It has two distinct forms: Land Forme, which resembles a small hedgehog adorned with pink Gracidea flowers, and Sky Forme, a more deer-like appearance with a white body and green "mane" that allows it to fly. Shaymin is known for its ability to absorb pollution and transform barren land into lush flower fields, symbolizing gratitude and environmental restoration. In the games, it is typically encountered through special events, and its Sky Forme can be activated by using a Gracidea flower during the day. Shaymin plays a prominent role in the movie "Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior," where its ability to purify toxic gases and its courageous spirit are highlighted. Its presence often brings about positive change and a sense of wonder.
