===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. Its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}}.  However, as seen in the anime, when Shaymin (Land Forme) blooms with flowers, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which serves to emphasize Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. On the other hand, Shaymin's Sky Forme shares most of its traits with a young terrier, but its sprightly behavior, its affinity for flowers, and its ability to fly bring to mind faeries. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few features of a {{wp|reindeer}} as well.
