Name origin
The name Nincada originates from the words ninja and cicada. When Nincada evolves, it sheds it's shell whole just as a cicada does. This shell becomes a second Pokemon, Shedinja. It is worth noting that this is the only instance in the game series that a tame Pokemon spawns outside of a breeding center.
