To answer the question directly, yes, you can turn Shaymin back to its Land Forme, and this can be achieved by depositing and withdrawing it from the pasture in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, or it will automatically revert to Land Form at the start of a battle if it’s nighttime. Additionally, Shaymin will also change back to its Land Forme at 8pm every day, so players must transform it back to Sky Forme using the Gracidea Flower during the daytime if they wish to use it in its Sky Forme.
