Talk:Shaymin (Pokémon)

Due to special coding in place in the article to illustrate Shaymin's Formes, certain displays will change showing Shaymin in its Sky Forme. This will only affect the artwork shown in the infobox, the type-themed color displays, the base stats entry which is unhidden, the Pokéthlon stats entry which is unhidden, and the type effectiveness entry which is unhidden. This changes every day at 4 AM and 8 PM (UTC), so when the time comes, click here to return to the page and change the display.

New Event

There's a new Shaymin event from some time this month until November (2009), for everyone who owns Platinum.

Wonder Cards?

Whats a Wonder Card?I need to know because these's a shaymin event on the 18/04/09 which is TOMORROW!!!Please could someone tell me!I picked shaymin's talk page because the event is about it!Mglitch 21:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

They're downloaded along with whatever Mystery Gift you're doing. The game will only save 3 cards (I think) at a time. Deleting a Wonder Card doesn't affect the gift itself, and since you apparently have not used Mystery Gift ever, it won't make a difference, so don't sweat it.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 23:52, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Search function FTW. --Jonouchi 02:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Why's the sky forme official art in the infobox?

Isn't the land forme official art better to put in the infobox? I think so because the land forme is more the original/real forme, Because when you catch shaymin it's land forme, and when sky forme is frozen ar whe'n it's night it also reverts back. Mijzelffan 18:35, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

It's timed. Wait until it's past 8 PM UTC. TTEchidna 18:55, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

well, it's after 8 p.m. utc now, and the infobox still contains the sky forme image.Mijzelffan 20:10, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

The page is cached. When it clears, Shaymin changes Forme. IT'S JUST LIKE THE GAMES. TTEchidna 01:56, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Forme change

will any shaymin change forme if transfered to Platinum and the Gracidea is used? or will only the event shaymin do this? ŚĥîΠŶPî₭₳ĉĥŭ 19:00, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Only the event one. WHICH I GOT MUAHAHA |3urn •57R1K3 19:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

You seem confused. Only the event Shaymin lets the woman give you the Gracidea. Any Shaymin can use it to transform. Missingno. Master wants YOU! Join the Order of the Glitch! (my talk page) 19:41, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Not according to the trivia!
"Only Shaymin that show the text 'Fateful encounter' can change form. This means Shaymin caught in Diamond and Pearl and traded into Platinum can not change their form." Is this true? _ShinyPika 19:06, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

yes SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 17:44, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Pic

Shaymin in the anime

Is this picture from the movie?--tobytse 04:02, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Of course. TTEchidna 07:05, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Sky form TMs

Does Shaymin's TM/HM set change in sky form? I am going to get Platinum soon, so I want to know if Sky Forme has any extra moves to trade over to DP. --Alphateam7911 20:01, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Nope. —darklordtrom 20:05, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Lum berry

In diamond it holds a lum berry when in the wild. I don't know how often, but someone should look in to this. WaterUser _{(page, talk)}

Artwork change

I know the artwork is supposed to change based on what time it is, but right now I'm seeing a link to File:492Shaymin.png when really there should either be a land or sky after it. Is this intentional or some kind of mistake? I've cleared my cache several times already. —♥ Jello 04:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

It appears to be an oversight in the template itself. The image parameter has been commented out, and replaced with the Ndex number followed by the name of the Pokémon, which is where most of them are. This means that a similar glitch will appear on all/most of the pages which are set to change the form displayed based on time. As it is such an important template it is protected, so can an admin please add an optional parameter to modify the image name for pages such as this? Werdnae (talk) 04:45, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Heartgold

Heard a rumour it can be causght here. This true? SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 17:45, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

...no. Not at all. ▫▪Ťïňắ ^♫♥ 18:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

In regards to Evolutionary Capacity

Shaymin is currently the very first Pokémon that can Evolve and Devolve at will. I'll go ahead and put this in the Trivia if it's significant. --Arima 05:20, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Since when does Shaymin "evolve"? ^ht14 05:23, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
