Shedinja is a Bug/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Type: Bug/Ghost

Abilities:

• Wonder Guard: Only super effective moves will hit Shedinja

Physical Characteristics:

• Appears as a hollow, brown insect-like exoskeleton
• Has a halo floating above its head, signifying its ghostly nature
• Possesses a pair of tattered, translucent wings
• Expressionless face with empty eyes
• Has a small body with a shell-like exterior

Behavior and Habitat:

• Does not actively seek out habitats; appears spontaneously
• Often found in dark, secluded areas like caves or abandoned buildings
• Remains motionless, hovering slightly above the ground
• Tends to be enigmatic and passive, not displaying typical behaviors of living Pokémon

In Battle:

• Unique due to its 1 HP and Wonder Guard ability, making it immune to all but super effective moves
• Commonly uses moves like Shadow Sneak and X-Scissor
• Effective against Psychic, Dark, and Grass types due to its Ghost/Bug typing
• Highly vulnerable to super effective moves such as Fire, Flying, Rock, Ghost, and Dark types

Evolution:

• Evolves from Nincada when Nincada evolves into Ninjask at level 20, provided there is an empty space in the party and an extra Poké Ball
• The evolution occurs simultaneously, resulting in both a Ninjask and a Shedinja

Interesting Facts:

• Known for its unique evolution method and battle mechanics
• Its Pokédex entries often describe it as having the ability to steal the spirit of anyone who peeks into its hollow back
• Represents the shed exoskeleton of a Nincada, gaining life as a ghostly entity
• Its Wonder Guard ability makes it a strategic choice in battles despite its vulnerability

Shedinja's unusual characteristics and battle strategies make it a Pokémon that requires careful planning to use effectively, often surprising opponents with its unexpected resilience against non-super effective moves.
