[edit] Appearance and Facts

Shaymin, unlike most Pokémon, is able to change back and forth between two forms, a land and a sky form. Both of which have their own unique appearance and abilities. Shaymin's Land form has a hedgehog-like appearance. Its body/fur is pure white and on its back it has green grass along with pink flowers growing on the sides of its head. It is also relatively small, being only 0'08" in height according to the Pokédex which means land form Shaymin is probably one of the smallest Pokémon.

Shaymin's Sky Form is almost completely different from its Land Form. In this form, Shaymin has a dog-like appearance, and it is also larger. It's legs are much longer and are now a green colour. The green grass-like fur is now confined to its head and fashioned similar to a mohawk. It's ears are now very long, appearing almost like wings. On the back of its neck are two red petals that resemble a scarf.

Shaymin is the third God Pokemon, it created all the light, land, and water in the Universe. Unlike Arceus, Shaymin does not have an Unbeatable Forme but it can be powerful if trainers train it to its fullest extend. But if you train it wrong it can not be as useful as before. Shaymin is also the only pokemon to be classified as a God Pokemon, with Arceus and Darkrai.

[edit] Anime

Shaymin has not yet made an appearance in the anime series, though it was featured in a Pokémon Movie. In the 11th Pokémon Movie, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, Shaymin was given a starring role. The movie was also the debut appearance of Sky Forme Shaymin.

[edit] Games

Shaymin debuted in the games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. However, it has so far, only been obtainable through events such as the 11th movie event in Japan, and the Toys "R" Us giveaway. It is also soon to be given away in the UK through some GAME stores to celebrate the release of Pokémon Platinum.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Shaymin is obtainable at the Flower Paradise location. The only way to access this area however, is to receive the item Oak's Letter from an event in Japan. Receiving this item and speaking with Oak at the specified location will cause a long path to appear, which leads to the Flower Paradise. Some have bypassed the issue of obtaining the letter by using a cheat device to either cause the event to happen or use a "walk through anything" cheat to walk across the water into the Flower Paradise.

In Pokémon Platinum, Shaymin are able to change into an alternate form known as its "Sky Form". In order to change into it's Sky Form the Gracidea flower item must be used on Shaymin, but this can only be used during the day. In order to obtain the flower, a player must take their Shaymin with them on their first visit to Floaroma Town.

[edit] Origin

The name Shaymin comes from the Japanese word, Shay meaning gratitude, thus its nickname "the Gratitude Pokemon" or "Spirit of Gratitude" and minature meaning small or miniature, which is why it is the smallest legendary at only 8 inches long.

[edit] Trivia

• Shaymin is believed to have beautified the once desolate Floaroma Town, which explains why the town and Flower Paradise share the same music.
