The Mythical Shaymin made its Pokemon Go debut back in 2022 with its two formes: Land and Sky. Now both are back thanks to a Special Research, so here’s everything you need to know about how to get Shaymin in Niantic’s mobile game.
The arrival of a new Legendary or Mythical Pokemon in Pokemon Go is always an exciting time – partly because it’s a chance to fill out your Pokedex and partly because they can be really great in PvP and Raids.
Shaymin, the Gratitude Pokemon from the Sinnoh region, is one of the several Mythical creatures to be introduced into Pokemon Go. Like most Mythicals and Legendary Pokemon, adding one to your collection won’t be as simple as just finding it in the wild.
There are two different versions, Land Forme and Sky Forme, of Shaymin to find in Pokemon Go, which can make the process even more difficult. To help you out, you’ll find all the information you need to catch both forms of Shaymin in Pokemon Go below.

How to get Sky Forme Shaymin in Pokemon Go
Again, you will be granted an encounter with Shiny Shaymin after completing the Glimmers of Gratitude Masterwork Research.
Even though the Special Research doesn’t expire, players have until Sunday, February 25, at 6:00 PM local time to purchase a ticket, though the event itself doesn’t expire – just the time to grab a ticket.
Can Shaymin change forms in Pokemon Go?
Forms have been treated a little inconsistently in Pokemon Go so far. For example, Giratina’s forms are treated as two separate Pokemon, while Hoopa is a single Pokemon that can change forms whenever.
However, it’s been confirmed that players who catch a Sky Forme Shaymin will be able to change it into Land Forme Shaymin and vice versa. You won’t be able to do this with just a Land Forme Shaymin.
