Shaymin, the cute, tiny Grass-type Mythical Pokémon from Gen IV is a rare find in Pokémon Go. It stands out with two forms, Land Forme and Sky Forme. You can only get these forms during special events. Let’s dive into how you can catch both.
Land Forme Shaymin
Land Forme Shaymin comes back to Pokémon Go starting April 20, 2023, for Sustainability Week. A special quest named “Grass and Gratitude” will be free for all players. Finish this quest to meet Land Forme Shaymin. This form is all Grass type and smaller than its Sky counterpart. In other games, a Gracidea flower changes its formes, but that’s not the case in Pokémon Go.
Sky Forme Shaymin
Sky Forme Shaymin showed up for the first time at Pokémon Go Fest 2022 through a ticketed quest. While the fest had free activities, meeting Shaymin wasn’t one of them. By doing these paid quests, players got their first chance to catch this Mythical Pokémon.
Keep an Eye Out
After Go Fest 2022 and Sustainability Week 2023, Shaymin is likely to pop up again in Pokémon Go. Due to its Mythical status, these appearances might be rare. Stay tuned to upcoming events for your next chance to encounter Shaymin.
In summary, catching Shaymin in both its Land and Sky Formes involves special events and tasks. Join in on events like Sustainability Week or Go Fest to grab your chance. And always stay alert for future opportunities to catch this rare Mythical Pokémon.
