The movie ギラティナと氷空の花束 シェイミ Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin premiered in Japan on July 19, 2008.
A teaser after the closing of Dialga VS Palkia VS Darkrai shows Regigigas's hand rising from a large flowery field. A second form of Giratina debuted as well. This form, called the "Origin Forme", is said to allow Giratina to cross between dimensions.
In addition to Giratina and Regigigas, Dialga, a legendary Pokémon from the previous film, is slightly involved. This was revealed in a preview during the first airing of DP058 saying that the fight among the Pokémon gods has not ended, implying a direct connection with the previous film which was later confirmed. It was assumed that Palkia would be involved, as well, but this has since been proven false.
Revealed on an issue of a CoroCoro Comic and on the official website, Shaymin was confirmed to co-star in the film. In the film, Giratina assumes that Shaymin was partially responsible for the corruption of the Reverse World, and therefore Shaymin has to escape from Giratina's wrath.
Similar to the previous film, a Lv. 50 Shaymin is available from the theater screen via wireless connection. Also, a Lv. 100 Regigigas is available with a pre-ordered ticket.
It's confirmed that the three first movies of Diamond & Pearl generation will be a continued trilogy.

Summary
The Reverse World, where Giratina lives, is a beautiful and rule-breaking mirror of the Pokémon world. But the Reverse World takes in all of the real world's pollution, saving the real world from air pollution. As a result of the events in The Rise of Darkrai, dark, poisonous clouds have appeared and overlaid the Reverse World. Giratina becomes enraged and lures Dialga, which it holds responsible for the chaos, into its world. Shaymin is inadvertently drawn to the Reverse World, as well. Narrowly avoiding Giratina and Dialga's attacks, it uses Seed Flare to escape back to the real world; this allows Dialga to seal Giratina in the Reverse World.
Shaymin appears before Ash and his friends. It is capable of telepathy, and has a habitual behavior called "Flower Carrying" (Japanese: 花はこび). It also has the power to transform from its original Land Forme, to an embodiment of the clear sky - Sky Forme. This transformation is only made possible through exposure to a special pollen; Shaymin is able to transform upon touching the Glacidea Flower carried by Leila. Shaymin, fearing for its life after its encounter with Giratina, journeys with the group to a beautiful, flower-filled place called Glacidea.
Another character, Mugen, who owns a Shieldon and is a talented scholar specializing in study of the Reverse World, has wound himself into the plot. He appears beneficial to Ash and his friends. However, his former assistant, Zero, appears as the main villain in the film. He seeks the power of Giratina to space-travel, which will allow him to take over the Reverse World. In order to unleash Giratina, he plots to force Shaymin to use Seed Flare once more. He owns a Magnezone, many Magnemite and a robotic maid named Infi, who controls his ship named the Megaliba.
The final battle has Ash, Giratina and Shaymin face Zero. Meanwhile, Zero's actions have caused a giant glacier in the Real World to start moving, which spells imminent danger to a nearby town. Dawn and Brock attempt to use their Pokémon to slow the glacier down, but their efforts do not prove successful as Regigigas appears and announces that they're too weak...

Trivia
- The movie happens between DP086 and DP087.
- The movie was released the same day as the airing of Lost Leader Strategy! in the United States. A Lucario, a Pokémon which starred in the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, can be found in this episode.
- The staff went to three locations in Norway to form a basis for the movie's setting - Sognefjord (the second largest Fjord in the world), Jostedalsbreen (the largest glacier in Europe), and Bergen (the second largest city in Norway).
- This will be the second time when a legendary Pokémon from a previous movie reappears. The only other time was in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, where Mew made a second appearance after Mewtwo Strikes Back. It was, however, a different Mew, whereas the Dialga in this movie is the same one that battled with Palkia over Alamos Town.
- This is also the first Pokémon movie where a legendary Pokémon reappears immediately after the previous film. In other words, this is the first Pokémon film to feature a legendary Pokémon twice in a row.
- This movie ties with The Power of One and Lucario and the Mystery of Mew for having the most legendary Pokémon (four). Unlike those two movies, this movie also features two alternate forms, bringing the aforementioned number up to six in a certain sense.
- The ending theme song for the movie is ONE by Crystal Kay.
- Origin Forme Giratina and Sky Forme Shaymin debuted in this movie prior to their game debut in Pokémon Platinum.
- Palkia doesn't appear in the movie despite it being on the first movie poster. This marks the second time that Pokémon appear on the posters even though they don't actually appear in the movie itself, the first two being in Mewtwo Strikes Back and Jirachi Wish Maker. However, those Pokémon were not the featured Pokémon.
