Shaymin poster

Update: Pokémon.com has acknowledged the event today on their webpage. This confirmed that the English name of the Glacidea Flower is the Gracidea. This item can be obtained in Pokémon Platinum if the player has this Shaymin in their party. It can be used to transform Shaymin from its Land Forme into its Sky Forme.

Earlier this week, Toys "R" Us created a Facebook event page for a Shaymin giveaway to be held Feb. 8-14 in participating U.S. stores. Players of Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can obtain Shaymin from in-store DS Download Stations. The store will also distribute a coupon for $5 off any Pokémon Nintendo DS game and a free Pokémon poster. As usual with Toys "R" Us events, this Shaymin will be caught in a Cherish Ball. Shaymin will know Seed Flare, Aromatherapy, Substitute, and Energy Ball, and will hold a Micle Berry.

Coupon for $5 off a Pokémon DS game

However, Toys "R" Us deleted the event listing today. This came after Pokemon.com posted an announcement that it will reveal the event on Thursday. The Pokemon.com announcement did not give any details about the event, only that there would be one. However, Pokemon.com has also deleted its page about the event.
