This unique Pokémon is known for its ability to evolve into two distinct forms: Ninjask, a swift and agile cicada-like Pokémon, and Shedinja, a mysterious ghost-like Pokémon that is left behind as Nincada sheds its skin during evolution. Nincada typically inhabits forests and caves, spending most of its life underground, absorbing nutrients from tree roots. Its diet primarily consists of tree sap and other plant matter, which it extracts using its sharp claws. In the games, Nincada is often encountered early on, providing players with an interesting evolutionary mechanic.

Its unique evolutionary path, yielding two Pokémon from one, makes it a memorable and culturally significant Pokémon, representing themes of transformation and duality within the Pokémon world.
