymin is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Seed Flare}}.

===Behavior===
===Forms===
====Land Form====
[[File:Shaymin Sky Forme toxic petals.png|thumb|250px|Sky Forme Shaymin's petals after absorbing toxins]]
Shaymin have timid and curious natures. Like hedgehogs, they curl up into a ball if they sense a threat is near, or if something scares them. They will attempt to dry their fur by shaking rapidly. A content or relaxed Shaymin will sprout a few flowers out of its back, making it look like a tiny bouquet.
Shaymin has two forms it can change between: Land Forme and Sky Forme.


====Sky Form====
In Sky Forme, it has a slender, canine-like appearance. The fur on its back becomes a mohawk, and it has a red flower petal on the left side of its neck, resembling a scarf or cape. It has flat, white ears resembling wings, a small tuft of fur on the front of its neck, and a stumpy tail.
Shaymin have courageous and playful natures. If they come across an enemy, they won't be afraid to fight back. They are usually seen flying in groups.


===Habitat===
The blooming of [[Gracidea|Gracidea flowers]] confers the power of flight upon Shaymin, transforming it into its Sky Forme. It reverts to Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}. Sky Forme Shaymin has a courageous, energetic, and playful personality. It spreads feelings of gratitude when it takes flight. Sky Forme Shaymin has a deeper voice than Land Forme.
Shaymin live in fields of flowers. Since a Shaymin camouflages by curling itself up, Shaymin can easily escape people's notice-- the reason being that the fur on Shaymin's back resembles the grass and the flowers on its head resemble the flowers that usually surround it.

Like lots of wild Pokémon, Shaymin may eat things native to their environment like wild grasses and berries. In the anime, the Shaymin that {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} took care of was seen eating various things like [[Poffin]]s and pancakes.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: A tribe of Shaymin have made their [[Shaymin Village|home]] at near the trail leading to the top of the nearby [[Sky Peak]] mountain. An accompanying Shaymin demonstrates its ability to instantly purify polluted environments, its use of the [[Gracidea]] to transform into its {{form|Shaymin|Sky Forme}}, and can be recruited into the player's party after clearing the dungeon for a second time.

===Form data===
Shaymin has two forms it can change between: Land Forme, introduced in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and Sky Forme, introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.
 
Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color.
 
Sky Forme Shaymin will revert into and remain in its Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|frozen}}; Shaymin also changes back to Land Forme when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII onward), when deposited in {{g|Bank}} (but not {{g|HOME}}), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. If a frozen Shaymin in Sky Forme is holding a [[Lum Berry]] or an [[Aspear Berry]], it will eat the Berry after transforming back to Land Forme. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Sky Forme Shaymin will also revert to Land Forme when exposed to a Gracidea again, and will not revert into its Land Forme at night unless it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} during the night. {{status|Frostbite}} will also cause it to revert to Land Forme. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Sky Forme Shaymin will not revert into its Land Forme at night until after a battle.
 
The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, [[move]]s they can learn, and [[cry|cries]].
 
In [[Generation IV]], Sky Forme Shaymin's cry cannot be played in the [[Pokédex]], due to it only registering the first form encountered. As wild or traded Shaymin will be in Land Forme and Pokémon aren't registered in link battles, it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin. The only cry used for Shaymin in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} is the one of its Land Forme.

===Major appearances===
====[[Shaymin (M11)]]====
Shaymin debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from {{mov|Giratina}}. It thought that Giratina wanted to eat it, but in reality, the Renegade Pokémon wanted to use Shaymin's {{m|Seed Flare}} to open a portal from the [[Reverse World]] to the [[Pokémon world|real world]]. It appeared in both of its Formes in the {{pkmn|movie}}. This Shaymin had the ability to {{pkmn2|Talking|talk}} via telepathy.
 
====[[Mallow's Shaymin]]====
In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', a Shaymin encountered {{an|Mallow}} after being drawn to her strong feelings of gratitude towards [[Mallow's mother|her late mother]]. Mallow took care of it until ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', where Shaymin was exposed to some Gracideas, transforming into its Sky Forme, and then flew away. This Shaymin was unique in that, in its Sky Forme, its eyes resembled the eyes of Mallow's mother, instead of those of a regular Shaymin.
 
====Other====
Shaymin made its main series debut in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'', where [[Marley]] was protecting it from {{TRT}}. She, along with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, then spent the majority of the episode trying to take Shaymin to a flower field so it could reunite with its friends.
 
===Minor appearances===
A Shaymin appeared in its Land Forme during the ending credits in ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.
 
Three Shaymin appeared in their Sky Formes in ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', where they greeted the Shaymin Mallow had been taking care of and accompanied it during its departure.

'''NA''': ''When in its Land Forme, this Pokémon sports a fetching pink flower. In Sky Forme, it can take to the air with ease. This Legendary Pokémon is hard to find, but it can sense anyone with a grateful heart. This ability is where the name "Gratitude Pokémon" comes from.''
 
'''PAL''': ''No wonder this Mythical Pokémon is so hard to find! In its Land Forme, it looks just like a flowery patch of grass. Good luck spotting that in a field! Shaymin has two different forms, though, and in Sky Forme, it can fly. In both forms, Shaymin reacts to gratitude, hence its nickname: the Gratitude Pokémon.'

Shaymin appears as {{sbw|Spirits}} in its Land Forme and Sky Forme.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Shaymin ties with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}} for the highest [[catch rate]] among all [[legendary Pokémon]]; {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are distinct from the aforementioned three in tying with many other legendary Pokémon for the lowest catch rate among all Pokémon.  
* Despite being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Wild Pokémon)]]'' plays while battling it in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
* Shaymin's Land Form is the smallest legendary Pokémon, and one of the shortest Pokémon overall, tying with {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Chingling}}.
* Shaymin Sky Forme is the only {{type|Flying}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Sky Plate]].
* This is the second event legendary Pokémon which was thought only to be received at a [[Nintendo event]]. However, in the Japanese version of Diamond/Pearl, it can be caught through [[Surf glitch|a glitch]] involving {{m|Surf}} in the room of the first Elite Four member. Likewise, in other language versions, [[Tweaking|another glitch]] is said to get the player to reach [[Seabreak Path]] and [[Flower Paradise]] as well.
* From [[Generation IV]] to {{gen|VI}}, it is impossible to use Shaymin's Sky Forme in the [[Battle Spot]] or in online competitions that allow Mythical Pokémon. This is because only Pokémon stored in the [[PC]] can be used and Shaymin would revert to Land Forme as soon as deposited. In [[Generation VII]], this was changed so that Sky Forme can be deposited into the PC and only revert to Land Forme when withdrawn.
* Land Form Shaymin is the first pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
* Due to a [[glitch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it was possible to reach [[Flower Paradise]] and catch Shaymin without [[Oak's Letter]]. This was patched in version 1.1.2.
* Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it.
** This glitch was the only method of obtaining a shiny Shaymin without the event, as the Shaymin in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is Shiny-locked.
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all.
* Shaymin requires [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield]] save data to be caught in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, despite not being available in either of the former.
* [[Marley]] makes brief references to Shaymin if spoken with during an excursion in {{si|Victory Road}}. She wants to reach the smooth rock on {{rt|224}}.
* Shaymin Sky Forme is the only Pokémon introduced in {{game|Platinum}} that the player can legitimately own multiple of in [[Generation IV]].
* Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in [[Floaroma Town]] states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With [[Oak's Letter]] Shaymin will lead the player to [[Flower Paradise]] after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on {{rt|224}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is a unique animation for Shaymin transforming into its Land Forme if it is [[Walking Pokémon|walking with the player]] when the [[time]] changes to night.
*When ''[[Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin]]'' premiered in Japan, an [[event]] Shaymin is available at theaters from July 19 to September 30, 2008. Shaymin is at [[level]] 50 and is holding a {{b|Micle}}. It is contained in a [[Poké Ball#Generation IV Poké Balls|Cherish Ball]], with the [[Original Trainer|OT]] of '''えいがかん''' ''Movie Theatre'' and an [[Trainer ID number|ID No.]] of '''07198'''. It has its [[signature move]], {{m|Seed Flare}}, at an earlier level, namely 50, the level at which it is received.
* Unlike most [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]], Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Both of Shaymin's Forms have the same abilities as {{p|Happiny}} and its evolutions.
*Shaymin's Sky Form has a different [[cry]] than its Land Form, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.
*Shaymin is one of two Legendary Pokémon capable of using the [[F.E.A.R.]] strategy (the other is {{p|Mew}}).
*With the exception of {{p|Arceus}}, Shaymin is the last {{type2|Grass}} in [[National Pokédex]] order. In its Sky Form, it is the last {{type2|Flying}} and the last dual type Pokémon.


===Hoax===
===Origin===
A hoax perpetrated by PurpleKecleon, an artist on deviantART, brought a version of Shaymin's Sky Form, with a more feminine appearance than its real Sky Form, to the fandom. This fake Sky Form was passed around several Pokémon websites and assumed real until [[PokéBeach]] confirmed that it was fake.
Shaymin's Land Forme is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back make it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. It may also be inspired by flower meadows or flower gardens. Moreover, when Land Forme Shaymin blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which are commonly given as a sign of thankfulness, emphasizing Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. The flower on its body resembles a [[Gracidea]] and could be based on a {{wp|hydrangea}}, particularly the {{wp|Hydrangea macrophylla|bigleaf hydrangea}}. It also shares, together with the leaves on its Sky Forme's neck, similarities with a {{wp|poinsettia}}, a popular Christmas flower.


===Leaking===
Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects, like antlers, that resemble {{wp|reindeer}} and the ability to fly could be based on {{wp|Santa Claus's reindeer}}, but its sprightly behavior, an affinity for flowers, and the ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|angel}}s and {{wp|fairy|fairies}}. Due to its healing abilities, it could also be based on a {{wp|guardian angel}}. Given the appearance of the flower around its neck resembling the knot of a {{wp|neckerchief}}, the resemblance to the green of its legs to boots or gloves, ability to fly, and more confident attitude seen in the anime, Sky Forme Shaymin may be inspired by superheroes, particularly those in the Japanese sentai genre.
Before Shaymin's Sky Form was officialy revealed, a photo of a drink tumbler decorated with several Pokémon, including Sky Form, was shown on a [[Pokémon Festa]] page. The page was taken down moments afterward, because Shaymin's new form was accidentally shown to the public. Several people had already known about the tumbler already, however. It was assumed and later proven that it was Shaymin's Sky Form.


===Origin===
Shaymin's ability to convert toxic gases into fresh air may be a reference to the {{wp|environmentalism|environmentalist}} practice of removing pollution from nature for a healthier ecosystem. It could also be a reference to plants filtering non-breathable {{wp|carbon dioxide}} from the atmosphere into breathable {{wp|oxygen}}, or {{wp|decomposer|decomposer organisms}} converting decaying or waste materials into nutrient-rich soil for future plant growth. Its ability to transform land into a flower field in combination with its Flying-type could also be a reference to {{wp|pollen}} and {{wp|spore}}s in the air or in the wind {{wp|seed dispersal#Wind|floating seeds}}.
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. Its white body and the grasslike fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|chia pet}}. Its Sky Form shares traits with a {{wp|terrier}} and a {{wp|reindeer}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Its name may come from the word ''{{wp|shame}}'', as it is a very shy and elusive Pokémon. It may also be derived from ''{{wp|shaman}}''. The English name also is a slight alteration of its Japanese name. Its katakana name contains 実''mi'', which means ''seed'' in Japanese. Furthermore, its name may be a combination of 感謝 ''kansha'', thanks or gratitude, and 針鼠 ''harinezumi'', hedgehog.
Shaymin is from 謝謝 ''xièxie'' (Chinese for ''thanks'').<ref>[https://lineblog.me/masudajunichi/archives/4073542.html Junichi Masuda's Official Blog on Line] (Japanese)</ref> It may also be derived from 蝟 ''harinezumi'' (hedgehog) and םשמי ''{{wp|Shamayim}}'' (Hebrew for ''heaven'') with the latter correlating directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

Shaymin (Japanese: シェイミ Shaymin) is a Grass-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

While it is not known to evolve into or from another Pokémon, Shaymin has a second form activated by using a Gracidea flower in the daytime. Its original form, Land Forme, will then become the Grass/Flying-type Sky Forme. Shaymin's Sky Forme will revert into and remain in its Land Forme during the night or when frozen. Other circumstances may also cause it to revert.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Form data for these details.)

Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008, when it was listed as a star of Giratina and the Sky Warrior. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed.

Biology

Land Forme Shaymin's extra petals

Shaymin is a small, white, hedgehog-like Pokémon. In Land Forme, it has green grass-like fur on its back and a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the Gracidea flower. More flowers appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses danger, it rapidly hides them again. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is one of the shortest Grass-type Pokémon.

Land Forme Shaymin's petals after absorbing toxins

Shaymin can instantly purify any polluted area of all impurities in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. It takes in the polluted air, purifies it inside its body, breaks it down into water and light, and releases the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. Its power varies based on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others.

Each season, Shaymin gathers with others in a flower field somewhere and migrates from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying, because a new field of flowers grow wherever it lands. Shaymin is also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Land Forme Shaymin has a shy personality and is easily scared. If wet, it shakes itself dry. It also exhibits the behavior of scratching itself with its hind leg. Shaymin lives in fields of flowers. Since it camouflages by curling itself up, it can easily escape people's notice. It has been observed to like sweet food.

Shaymin is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Seed Flare.

Forms

Sky Forme Shaymin's petals after absorbing toxins

Shaymin has two forms it can change between: Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In Sky Forme, it has a slender, canine-like appearance. The fur on its back becomes a mohawk, and it has a red flower petal on the left side of its neck, resembling a scarf or cape. It has flat, white ears resembling wings, a small tuft of fur on the front of its neck, and a stumpy tail.

The blooming of Gracidea flowers confers the power of flight upon Shaymin, transforming it into its Sky Forme. It reverts to Land Forme at night or if it is frozen. Sky Forme Shaymin has a courageous, energetic, and playful personality. It spreads feelings of gratitude when it takes flight. Sky Forme Shaymin has a deeper voice than Land Forme.

Game data

NPC appearances

  • Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: A tribe of Shaymin have made their home at near the trail leading to the top of the nearby Sky Peak mountain. An accompanying Shaymin demonstrates its ability to instantly purify polluted environments, its use of the Gracidea to transform into its Sky Forme, and can be recruited into the player's party after clearing the dungeon for a second time.

Form data

Shaymin has two forms it can change between: Land Forme, introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and Sky Forme, introduced in Pokémon Platinum.

Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is Grass-type and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a Gracidea, Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is Grass/Flying-type and white in color.

Sky Forme Shaymin will revert into and remain in its Land Forme at night or if it is frozen; Shaymin also changes back to Land Forme when deposited in the PC (prior to Generation VII), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII onward), when deposited in Pokémon Bank (but not Pokémon HOME), or when deposited in the Pokémon Day Care or Pokémon Nursery. If a frozen Shaymin in Sky Forme is holding a Lum Berry or an Aspear Berry, it will eat the Berry after transforming back to Land Forme. In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Sky Forme Shaymin will also revert to Land Forme when exposed to a Gracidea again, and will not revert into its Land Forme at night unless it enters a battle during the night. Frostbite will also cause it to revert to Land Forme. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Sky Forme Shaymin will not revert into its Land Forme at night until after a battle.

The two forms have different base stats, Abilities, types, moves they can learn, and cries.

In Generation IV, Sky Forme Shaymin's cry cannot be played in the Pokédex, due to it only registering the first form encountered. As wild or traded Shaymin will be in Land Forme and Pokémon aren't registered in link battles, it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin. The only cry used for Shaymin in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs is the one of its Land Forme.

Major appearances

Shaymin (M11)

Shaymin debuted in Giratina and the Sky Warrior, where it was fleeing from Giratina. It thought that Giratina wanted to eat it, but in reality, the Renegade Pokémon wanted to use Shaymin's Seed Flare to open a portal from the Reverse World to the real world. It appeared in both of its Formes in the movie. This Shaymin had the ability to talk via telepathy.

Mallow's Shaymin

In Memories in the Mist!, a Shaymin encountered Mallow after being drawn to her strong feelings of gratitude towards her late mother. Mallow took care of it until Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, where Shaymin was exposed to some Gracideas, transforming into its Sky Forme, and then flew away. This Shaymin was unique in that, in its Sky Forme, its eyes resembled the eyes of Mallow's mother, instead of those of a regular Shaymin.

Other

Shaymin made its main series debut in Keeping In Top Forme!, where Marley was protecting it from Team Rocket. She, along with Ash and his friends, then spent the majority of the episode trying to take Shaymin to a flower field so it could reunite with its friends.

Minor appearances

Three Shaymin appeared in their Sky Formes in Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, where they greeted the Shaymin Mallow had been taking care of and accompanied it during its departure.

Trophy information

NA: When in its Land Forme, this Pokémon sports a fetching pink flower. In Sky Forme, it can take to the air with ease. This Legendary Pokémon is hard to find, but it can sense anyone with a grateful heart. This ability is where the name "Gratitude Pokémon" comes from.

PAL: No wonder this Mythical Pokémon is so hard to find! In its Land Forme, it looks just like a flowery patch of grass. Good luck spotting that in a field! Shaymin has two different forms, though, and in Sky Forme, it can fly. In both forms, Shaymin reacts to gratitude, hence its nickname: the Gratitude Pokémon.'

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Shaymin appears as Spirits in its Land Forme and Sky Forme.

Trivia

Origin

Shaymin's Land Forme is based on a hedgehog. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back make it somewhat resemble a Chia Pet as well. It may also be inspired by flower meadows or flower gardens. Moreover, when Land Forme Shaymin blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which are commonly given as a sign of thankfulness, emphasizing Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. The flower on its body resembles a Gracidea and could be based on a hydrangea, particularly the bigleaf hydrangea. It also shares, together with the leaves on its Sky Forme's neck, similarities with a poinsettia, a popular Christmas flower.

Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects, like antlers, that resemble reindeer and the ability to fly could be based on Santa Claus's reindeer, but its sprightly behavior, an affinity for flowers, and the ability to fly bring to mind angels and fairies. Due to its healing abilities, it could also be based on a guardian angel. Given the appearance of the flower around its neck resembling the knot of a neckerchief, the resemblance to the green of its legs to boots or gloves, ability to fly, and more confident attitude seen in the anime, Sky Forme Shaymin may be inspired by superheroes, particularly those in the Japanese sentai genre.

Shaymin's ability to convert toxic gases into fresh air may be a reference to the environmentalist practice of removing pollution from nature for a healthier ecosystem. It could also be a reference to plants filtering non-breathable carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into breathable oxygen, or decomposer organisms converting decaying or waste materials into nutrient-rich soil for future plant growth. Its ability to transform land into a flower field in combination with its Flying-type could also be a reference to pollen and spores in the air or in the wind floating seeds.

Name origin

Shaymin is from 謝謝 xièxie (Chinese for thanks).[1] It may also be derived from 蝟 harinezumi (hedgehog) and םשמי Shamayim (Hebrew for heaven) with the latter correlating directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.
