DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Coming Soon: Landorus:The Movie Ferrothorn:A 2 Hour Documentary Girafarig:The 7 Minute Ad
-
Anyway, I like that Shaymin is a literal "Hedge" hog
-
I flinched every time I tried to watch this video.
-
All the Mythical Pokemon’s stats be like: HP:💯 Attack:💯 Defense:💯 Sp. Atk:💯 Sp. Def:💯 Speed:💯
-
Togekiss: who are you? Shaymin: i'm you but stronger
-
Ohh boy, this ferrothorn episode is probably going to be a two parter
-
13:00 "a lot of players didn't even know that shaymin learns swords dance" Me: WAIT SHAYMIN LEARNS SWORDS DANCE?!
-
"Awww, what an adorable little grass hedgehog, let me cuddle you" Shaymin: Uses seed flare and drops special defence by 2 stages whilst dealing massive damage
-
This week on the Lickitung Show we rate Shaymin's lickability. Shaymin has a somewhat dry taste, yet exceptionally sweet at the same time. It also smells great. Sadly, the leaves on its back can be quite sharp and may hurt your tongue. Lickability rating: 7/10 "quite lickable". The Lickitung Show is a weekly show that will run until Lickitung is featured on this channel. See you all next week!
-
I flinched when seeing sky form
-
Here is a bit of a PSA for the comment section: Smogon has recently added an NUBL tier to gen 2. It only contains 4 Pokemon: Feraligatr, Poliwrath, Raichu, and Golduck. Nothing too notable, but I don't think a lot of people really knows about this.
-
If Shaymin's video is 20+ minutes just imagine how long a Landarous or Arceus video would be
-
I don't know that Shaymin's necessarily the cutest according to everyone, but I always found it had a cool signature ability in absorbing pollution and using it in attacks. Reminds me of a biology project in elementary school where we had to survey the plants in our environment for signs of pollution (using some species-specific information from our book). It's a cool science-y allusion to the real world.
-
Hey look! FSG did a Pokemon with multiple forms. Glad to see they’ve found a format for them. Lando soon...?
-
Here's a little known fact: If sky shaymin gets frozen it will revert to it's normal form
-
I’m so grateful that Shaymin is getting covered. I don’t think it’s a mythical that gets enough love.
-
Ah yes, the hedgehog that sounds like a dolphin who has a deer form that's basically Togekiss on steroids. XD
-
Skymin was that one kid in school that liked to pretend punch people.
-
I’ve always loved the design on this little guy, unfortunately never got s chance to use it or even encounter it. If only there was like a main story event involving it. Feels like it would be a good box legendary along with victini
-
Disliked. Everybody knows seed miss has a 100% chance to drop spdef if your opponent uses it and 10% chance if you use it
