====For the Bride and Shaymin!====

[[Erma]] and [[Professor Hastings]] receive an invitation on behalf of the player. It turns out that [[Ollie]] and [[Elaine]] are getting married! The player, Hastings, and the other rangers come and celebrate, but Team Dim Sun Remnants show up, trying to steal the bride's bouquet. It turns out the bouquet is none other than a {{p|Shaymin}}. Team Dim Sun wants to get it in order to sell the rare Pokémon for a huge amount of money to buy new weapons for the team.

Shaymin flees, and the player is assigned to return Shaymin, whose tendency is to hide with flowers. To make things more difficult, there are flowers all over the [[Pueltown|town]] shaped like Shaymin! The player, Hastings, and the other rangers leave the couple behind. They are not the only ones looking, though, as Team Dim Sun also wants to find it. During the first encounter of the scared Shaymin, the player will have to capture an {{p|Absol}} and {{p|Umbreon}}. On the second encounter, the player will have to capture a {{p|Roserade}} and two {{p|Bellossom}}. After that, Team Dim Sun manages to corner Shaymin on the bridge, who, out of anger, attacks them. The player then has to capture it to calm it down. After that everyone returns to the wedding, Shaymin will shower the place with flowers as a sign of gratitude and disappear.

====Protect the Blue Sphere!====

The second mission features the Pokémon Ranger staple, the Manaphy {{pkmn|Egg}}. In this mission, the Manaphy Egg appears in the [[Oblivia]] Region.

====Find Giratina's Griseous Orb!====

This extra mission features {{p|Giratina}} in both of its formes, and takes place in the Oblivia Ruins. The mission requires the player to capture Giratina, in its Altered Forme. Then, the player must search the ruins for its Griseous Orb. Upon finding the Orb, the player must take it back to Giratina and capture it again, now in its Origin Forme.

====Pledge to Arceus====

This extra mission features the [[Creation trio]] and their [[Arceus (Pokémon)|master]]. The mission requires the player to venture around the [[Sky Fortress]] and capture {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in order to stop spacial distortions around the area. Once the player has done so, they must capture {{p|Arceus}} as well to calm its rage. No mystery gift is given with this mission.

* When the player plays through two extra missions in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia|Shadows of Almia]], ''Dialga in Hia Valley!?'' and ''Palkia in Haruba Desert!?'', many new areas open up inside Almia Castle and Hippowdon Temple. These areas are not found in normal gameplay.

* Also, as stated by the designers, the player cannot save inside the extra missions in Shadows of Almia. Therefore, all exits capable of getting out of Haruba Desert or Almia Castle are blocked. The Save Machines read: "It says 'Undergoing Adjustments' on the screen".
