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

Biology

Physiology

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 looks similar to a hedgehog. Its body is pure white and on its back it has green grass, along with a pink Gracidea flower growing on either side of its head. It is also relatively small, being only 00'08" in height and 04.6 pounds according to the Pokédex, which means Shaymin's Land Form is one of the smallest Pokémon.

Shaymin's Sky Form is almost completely different from its Land Form. In this form, Shaymin has a reindeer-like appearance (mixed with a bit of dog and cat like features) and it is also larger. Its legs are much longer and are now a green color. The green grass-like fur is now confined to its head and fashioned similar to a Mohawk. Its ears are now very long, appearing almost like wings. On the back of its neck are two red petals, resembling a scarf. Flowers grow on Shaymin's back when it is relaxed, but rapidly go back in when its relaxation is disturbed. This means when it is surprised or frightened, the flowers rapidly go back in.

Natural abilities

Both forms of Shaymin have their own ability. Shaymin's Land Form has the ability Natural Cure, which will heal any status effects when it is switched out of battle. Its Sky Form has the ability Serene Grace, which will double the chance of an attack having an additional effect.

In order to go unnoticed by intruders or attackers, it utilizes its own form of camouflage; rolling up into a ball resembling a flower in a patch of grass. By doing so, it blends in with the surrounding flowers, going undetected even if the attacker is beside it. It also has the power to decompose the toxins in the air and turn the land into flower fields in an instant. It is believed that Shaymin turned the desolate area of Floaroma Town into a fertile field. Its unique move, Seed Flare, is a powerful Grass-type move that has a chance of lowering the opponent's Special Defense. Depending on the toxicity of the substance that Shaymin inhales using Seed Flare, the result of using it can range from being relatively harmless to destructive and potentially dangerous— as mentioned by Nurse Joy in Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior, a Shaymin made the mistake of inhaling toxic air using Seed Flare, and because of the severely high toxicity of the toxic air it inhaled, the blast from the Seed Flare destroyed at least half of an entire forest. And depending how much of the pollutant remains in its body and how fast it expels the remaining toxins, inhaling pollutants can make the Shaymin feel kinda sick and not feeling so-great afterwards.

Vanilla Yamazaki lent both their voices in the movie. Its Land form end its sentences with "deshu" (to emphasize its cuteness) and that of its Sky form is "desu".

Behavior

In its Sky Form Shaymin is brave and bold, but very friendly and sweet. In its Land Form, Shaymin is very shy and sweet and may follow the people it likes.

Appearances

Games

Core series

Shaymin in the overworld of Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version

Shaymin first appears in Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version. It is located in Flower Paradise, although it can be accessed only if the player has the event item Oak's Letter. If the player has the item and speaks to Professor Oak at the specified location, a long path to the Flower Paradise appears, allowing the player to encounter Shaymin at the end.

In Pokémon Platinum Version, Shaymin's alternate Sky form was introduced, with its default form being known as Land form. Shaymin can change into its Sky form if the player uses the Gracidea on it, during the time frame of 4am to 8pm only. Shaymin will revert to Land form when it is inserted into the PC or when it is frozen.

In the original Generation IV games, the Shaymin encountered always has a Lum Berry, but in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, this was reduced to only a 55% chance. The Shaymin uses Growth in Pokémon Platinum Version instead of Defense Curl like in Pokémon Diamond Version and Pokémon Pearl Version. Despite being more closely based on the paired games, the Shaymin in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl uses Growth instead of Defense Curl.

In the Generation VI paired games, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, it was possible to obtain Shaymin by the Pokémon 20th Anniversary event during July 2016.

Pokémon Ranger series

At one point, there was a Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia Wi-Fi Special Mission that has since been taken down.

In the 'Rescue the Lost Shaymin!' special mission of Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, the Shaymin changes forms but its cry remains the same.

Anime

• Shaymin Land Forme in the anime.

1/2

Main article: Shaymin (MS011)

It was featured in the 11th Pokémon Movie, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, with Shaymin given a starring role.

Another Shaymin appeared in a Sinnoh League Victors episode "Keeping in Top form" where a girl named Marley helps a it get to the Gracidea flower garden so it can be in sky form and migrate with its friends. Before that, it made a small cameo in the ending for Arceus and the Jewel of Life, along with Darkrai.

A different Shaymin, first appeared in Memories in the Mist! of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon - Ultra Legends, where it was found by Mallow and her Tsareena, after the two latter's brief reunion with the ghost of Mallow's mother before the fog fades away, just as her spirit began to fade as well to return to the afterlife. Mallow is later watching over it until it awaken its Sky form. Upon awaken its Sky form at the finale, thanks to Ulu for bringing Gracideas, this form has eyelashes akin to females, unlike other Shaymin.

Trivia

• Shaymin's cry changes when it changes form.
• The red "wings" on Shaymin's sides somewhat resemble strawberries.
• Shaymin Land form is tied with Meltan as the smallest of all Mythical Pokémon. Conditionally, both appear in the Sun & Moon TV series.
• Shaymin's forms appear to be based on a tenrec and a poodle respectively.

Origin

Land form Shaymin is a visual pun on the word "hedgehog." Sky form Shaymin resembles a small dog or fox with elements of reindeer, fairies, and angels.
