Sheimi (シェイミ? Sheimi in original Japanese language versions) is one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. Sheimi is one of the legendary Pokémon that appears in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The purpose of Sheimi in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2]
Sheimi's name contains the Japanese word for seed (実 mi?).

Biological characteristics
Sheimi is a hedgehog-like creature, with spines replaced by grass, resembling a Chia Pet. Sheimi has flowers beside its head, and it resides in a garden. In order to go unnoticed, it can roll up into a ball resembling a flower. It also has the power to decompose the toxins in the air and turn the land into flower fields in an instant.
In the video games
Sheimi makes its first appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS along with many other new Pokémon.
Sheimi is one of the event legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl; the other ones are Manaphy, Darkrai, and Arseus. It, like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Manaphy, has a base stat value of 100 for every stat. In addition, it is the first pure Grass-type legendary Pokémon.
Sheimi is only obtainable through a Nintendo event, which will provide the player with Oak's Letter; Oak's Letter is used at a white rock in Route 224 in order to unlock Sheimi's flower-lined home, the Flower Elysium. The Elysium is a reference to the Elysium of Greek mythology, a section of the Underworld that was not dissimilar to modern day's heaven, a land of plenty where the dead would hope to go. Sheimi appears there at level 30. Its signature move, Seed Flare, has 120 base power and lowers the foe's Special Defense.
A major glitch has been announced by Game Freak that enables capture of Sheimi (along with Darkrai) despite the fact that it is an Event Pokémon. Nintendo has released a patch to rectify this glitch to certain retailers, and it will likely be fixed in the game's translated versions.
