Shaymin may look cute and tiny, but don’t let that fool you. This Mythical Pokémon packs a punch and is super rare. What’s cool about Shaymin is its two forms. It has a Land Forme and a Sky Forme, and it can switch between them with a Gracidea flower.
Finding Shaymin in Pokémon Go
You might have seen Shaymin at events like Go Fest 2022 or Sustainability Week 2023 in Pokémon Go. So, you might wonder, can I catch a Shiny Shaymin? Let’s dive into that.
Is Shiny Land Forme Shaymin in Pokémon Go?
During Sustainability Week 2023, starting April 20, you’ll have a shot at catching Land Forme Shaymin. Complete Special Research during the event for a chance to meet this Mythical Pokémon.
But since this is the first time it’s popping up globally in Land Forme, you won’t find a Shiny version this time around.
What About Shiny Sky Forme Shaymin?
Sky Forme Shaymin, just like its Land counterpart, has shown up in just one Pokémon Go event. Those who bought the Special Research ticket at Go Fest 2022 could catch Shaymin in its Sky Forme after finishing some tasks. But, like Land Forme, you couldn’t find its Shiny variant then.
Spotting a Shiny Shaymin
If Pokémon Go ever releases Shiny Shaymin, this adorable hedgehog will shift from its normal yellow-green to a sea green hue. Its flowers will also change color slightly. The difference isn’t huge, so it’s tricky to spot unless you’re looking closely.
However, adding any Shiny Mythical Pokémon, like Shaymin, to your collection is always amazing.
