Read more ↓Shedinja is a unique Bug/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, evolving from Nincada at the same time as Ninjask, but only if the player has an empty slot in their party and an extra Poké Ball. This peculiar evolution method highlights its ethereal nature, as Shedinja is essentially the discarded husk of Nincada, animated by an unknown force. Its Pokédex entries consistently describe it as a hollow shell, not moving its wings and not breathing, with its true nature often linked to the spirit world. Shedinja is known for its "Wonder Guard" ability in the main series games, which makes it immune to all attacks except those that are super effective, inflict status conditions, or are indirect damage. This makes it a strategic powerhouse against certain opponents, but incredibly vulnerable to others. Its natural habitat is often near forests or ancient ruins where Nincada are found, reflecting its origin as a shed skin. In the anime, Shedinja often appears as a mysterious and somewhat unsettling presence, emphasizing its ghost-like qualities. Its unique evolution and abilities have cemented its place as a memorable and distinct Pokémon within the franchise, representing themes of transformation and the supernatural.
