Pokémon GO: How strong is Shaymin that you will receive at GO Fest 2022?

In Pokémon GO, GO Fest 2022 is already in the starting blocks. This year you can meet the mysterious Pokémon Shaymin. We at MeinMMO took a look at what kind of monster this is and will show you how strong it gets.

Which event is it about? As in previous years, there will be a huge GO Fest again in 2022, where you can take part from anywhere in the world. Of course, numerous bonuses and spawns await you.

Ticket holders can also look forward to another encounter with a special, mysterious Pokémon. At Pokémon GO Fest 2022, you will have the opportunity to meet the hedgehog Pokémon Shaymin for the first time.

When does the GO Fest 2022 take place? GO Fest runs on Saturday, June 4th, 2022 and Sunday, June 5th, 2022 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time.

The new Pokemon Shaymin

What kind of Pokemon is Shaymin? Shaymin is a mysterious fourth-generation Pokémon, also known as the Gratitude Pokémon. Because GO Fest 2022 is about friendship and gratitude, it fits in perfectly with the event.

Shaymin, like some other Pokémon, is a shape-shifter and thus has a land form that is grass-type and a zenith form that is grass-type and flying. However, the Pokémon does not have any advance or further development. During the GO Fest, according to current information, you may encounter the Little Hedgehog landform.

That’s how strong Shaymin is

landform: Shaymin (landform) scores particularly well for its stamina. But his values ​​are also solid in attack and defense. Its values ​​look like this:

• Attack: 210
• Defense: 210
• Endurance: 225

Its attack is a bit stronger than Tangoloss, which only achieves a value of 207. However, Little Hedgehog won’t be able to use a Grass Fast Attack for his moveset.

According to current information, he only has the attacks Reserve Power (normal) and Zen Headbutt (Psycho) available, but both of them do a lot of damage. Shaymin (landform) is still a suitable alternative for use in raids.

Zenith shape: Even stronger than Shaymin’s landform is his zenith form. This can shine with a high value in attack and endurance:

• Attack: 261
• Defense: 166
• Endurance: 225

So it’s even a bit stronger than Zarude and Roserade, which are among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. However, like its landform, the zenith will likely not have any grass fast attacks to fall back on. In raids, however, the zenith form is also a good option.

Shaymin Appearances, Shinys and Locations

This is what Shaymin looks like: The Mythical Pokemon will likely be encountered in its landform during GO Fest. You can recognize this by its hedgehog-like, white body and the spiked dress made of leaves. Its body is adorned with a large pink flower on each side.

The zenith shape, on the other hand, is larger and is reminiscent of a deer due to its delicate body. You can also recognize it by its white body and the green tuft of hair on its head. A red leaf adorns the side of the Pokémon.

Can you catch Shiny Shaymin? Unfortunately, the dazzling variant of the mysterious Pokémon will probably not be available in Pokémon GO for the GO Fest 2022 for the time being.

How to get Shaymin? According to Niantic, there will be special research for GO Fest ticket holders again this year (via pokemongolive.com). This revolves around the gratitude Pokémon and will reward you with an encounter with Shaymin, as you know from past GO festivals.

What do you think of the new Mythical Pokemon? Will you secure a ticket to GO Fest to get Shaymin? Or were you hoping for the debut of another monster? Feel free to write us your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
