Massive thank you to Bhen for this information! 😄

 

Once you have collected your 12 Tablets, you will not find any more of that tablet type* (confirmation needed)

 

You will not lose your tablets until the end of the event!

 

Once you have collected 12 Dead Flowers, Proceed to Floaroma Meadow and use them on the pillar for a Shaymin

 

INFO 28/01 18:28 CET: NO BADGE REQUIREMENT FOR SHAYMIN ENCOUNTERS - CONFIRMED BY RACHE

 

With Shaymin first in your team speak to the girl NPC in the middle of Floaroma Town and she will give you 9x Gracideas.

 

IMPORTANT** To Grow your own Gracidea, you need to plant 3. Planting 1 will result in getting berries.

 

Abundant Shrine Event

 

Interact with the fortune teller NPC in Celadon City (Kanto), Slateport City (Hoenn), Hearthome City (Sinnoh) or Nacrene City (Unova). If you're solo, you'll be queued to be matched with other players, since the event requires a team. If you're in a link already, all your link members have to interact with the NPC (doesn't need to be the same region) and you'll be dropped in together.

 

To win, Possess pokemon from the starting house and collect them at the shrine as you defeat the waves. Every so often you'll have to defeat a boss challenge as well. The waves and bosses get progressively more difficult as they go on. (Thanks DamianTe)

 

Red Envelopes/Lucky Red Envelopes are earned here. Lucky Red Envelopes are earned after 3 bosses. You get all of your rewards when you lose, or you quit. To quit, talk to the cone in the starting house.
