Oak's Letter (Japanese: オーキドのてがみ Okido's Letter) is an event-exclusive Key Item available in Pokémon Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl.
In Pokémon Platinum, it was 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 then-unreleased Azure Flute.

Effect
When this item is received as an event and delivered by the deliveryman at the Poké Mart, the player will find Professor Oak waiting for them on their next visit to Route 224, at the northernmost, barren end of the route. 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 upon inspection of it, the player will be able to enter their own note (via the same text input system as is used 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.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Oak's Letter first appeared in Dealing with Dragonite, under Marley's possession. It was featured again in Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost), where Marley used the instructions written on it by Professor Oak to find Shaymin on Route 224, 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.
- This is likely because only fateful encounter Shaymin can become Sky Forme and allow the player to receive the Gracidea in the first place.
- 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.
- Despite Oak's Letter only being distributed for Pokémon Platinum, the Wonder Card for the Pokémon 20th Anniversary Shaymin states that, "With a special letter, Shaymin could first be encountered in the Flower Paradise of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl."
- Marley will speak to the player differently with the Oak's Letter event activated.
