The Gracidea (Japanese: グラシデアのはな Gracidea Flower) is a Key Item introduced in Pokémon Platinum. It is a type of flower that resembles the flowers on Shaymin's head. It allows Land Forme Shaymin to change into Sky Forme.

In some places, people give bouquets of these flowers that resemble Shaymin to thank someone to express their gratitude, relating to Shaymin being the Gratitude Pokémon.

In the anime

A Gracidea in the anime

Gracideas first appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior, in which Ash, Dawn, and Brock met Layla and her husband Moose. The couple was on the way to Layla's great-grandmother's hundredth birthday party, and they wanted to give her a bouquet of Gracideas as a way to express their gratitude. As the group was traveling with Shaymin, Layla bonded with the Gratitude Pokémon, and when Shaymin touched the bouquet, it immediately changed into its Sky Forme. Later on, Shaymin reunited with several members of its species in a field full of Gracideas. In the ending credits, Delia, Johanna, and Lola were seen receiving Gracidea gift baskets sent by their children. The same field of Gracideas was later seen in a flashback in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, when Sheena and Kevin visited the area.

In Keeping in Top Forme!, a Gracidea garden is featured. All of the Gracidea in the garden have died except for a few. The Shaymin befriended by Marley used it to change into Sky Forme, along with two other Shaymin, and then migrated in order to find another garden.

In Strategy Begins at Home!, flowers that look similar to Gracideas are seen in Johanna's garden.

In Memories in the Mist!, Gracidea flowers were shown in a world between life and death, created by Tapu Fini's mist. They were blooming as Mallow and her mother both displayed gratitude towards each other during their reunion, after the same mist also temporarily brought Mallow's mother's spirit back from the dead. A single Gracidea was shown at the Ancient Poni Path, as Mallow noticed a nearby Shaymin walking towards her.

In Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, Ulu brought Mallow some Gracideas he had found on his way home. Shaymin promptly touched the flowers and turned into its Sky Forme. Some Gracideas were also seen blooming near Aina's Kitchen while Mallow watched Shaymin flying away with others of its kind.
