Trivia
- Shaymin ties with Mew and Celebi for the highest catch rate among all legendary Pokémon; Jirachi and Manaphy are distinct from the aforementioned three in tying with many other legendary Pokémon for the lowest catch rate among all Pokémon.
- Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon, and one of the shortest Pokémon overall, tying with Diglett, Natu, Azurill, Budew, Burmy and Chingling.
- This is the second event legendary Pokémon which was thought only to be received at a Nintendo event. However, in the Japanese version of Diamond/Pearl, it can be caught through a glitch involving Surf in the room of the first Elite Four member. Likewise, in other language versions, another glitch is said to get the player to reach Seabreak Path and Flower Paradise as well.
- Shaymin is the first pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
- Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it.
- Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of Floaroma Town, as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all.
- Marley makes brief references to Shaymin if spoken with during an excursion in Victory Road. She wants to reach the smooth rock on Route 224.
- Cheaters can reach Shaymin by using the infamous walk anywhere cheat. If they head north of the white rock on Route 224, they will reach the Seabreak Path in less than ten steps. They can then follow it straight to Flower Paradise.
- Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in Floaroma Town states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With Oak's Letter Shaymin will lead the player to Flower Paradise after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on Route 224.
- When Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin premieres, an event Shaymin will be available at theaters. All that is known is that Shaymin will be at level 50 and holding a Micle [1]
- Unlike most legendaries, Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with Mew and Celebi.
Origin
Shaymin is based on either a hedgehog or porcupine, more likely the former. Its porcelain-white skin and its furry coat of grass also resembles a chia pet.
Name origin
Its name may come from the word shame, as it is a very shy and elusive Pokémon. It may also be derived from shaman. The English name also is a slight alteration of its Japanese name. Its katakana name contains mi, which means "seed" in Japanese.
