Shaymin (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

}}

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from another Pokémon, it has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|second Forme]] activated by using a [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] in the daytime. Its original Forme, '''Land Forme''', will then become the {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type '''Sky Forme'''. Shaymin's Sky Forme will revert into its Land Forme during the night, while {{status|frozen}} solid, or if it is deposited in the [[PC]].

==Biology==

Shaymin is a small, white hedgehog-like Pokémon. In Land Forme, it has green grass-like fur on its back and a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the [[Gracidea]] flower. Several Gracidea-like flowers also appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses an impending danger, it rapidly hides it back. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is the smallest Mythical Pokémon to date.

Each season, Shaymin gathers with others in a flower field somewhere and migrates from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying because a new field of flowers grow where it lands. Shaymin is also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Its personality is almost opposite with each form: in Land Forme, it is shy and easily scared, while in Sky Forme, it is courageous and playful. If wet, it shakes itself to dry itself off, and exhibits the behavior of scratching itself with a hind leg. Shaymin lives in fields of flowers. Since it camouflages by curling itself up, it can easily escape people's notice. It has been seen liking sweet food. Shaymin is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] to know {{m|Seed Flare}}.
