Catching Shaymin

After beating them all, follow the path and you will find Shaymin. Have your sync ready, a swiper, and plenty of Pokéballs. Having a Master Ball at hand is widely recommended, as it reduces the chances of the fight going bad. If by any reason, you fail to catch Shaymin, you can earn a second chance by beating the Nikola boss in Trainers Valley.

The pink tree behind where Shaymin was caught will change it to its Easter form. To change it into its Sky form, you must go to the Shaymin shrine in Route 224
