Woooooaaaaahhhhh, nelly. It says here that only FE Shaymin can change form. So if I were to hack a Flower Paridise Shaymin from DP, send it to Pt/HGSS, and try and use a Gracidea on it, then I'd get the no-effect blip? Giratina's Embodiment - Please don't hurt us... 02:00, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well, if you use walk-through-walls to get to Shaymin, it won't work, but using Oak's Letter (hacked or not) will get you the Gracedia. CuboneKing 02:06, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
I don't actually hack the stuff, but I thought it was only a fateful encounter if you got it from Pt? - unsigned comment from Giratina's Embodiment (talk • contribs)
Fateful Encounters in XD
I don't know if this is just my game, but all pokémon that originated in XD and transferred to Black or White has a fateful encounter status. This makes the Shaymin trivia false, also.Buibui 16:51, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Shaymin Trivia
I think the trivia saying that Shaymin at the Flower Paradise in DP was not fateful encounter because of Tweaking and the Surf glitch is bunk. The developers were probably not aware of those glitches when programming the game, and probably hadn't even decided to require Fateful Encounter Shaymin in the next game for the form change. Thus it's rather the other way around; the Shaymin in Platinum IS fateful encounter BECAUSE should they release the event for Platinum, they wanted the Shaymin to be able to activate its exclusive form. --AndyPKMN (talk) 18:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
