Shaymin Location

Shaymin can be found at Floaro Gardens in Obsidian Fieldlands. When you get to that spot, you will find a field of withered flowers and a cutscene will play out before Shaymin appears.

How to Catch Shaymin

You can immediately capture Shaymin after the end of the cutscene. Shaymin is small and hard to find, so you can wait for it to come out of the flowerbed first before trying to capture it or lure it out with berries.

When startled by your presence, Shaymin will attack before quickly escaping, so it is best to sneak up on it and throw a Poke Ball while it is unaware.

If Shaymin escapes your grasp, you can leave Obsidian Fieldlands and come back. Shaymin will respawn at the same spot in the middle of the flowerbed. You can also restart the game from a previous save file to save some time traveling back and forth.

Use Gracidea to Change Shaymin's Form

During the Request, you will receive Gracidea, the item used to change Shaymin from its Land Forme to its Sky Forme.
