    Needs Oak's Letter, a Mystery Gift item given out 27 February to 27 March 2022 and no longer obtainable; also requires the Hall of Fame and National Pokédex, and the encounter is not shiny locked.

    Needs Oak's Letter. Nintendo's own distribution ended years ago, but fan-run Mystery Gift servers (reached by setting a custom DNS in the console's Wi-Fi settings) still hand it out. That is unofficial and could stop at any time.

Diamond/Pearl

Can't be moved to HOME from this game. Shaymin caught in Flower Paradise in Diamond or Pearl is not marked as a fateful encounter, so Poké Transporter refuses it. Only the Platinum one can reach Bank and HOME.

    Needs Oak's Letter. Nintendo never gave it out for Diamond and Pearl, but fan-run Mystery Gift servers (reached by setting a custom DNS in the console's Wi-Fi settings) hand it out for the Sinnoh games. That is unofficial and could stop at any time. It can't be moved to Bank or HOME: catch it in Platinum if you want it there.
