Shaymin is a Grass-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Known as the Gratitude Pokémon, it has two distinct forms: Land Forme and Sky Forme. Land Forme Shaymin, depicted on this card, resembles a small hedgehog covered in green grass-like fur with a pink Gracidea flower on its back. It is said to absorb the pollution in the air and turn barren land into a field of flowers, symbolizing gratitude and healing. Shaymin is often found in flower fields and is known for its ability to fly when in its Sky Forme, which is activated by the Gracidea flower. In the games, Shaymin plays a crucial role in certain events, particularly in Pokémon Platinum where players can obtain the Gracidea item to change its form. Its gentle nature and association with nature's beauty make it a beloved Pokémon among fans. Shaymin does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, standing as a standalone Mythical creature. Its type matchups are typical for a Grass-type, being strong against Water, Ground, and Rock, but weak to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug.
