'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type2|Grass}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It was not officially revealed until February of 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed, which takes on the {{type2|Flying}} as a secondary type.

It is not known to evolve into or from another Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Shaymin and Gracideas]]
Shaymin is a small, hedgehog-like creature. Its body is pure white. Its back is covered with green fur and has a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower, several Gracidea-like flowers also appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses an impending danger, it rapidly hides it back. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is the smallest legendary Pokémon to date. According to the Pokédex height of 0'08", it is also among the smallest Pokémon in existence, with its comrades being {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Natu}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Burmy}}, and {{p|Chingling}}.
[[File:Shaymin revert.png|250px|thumb|{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} reverting back at night and in the cold]]
As first revealed by Japan's [[CoroCoro]] Magazine, Shaymin has [[Form differences#Shaymin|two forms]]. The first (Land Forme) is the original form seen in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The second is the Sky Forme which debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Shaymin will change into Sky Forme and back if it touches a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}. Shaymin can't be in this form at night or if it has [[Status ailment#Freeze|contact with ice]]. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a canid-like appearance that also bears some resemblance to a small reindeer. It has a small, slender body. The fur on its back appears to have shifted into a mohawk; it has a red flower petal on the right side of its neck, looking like a scarf or cape, and flat, white ears that look like wings or antlers. It has a small ruff on the front of its neck and a stumpy tail.

====Gender differences====
Shaymin is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Shaymin have the ability to instantly purify any polluted area of all unclean things in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. They take in the polluted air, purify it inside their bodies, break it down into water and light, and release the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. This ability is known as {{m|Seed Flare}}, their [[signature move]]. Its power varies on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others, hence its species classification, the ''Gratitude Pokémon''.

===Behavior===
[[File:Shaymin curled up.png|right|thumb|230px|Shaymin curled up]]
Shaymin have a habitual trait called "Flower Bearing." Each season, Shaymin gather in a flower field somewhere and migrate from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying because a new field of flowers grow where they land. Shaymin are also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Their personalities are almost opposite with each form — Land Forme is shy and easily scared, while Sky Forme is courageous and playful.

===Habitat===
Shaymin live in fields of flowers. Since a Shaymin camouflages by {{m|Defense Curl|curling itself up}}, it can easily escape people's notice, similar to {{p|Geodude}} on rocky terrain.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
In ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Shaymin is seen liking sweet food such as [[Poffin]]s and pancakes. In Platinum, when caught at the [[Flower Paradise]], Shaymin have been observed to hold the [[Lum Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Shaymin {{#switch: {{#time: G}}|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19=Sky|Land}} anime.png|thumb|250px|Shaymin in the anime]]
{{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} made its debut in the 11th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from Giratina, after enraging it in the [[Reverse World]]. Shaymin thought that Giratina wanted to eat it. It premiered both of its forms in the movie. Shaymin also makes a minor appearance in Arceus and the Jewel of Life's credits where it stands gazing upon the land on a tree.

Shaymin made its debut anime appearance in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Shaymin ties with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}} for the highest [[catch rate]] among all [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Like {{p|Darkrai}}, despite being an event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, both the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] are able to allow the player to access the [[Flower Paradise]] without the event having been activated.
** This has been rectified in {{game|Platinum}}, as neither Pokémon will appear without the event, even if the player manages to access their area.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the first and, as of [[Generation V]], the only pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
* Although Shaymin is a legendary Pokémon, normal wild Pokémon battle music plays while battling it. It shares this trait with {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Latios}}.
** Out of the four Pokémon listed above, Shaymin is also the only one who is genderless.
* Shaymin is implied to be behind the creation of [[Floaroma Town]], as one person notes it was a barren wasteland until one day flowers mysteriously covered it all after someone gave thanks for life's blessings. Additionally, the woman who gives the {{player}} a {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} flower can be found in Floaroma Town.
* [[Marley]] makes brief references to Shaymin in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if spoken with during the player's travel with her in {{si|Victory Road}}. She wants to reach the smooth rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. Additionally, If a Shaymin is in the player's party, she will take notice.
* Shaymin seems to appear only when someone gives thanks for a significant blessing in their life. A girl in [[Floaroma Town]] states that the flowers the town is famous for appeared after someone gave thanks for nature's blessings. With [[Oak's Letter]], Shaymin will lead the player to [[Flower Paradise]] after they give thanks for their Pokémon journey at the white rock on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Shaymin needs only 1,059,860 [[Experience]] to get to level 100, whereas others need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Shaymin's Sky Forme has a different [[cry]] than its Land Forme, making Shaymin the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms, and the first Pokémon to change its cry since the [[player character]]'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}.
** Despite this, the only cry used in [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] is the one of its Land Forme.
** Due to the Pokédex only registering the first forme's cry, it is impossible to listen to the Sky Forme's cry on it. This is because Shaymin traded in their Sky Forme revert to Land Forme, and wild Shaymin are always in their Land Forme. Also, Pokémon battled between players are not registered in the Pokédex, meaning that it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin before the Land Forme. It shares this trait with [[Red's Pikachu (game)|the starter Pikachu]] in Pokémon Yellow.
* Shaymin is one of two legendary Pokémon capable of using the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy (the other is {{p|Mew}}).
* In Sky Forme, Shaymin is the only legendary Flying-type Pokémon weak to Flying-type attacks.
* Shaymin is one of two Pokémon whose ability changes depending on its form, the other being {{p|Giratina}}.
* Shaymin is tied with {{p|Celebi}} for highest [[base stat total]] of all {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* A Shaymin caught at the Flower Paradise in {{game|Platinum}} will be a [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon, making it the only Pokémon able to be caught from the wild that has this status. This is to allow it to transform into Sky Forme, as non-fateful Shaymin cannot transform.
** This may be part of the reason why [[Oak's Letter]] was never released for distribution to Diamond and Pearl, as the Shaymin in those games, even if it is caught legitimately, will not be a fateful encounter Shaymin and thus not be able to transform. The reasoning behind disallowing this, of course, was to disallow those who had [[cheating|cheated]] to get Shaymin and those who used the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]] to do so from obtaining the otherwise-special Sky Forme Shaymin.
*Sky Forme Shaymin has the highest base Speed of all Grass-types.
*Fans have nicknamed Shaymin's Sky Forme 'Skymin'.
* Land Forme Shaymin is the shortest legendary Pokémon.

===Origin===
Shaymin is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. Moreover, when Shaymin (Land Forme) blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which serves to emphasize Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. On the other hand, Shaymin's Sky Forme shares most of its traits with a small, young {{wp|terrier}}-type dog, but its sprightly behavior, its affinity for flowers, and its ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|fairy|faeries}}. Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects that resemble that of a {{wp|reindeer}} as well.

====Name origin====
Its name is possibly a combination of the Chinese 謝 ''xiè'' (thanks/gratitude) or ジェイド ''jeido'' (jade), which is one of Shaymin's most dominant colors, and 蝟 ''harinezu'''mi''''' (hedgehog). Its name could also be a combination of ''shay'' and ''vitamin''. Also, shaman can be pronounced like Shaymin, so it may be like a mythical shaman. In addition, the name Shaymin may be a corruption of the Hebrew word Shamayim, which means "sky" and is the name of the first heaven in Jewish mysticism. This correlates directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

Signature move

2009-06-08T17:28:06Z

LilRed:

'''Signature moves''' are [[move]]s that can only be learned by a single [[Pokémon]] or a very small select group of Pokémon by level-up (with the exception of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}), usually in the same evolutionary line. They are mostly seen in [[legendary Pokémon]], however, some other Pokémon have moves specific to themselves or their evolutionary line. Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{P|Smeargle}} by use of {{M|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately.

==List of Pokémon and their signature moves==
Note: All levels listed are the level the Pokémon will learn the move as of [[Generation IV]].

==One-off signature moves==
This is a list of signature moves that at only one point, another Pokémon had the ability to acquire:

* A {{p|Dratini}} that knows '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' is obtainable in {{game|Crystal}} after answering a quiz in the [[Dragon's Den]].
* A {{p|Skitty}} with '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' can be obtained from a special {{Pkmn|egg}} after depositing 500 Pokémon in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] from a Game Boy Advance game pak.
* After [[Shadow Lugia|Lugia]] from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] has been purified, it learns '''{{m|Psycho Boost}}''' and '''{{m|FeatherDance}}'''.
* A {{p|Pikachu}} that knows '''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''' (and {{m|Surf}}) is available as a prize for beating all the Colosseums for the first time in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Those two moves are also available in some other event Pikachu.
* A {{p|Darkrai}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''' and '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the opening of the [[The Rise of Darkrai|10th movie]].


==Other signature move examples==
* Although other Pokémon are capable of learning '''{{m|Drill Peck}}''', {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Zapdos}} are shown to be the most common Pokémon to use it.
* The {{p|Squirtle}} evolution family and {{p|Sharpedo}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]] in [[Generation I]].
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move prior to [[Generation III]], it should be noted that it is still the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon that can learn the move.
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in [[Generation I]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but eight Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total. Seven Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm.
* Eight Pokémon can currently learn {{p|Arcanine}}'s former signature move, '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}'''.
* {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} had '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' as their signature move in [[Generation I]], before it was changed to a [[HM]].
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] or [[move tutor]].
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* {{P|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}'''; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond.
* Each of {{p|Rotom}}'s forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.

== Hmmm.... ==

Is the color and box from the Tutoring Moveset (I think) supposed to be expanding past the sprite box? I see the Rock type stuff, if that matters. (No, I don't think it is my browser, other Pokémon's pages are still fine) [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 14:13, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
:I have fixed it stop the problem was that he closed the time, not the tutor box stop[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]

==Out of intrest==

Has anyone tried to see if Arceus' ??? type forme is in PBR? [[User:Zsaberslash|Zsaberslash]] 20:52, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
:And possibly in Platinum, as well? In a method other than cheating? --[[User:Bulbapedian|Bulbapedian]] - [[User talk:Bulbapedian|Talk]] 20:55, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

== Team Galactic's Invention cards ==

Names such as "Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray" are horribly long and we won't be able to fit two columns together if it's that long, as it takes up more than half the page (just). Any ideas how we can shorten the names? Assuming these are gonna be like [[Digger (Team Rocket 75)|Digger]], in which case the Trainer type will be ''(Team Galactic's Invention)'', can we get away with chopping off that bit and shorten them to, for example, "G-103 Power Spray"?

Bulbapedia:Project SpriteDex

2008-12-25T16:10:17Z

LilRed: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project SpriteDex logo.png|right]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organise efforts pretaining to sprites on Bulbapedia. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum]. Please also read the [[Bulbapedia:Project SpriteDex/To-do list|to-do list]].

==Project SpriteDex==
===Scope and aims===
Project SpriteDex aims to complete and perfect Bulbapedia's sprite library. In short, any links where images should be must be replaced with the proper image, and any sprites with white backgrounds must be made transparent. Whenever the next Generation of Pokémon games is released, the project will focus its attentions on the new sprites.

All correctly categorized game sprites can be found [[a:Category:Game_sprites|here]]. However, nontransparency is easier to detect on the individual pages for each Pokémon.

===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:

* {{u|LordArceus}} - I absolutely {{wp|hate}} nontransparent sprites.
* {{u|UltimateSephiroth}} ''(If I have time, I can help with the transparency of Silver sprites & Gen II shinies)''
* {{u|Kogoro}} - Well, since I've already fixed a few transparency issues, I guess I should add myself.
* {{u|Chocolate}} - Some of the [[Generation I|Gen. I]] sprites we have are all wrong. All sprites should face the viewer, and most of the Gen. I sprites fail to do that. I fixed a lot of them in early October, and I want to help with the rest.
* {{u|ShinjiLover}}
* {{u|jpp8}} - Helping out with transparencies and resizing.
* {{u|Stephen93}} - Don't worry, I finally have it downpat! Helping with resizes and transparencies from Generations I and II, as well as uploading Gen. II sprites that are missing altogether.
* {{u|LilRed}}

===Structure===
Much of this project's work will involve the [[a:Main Page|Bulbagarden Archives]]. Please make sure you know how to upload and replace images properly before doing so.

====Goals====
# To provide sprites of every Pokémon for every [[Generation]]
# To change all nontransparent sprites to transparent
#To make sure each sprite is correct in terms of size, orientation, etc.

[[User:UltimateSephiroth/Sprites|This page]] can be used to check which ones are missing, incorrect, or non-transparent.
WARNING! The link above contains thousands of images, so make sure your browser can handle the loading.

Spear Key

2008-12-25T04:40:42Z

LilRed: Dialgia - > Dialga

[[Image:Spear key cube.jpg|The Spear Key as a cube|thumb]]
The '''Spear Key''' is a special artifact in the [[anime]] that is currently under the possession of [[Team Galactic]]. Nothing is known about its origin or purpose.
[[Image:Spear key.jpg|The Spear Key in its activated form|thumb|left]]
In ''[[DP060|Journey To The Unown!]]'', [[Saturn]] and two Team Galactic Grunts head inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. In an inner chamber, they place the [[Splash Plate]], [[Draco Plate]] and [[Iron Plate]] into slots on the floor which releases the Spear Key in the form of a cube.

Later in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', Saturn and more grunts arrive at the site of the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]] so that the power of the meteorites activates the Spear Key.

In [[DP097]], the Spear Key is used by [[Jupiter]] to locate the [[Lustrous Orb]]. As the episode ends, the Spear Key, along with the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and Lustrous Orbs were seen attached to machines in Team Galactic's base.

[[Image:Dpseries.jpg|thumb|right|The [[TV Tokyo]] Poster]]
==Trivia==
[[Image:ThreePlates.png|thumb|left|Three plates release it...]]
* A picture on the [[TV Tokyo]] Pokémon website shows what is apparently the Spear Key inside what appears to be a portal to the [[Distortion World]], surrounded by the members of the [[lake trio]], indicating a possible plot point which may or may not involve {{an|Giratina}} and the twelfth movie.
* Its name is a very obvious reference to [[Spear Pillar]], indicating that the two share a connection.
* The three plates used refer to Dialga and Palkia; the Draco plate to both of them, the Splash plate to Palkia's other type, and the Iron plates to Dialga's other type.
** The fact that it required three [[plate]]s to release it from the Solaceon Ruins indicates its possible connection to {{p|Arceus}}, who uses the plates to change type.
