===Origin===
===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well.  Moreover, when Shaymin (Land Forme) blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, 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 small, young {{wp|terrier}}-type dog, but its sprightly behavior, its affinity for flowers, and its ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|fairy|faeries}}. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects that resemble that of a {{wp|reindeer}} as well.
