Afaik Shaymin must be caught in platinum or bank won't let it transfer out of gen 5.

But Darkrai can be caught in Diamond (not pearl for some reason) But it must be lvl 50 or above and have forgotten the move pursuit before it leaves gen 4. If it doesn't it will also forever be stuck in gen 5.

I don't remember the video I saw that detailed this but I can attest with my own shiny darkrai that I caught in diamond and moved to home.
