Oak's Letter (Japanese: オーキドのてがみ Okido's Letter) is a Key event item available in Pokémon Platinum. It is the third of the four event items in the Sinnoh-based games, preceded in its distribution by the Secret Key and Member Card, and followed by the unreleased Azure Flute.
Once this item has been received from the deliveryman at the Poké Mart, Professor Oak of Kanto will be waiting for the player on his or her next visit to Route 224, at the northernmost, barren end of it. He will explain to the player that the white rock there is present for a person to note what they are most thankful for, and on inspection of it, the player will be able to enter whatever they may desire (the entry system is the same as that for Pokémon nicknames). After this has been done, the Seabreak Path will appear, and a Shaymin will come down from it before returning north to the Flower Paradise, where it can be caught at level 30.

Oak's Letter was first shown in Dealing with Dragonite. It was featured again Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost), where Marley used the instructions written to it by Professor Oak to locate Shaymin, so that she could ask it to help her in the final battle against Team Galactic. Full contents of the letter were later revealed in The Final Dimensional Duel X.
Trivia
- Even though the Shaymin residing at the Flower Paradise is caught from the wild, its status screen will always display it as having been met in a fateful encounter.
- Although Oak's Letter is present in the game data for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the item was never distributed for those games by Nintendo.
- A Shaymin could be caught on those games by acquiring Oak's Letter via cheating, but, due to the fact that Pokémon Diamond and Pearl does not apply the fateful encounter flag, it would never be able to achieve its Sky Forme.
- Marley will speak to the player differently with the Oak's Letter event activated.
