It evolves from Nincada at level 20, and uniquely, if a trainer has an empty slot in their party and a Poké Ball in their bag when Nincada evolves into Ninjask, a Shedinja will also appear in their party. This evolutionary quirk is a cornerstone of its lore. Ninjask is known for its incredibly high speed, often described as being so fast it's almost invisible. Its wings beat at such a rapid pace that they create a high-pitched sound, which is said to give people headaches if heard for too long. In the games, Ninjask is often used for its Speed Boost ability, allowing it to outspeed many opponents. In the anime, it has been featured in various episodes, typically showcasing its agility and speed in battles. Its design, resembling a cicada, ties into its natural habitat, often found in forests and grassy areas where cicadas are common. The dual evolution into Ninjask and Shedinja adds a layer of mystery and strategic depth to its role in the Pokémon world, making it a memorable and intriguing species.
