[[Category:{{{type3}}}-type Pokémon|492]]
Shaymin (Japanese: シェイミ Shaymin) is a Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon.
It was not officially revealed until February of 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, which takes on the Template:Type2 as a secondary type.
Biology
Physiology
Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Its body is pure white. Its back is covered with green fur and has a pink flower on each side of its head. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon to date. According to the Pokédex height of 0'08", it is also among the smallest Pokémon in existence, with its comrades being Diglett, Natu, Azurill, Budew, Burmy and Chingling.
Shaymin reverting back at night and in the cold
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Shaymin has two forms. The first (Land Forme) is the original form seen in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions. The second is the Sky Forme which debuted in Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Shaymin will change into Sky Forme and back if it touches a Gracidea. Shaymin can't be in this form at night or if it has contact with ice. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a canine-like appearance. It has a small, slender body. The fur on its back appears to have shifted into a mohawk; it has a red flower petal on the right side of its neck, looking like a scarf or cape, and flat wing-like ears. It has a small ruff on the front of its neck and a stumpy tail.
Gender differences
Shaymin is genderless.
Special abilities
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. They can take in polluted air, purify it inside their bodies, break it down into water and light, and release the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. This ability is known as Seed Flare, their signature move. Its power varies on the type of pollution is absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others.
Behavior
Shaymin have a habitual trait called "Flower Bearing". Each season, Shaymin gather in a flower field somewhere and migrate from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying because a new field of flowers grow where they land. Shaymin are also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Their personalities are almost opposite with each form-- Land Forme is shy and easily scared, while Sky Forme is courageous and playful.
Habitat
Shaymin live in fields of flowers. Since a Shaymin camouflages by curling itself up, it can easily escape people's notice, similar to Geodude on rocky terrain.

Trivia
- Shaymin ties with Mew and Celebi for the highest catch rate among all legendary Pokémon, which usually have extremely low catch rates.
- Shaymin's Land Forme is the smallest legendary Pokémon, and one of the shortest Pokémon overall, tying with Diglett, Natu, Azurill, Budew, Burmy, and Chingling.
- Like Darkrai, though Shaymin was once thought to be an event-only legendary, both the Surf glitch and tweaking can get a player to the Flower Paradise without the event having been activated.
- This has been changed in Pokémon Platinum, as now Shaymin will not appear in the Flower Paradise if the event has not been activated.
- Land Forme Shaymin is the first pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
- Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it. It shares this with Cresselia, Latias, and Latios.
- 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.
- Marley makes brief references to Shaymin in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if spoken with during an excursion in Victory Road. She wants to reach the smooth rock on Route 224.
- 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 Route 224.
- Unlike most legendary Pokémon, Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with Mew and Celebi.
- Shaymin's Sky Forme has a different cry than its Land Forme, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow.
- Shaymin is one of two legendary Pokémon capable of using the F.E.A.R. strategy (the other is Mew).
- With the exception of Arceus, Shaymin is the last Template:Type2 in National Pokédex order. In its Sky Forme, it is the last Template:Type2 and the last dual-type Pokémon.
- In Sky Forme, Shaymin is the only legendary Flying-type Pokémon weak to Flying-type attacks.
Origin
Shaymin is based on a hedgehog. Its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a Chia Pet. Its Sky Forme shares most of its traits with a young terrier, but has a few features of a reindeer.
Name origin
Its name is possibly a combination of 謝 sha (thanks/gratitude) or ジェイド jeido (jade), which is one of Shaymin's most dominant colors, and 蝟 harinezumi (hedgehog). Also, shaman can be pronounced like Shaymin, so it may be like a mythical shaman. In addition, the name Shaymin may be a corruption of the Hebrew word Shamayim, which means "sky" and is the name of the first heaven in Jewish mysticism. This correlates directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.
