Shaymin is a famous grass type Pokemon. It was officially released only after February 2008, when Shaymin was the star of the ‘Giratina and the Sky Warrior’. It was released again in June 2008, as the flying type Shaymin. This is the only Pokemon, which has not evolved from some another Pokemon.
Shaymin is a tiny, hedgehog creature with a white colored body. The back of Shaymin has green fur, with pink flowers and two leaves on the side of its head. This pattern is very similar to Gracidea flower. It has short legs with a plump inner side. Shaymin is the smallest famous Pokemon till date. The first description and pictures of Shaymin were published in CoroCoro Magazine in Japan.

Shaymin has two basic forms:
- Land Forme: This form was first originally seen in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.
- Sky Forme: The debut of this form was in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.
Shaymin has the ability to change its form if it touches the flower Gracidea. Shaymin cannot be in the sky form if it has any contact with ice, or in the night. This characters sky forme has the appearance of a reindeer. The fur on its back shifts to a Mohawk style, when it is sky forme. The special ability of Shaymin is, it can purify any polluted area, and change it into a field of flowers. It takes in polluted air and release purified air in an explosive burst. This is known as Seed Flare and is also its signature move.
Shaymin has a regular feature called Flower Bearing. Every season, Shaymin gathers itself in a field of flower and migrates from there. This nature of Shaymin is called Flower Carrying because a flower garden grows every time they land somewhere. Shaymin is said to have a split personality; in land forme it is very timid and frightened, and in the sky forme it is very playful and brave.
In the debut movie ‘Giratina and the Sky Warrior’, Shaymin was escaping from Giratina, after infuriating it in the Reverse World. Shaymin had a feeling that Giratina was going to eat him up. This was the only movie, where Shaymin was seen in both its forms. It also made a short appearance in ‘Arceus and the Jewel of Life’s’, where it is seen standing and gazing on the land.
