Gracidea (Sinnoh)
Gracidea (Japanese: グラシデア Glacidea) is a place presumably in Sinnoh. It is near the top of a mountain. Shaymin, along with others of its species, lives here. If a Shaymin touches one of the flowers native to this place, it will immediately change form.
In the anime
Gracidea was a place featured in the movie, Giratina and the Sky Warrior, which Shaymin had longed for and kept referring to as "that place".
In the games
Gracidea did not appear in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but its equivalent is the Flower Paradise, as Shaymin can be found there in the games and there are plenty of flowers, just like Gracidea. In Pokémon Platinum, Gracidea itself does not appear, but the Glacidea Flower is given to the player by a lady in Floaroma Town. Any Shaymin can transform from this flower, but the player can only obtain it if they have the Movie 11 event Shaymin in their party.
Trivia
- Glacidea's name comes from the fact that it is next to a glacier. This was the same glacier that, in the movie, began moving and almost destroyed a nearby town because of Zero's actions in the Reverse World.
