That's right! They're not gods, though. More like..... myths, I guess? There are plenty of stories about Shaymin, and most people are pretty sure they exist, but I don't think anyone's ever managed anything like real study or documentation in the modern era.

According to the stories, though, they have an incredible gift for healing and purification. They supposedly absorb the toxins from wherever they go, and they can make even the most barren land burst into bloom.
