How do I get Sky Forme Shaymin in Pokémon Go? 

It’s not currently possible to encounter a wild Sky Forme Shaymin in Pokémon Go, as the Pokémon is a mythical legendary, so it doesn’t spawn naturally. So far, Sky Forme Shaymin’s only distribution is as part of Pokémon Go Fest 2022, where players could purchase a research ticket and encounter Sky Forme Shaymin after completing special research tasks.

However, if you have a Land Forme Shaymin, you can follow the steps below to change it into Sky Forme.

Can Shaymin swap forms in Pokémon Go? 

You can change Shaymin’s form by following these steps:

  • Open up Pokémon Go
  • Under Pokémon, search Shaymin
  • Underneath the power up button is ‘change form’
  • If you have 25 Shaymin candy and 10k stardust, click on ‘change form’
  • You can now change your Sky Forme Shaymin to Land Forme and back again

That’s it for our Pokémon Go Shaymin guide. We hope you snag the adorable mythical soon. If you do grab the little green hedgehog, be sure to check out our guides explaining the grass Pokémon weakness and flying Pokémon weakness next.
