Read more ↓Nincada is a small, cicada-like Pokémon, notable for its unique Bug/Ground typing, a combination that offers interesting strategic advantages and weaknesses. Introduced in Generation III with the Hoenn region, Nincada evolves into two distinct Pokémon: Ninjask at level 20, and simultaneously, if there's an empty slot in the player's party and a spare Poké Ball, Shedinja, a Ghost/Bug type that inherits Nincada's HP. This dual evolution makes Nincada a truly singular Pokémon in the franchise. Its natural habitat includes forests and caves, where it lives underground, absorbing nutrients from tree roots. Nincada is known for its quiet and reclusive nature, often remaining hidden for extended periods before emerging. In the games, its early availability and unique evolution mechanics make it a memorable encounter for players. In the anime, Nincada often appears in episodes focusing on Bug-type Pokémon or forest environments, highlighting its life cycle and connection to nature. Its design, resembling a nymphal cicada, gives it a distinct aesthetic, and its evolutionary line explores themes of shedding and transformation, which resonate culturally as symbols of renewal and change.
