The Pokémon has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Fire-type attacks with a ×2 weakness. Shaymin’s attacks include "Call for Family," which allows the player to search their deck for two Basic Pokémon and place them on their Bench before shuffling the deck, and "Leaf Drain," a Grass energy-cost attack that deals 30 damage and grants a 30 HP heal if a coin flip results in heads. The card’s flavor text describes Shaymin as a Pokémon whose flowers bloom in response to affection and gratitude. Designed by artist Kagemaru Himeno, Shaymin’s abilities emphasize strategic deck manipulation and defensive recovery. This card is part of the original Pokémon TCG expansion that introduced several iconic designs and mechanics.

The flowers all over its body burst into bloom if it is lovingly hugged and senses gratitude.
