As per the feat, you gain the extraordinary and supernatural abilties of the assumed form (celestial animal).
But as per the celestial template (MM p 31) everything except the special smite evil attack are simply labelled "qualities" (darkvision, damage reduction etc...).
Rules of the game (like it or not):
<http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040511a>
"You usually gain any extraordinary special attacks your assumed form has, but not the assumed form's extraordinary special qualities. That's because most extraordinary special attacks are based off gross physical features (such a big, nasty claws and teeth) while extraordinary special qualities tend to be subtler and largely derived from a creature's essential nature."
and
"When polymorphing, you retain most of your own supernatural abilities, but you don't gain the assumed form's supernatural abilities unless you're using the shape change spell."
What gives? Do I gain ANYTHING except smite evil by wildshaping into a celestial animal?
