Hide and Go Shaymin

Hide and Go Shaymin is a competitive game where each of the shaymins hides somewhere in the house. You have 3 minutes to find them all and return them to the couch. They can only hide where they're visible from a reasonable vantage point without moving anything, so non-transparent drawers and such are out.

and minishaymin are especially good at the game, while Megashaymin tends to have a bit of a hard time.

The shaymins usually win the game, because it's fucking hard. Seriously, it's really fucking hard, I don't think we've ever won. '''EDIT: FUCK YOU BITCH JAMES WON ONCE. HE'S THE BEST.'''

Occasionally The Pumpkaboo will also hide, and, if found, will extend the seeking time by 15 seconds. It still isn't nearly enough, because you always fucking lose this goddamned game.

Gordon has a house rule where you hunt for the shaymins for 3 minutes and 7 seconds.

Setup and Initiation
Traditionally, Hide and Go Shaymin is initiated while the seeking party (unbeknownst to them) is in the bathroom. Getting a stopwatch is a mandatory part of setup, and since assisting the Shaymins in hiding takes up almost all of your limited time, no time is spared trying to secure clothing. Therefore, the most common sign that you're about to play Hide and Go Shaymin is leaving the bathroom only to see someone buck naked on the bed, save for a watch around their wrist. Usually James's.

Mega Victory
On the evening of 13 March, 2016, Daphne played a round of Hide and Go Shaymin, and didn't find Megashaymin. Wow! She even got a one minute extension. Wowza bo bowza!

It was sad and pathetic, really. She hunted around for four goddamned minutes, and Megashaymin was unfound in that time. It's unheard of, and demonstrates her very poor Hide and Go Shaymin abilities, and is indicative of her overall abilities.

Human Victories
On 1 June 2016, James actually won at this game! Woohoo! He clocked in at 2:56, and did not -BOTHER TO- find The Pumpkaboo.

On 26 August, 2017, James won at Hide and Go Shaymin, clocking in at 2:46. He did not retrieve The Pumpkaboo.

Mega Victory II: Electric Boogaloo
On 10 October, 2020, Daphne put in an absolutely shameful performance of Hide and Go Shaymin. She only found two shaymins, and didn't find Megashaymin! Granted they were in extra good spots (thanks to James's extra good hiding advice), but it was embarrassing. And not that it matters, but she didn't find The Pumpkaboo either. She did manage to find Terry, who wasn't even playing—good for her?

The Double Whammy
On the same day of 10 October, 2020, James was unable to locate minishaymin within 3 minutes during the Walk of Shame(in). He was the judge for that game, forgot where minishaymin hid, and then took more than the usual 3 minutes to just find one shaymin.

In my defense, had Daphne not spent five hundred years in the shower during which I had to wait, I probably would have remembered where he hid! And as previously stated, it was a super good hiding job.
