Known as the Gratitude Pokémon, it possesses the unique ability to absorb pollutants and transform desolate land into vibrant flower fields. Shaymin has two distinct forms: Land Forme, which is a small, hedgehog-like creature adorned with Gracidea flowers, and Sky Forme, a more deer-like appearance with white fur and a red bloom on its chest, capable of flight. Its natural habitat is typically lush, untouched environments, where it helps maintain ecological balance. Shaymin’s diet consists primarily of nectar and pollen from the flowers it helps to cultivate. In the games, Shaymin is often encountered through special events, symbolizing gratitude and environmental renewal. In the anime, it played a prominent role in the movie "Giratina and the Sky Warrior," showcasing its ability to purify and its gentle nature. Its cultural significance lies in its embodiment of appreciation and nature's restorative power, often associated with springtime and acts of kindness. Shaymin does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon. As a Grass-type, it is typically strong against Ground, Rock, and Water types, while being weak to Fire, Flying, Poison, Bug, and Ice types.
