Can I get the Gracidea Flower if the Shaymin in my party was obtained through tweaking in Platinum?

I just want to know if I can get the Gracidea or not before I go through the trouble of shiny hunting it because I want to be able to get Onimous Wind on him, but everything that I’ve seen is contradictory; “Oh, it just needs to have the ‘fateful encounter’ flag and everything’ll be fine.” and “No, it needs to be the TRU Toys R' Us event or it’ll never work.” or “You actually need the wonder card in order for it to work.”

CAN I PLEASE JUST GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER!?

Thank you in advance.

TheBulbapedia article on the Gracideastates only that you need a fateful encounter Shaymin in your party to get the Gracidea. The Shaymin doesnotneed to be from the Toys ‘R Us event (however,that particular Shaymindoes have the ‘fateful encounter’ flag). This is supported bya comment from ChickasaurusGL, who is a well-known researcher.

I found conflicting information on whether a Shaymin that does not have a ‘fateful encounter’ flag is able totransformto Sky Forme, but it is quite clear that you need a fateful encounter Shaymin to get the Gracidea to begin with.

According to theBulbapedia article on Shaymin, any Shaymin encountered in Flower Paradisein Platinumwill have the fateful encounter flag. However, a Shaymin encountered in Flower Paradisein Diamond/Pearlwillnothave the ‘fateful encounter’ flag (source,source).

This is where you run into a problem. If you’re playing Pokemon Platinum, you cannot reach Shaymin using the void glitch and tweaking. This is because the void glitch was largely patched in Platinum (source). Furthermore, if you were to reach Flower Paradise some other way (e.g. cheating) in Platinum, then Shaymin will not be there unless you have Oak’s Letter (source).

No, you cannot get the Gracidea Flower if the Shaymin was acquired by tweaking. The Shaymin HAS to be a FATEFUL ENCOUNTER Shaymin.
