Shaymin in Pokemon Survivor

Shaymin at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Shaymin has 115 HP, 120 speed and a 1.25x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is well above average, its speed is well above average and its attack is above average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 67.4, which puts it at rank 168 overall, rank 24 of 107 among Sinnoh Pokemon and rank 8 of 118 Grass-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Shaymin sits next to Manaphy one place above it and Victini one place below it.

Shaymin moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Shaymin starts every run with Vine Whip: long-range whips in a wide arc.

The level-up cards can then offer 12 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 4 moves of its own type. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Grass moves: Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, Petal Blizzard, Grass Knot

Weaknesses and resistances

Shaymin takes extra damage from Fire (1.6x), Ice (1.6x), Poison (1.6x), Flying (1.6x), and Bug (1.6x). It resists Water (0.6x), Electric (0.6x), Grass (0.6x), and Ground (0.6x). The remaining 9 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Shaymin are the ones whose first type is Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, or Bug. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Grass moves do not hit harder just because Shaymin shares the type.

How to get Shaymin

Shaymin is part of the Sinnoh banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 15 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Shaymin a 0.1% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 653 pulls to land this particular one.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Shiny Shaymin exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Shaymin as an enemy

Shaymin never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.

As a legendary it can also be the opponent in a rift. The game picks a rift legendary at random and favors the ones you have not beaten yet, then builds an arena from one of its types: Emerald Jungle (Grass). Its attack set is a ground slam, a leap onto your position, falling danger zones, and a fan of beams. See the rifts guide and the legendaries guide.
