Shiny Leaf
The Shiny Leaf (Japanese: かがやくはっぱ Shining Leaf) is an item found in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. It is a very rare item that can be found by the player's Pokémon when walking around. When it is found by a Pokémon, it will have no apparent presence other than in that Pokémon's status screen. When a Shiny Leaf is shown to the player's friend (Lyra or Ethan), she/he will explain about them and request for the player to bring four more. When the player shows her/him a single Pokémon with five Shiny Leaves attached to it, she/he will then award the player with a star for his or her Trainer card and a certificate that can be viewed when the player speaks to their childhood friend. She/He will then craft the Leaves into a Leaf Crown, which can be seen on that Pokémon's status screen in the same spot the shiny leaves were.
A Pokémon can find a Shiny Leaf while being in the grassy area of a route, but the specific route a certain Pokémon can find one depends solely on its nature. However, because of its rarity, a Pokémon is not guaranteed to find a Shiny Leaf, even when the route and nature match. Therefore, the player should check their Pokémon frequently to make sure a Leaf can be found in that area. Whenever a Shiny Leaf is found, upon examination, the Pokémon will have an exclamation mark above its head, do a dance swaying from right to left, then finish off with a green musical note above its head.
Each Pokémon can only find one Shiny Leaf per route.

The letters accompanying each route denotes the position of that route's leaf on the Pokémon's summary screen. A represents the leaf furthest to the left, E the furthest to the right.
