Name origin
The name Shedinja originates from the words shed and ninja.
Availability
Shedinja is only available in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
To get Shedinja, level up Nincada to Level 20 and have at least one empty space in your team of six Pokémon. Once it evolves into Ninjask, this Pokémon will appear in the empty slot.
Information
Shedinja's hard body doesn't move – not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell. It is believed that this Pokémon will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back. It is a peculiar Pokémon. It seems to appear unsought in a Pokéball after a Nincada evolves. This Pokémon doesn't breathe.
Shedinja has only one hit point. However, its WONDER GUARD ability completely protects Shedinja from all damage from any attack that isn't supereffective, in addition to effects from those attacks. However, the ability does not protect against poison and other status effects that, considering Shedinja's single HP, spell instant death. However, if the opponent has no abilities that can damage it, Shedinja is invincible until it runs out of PP and is forced to use Struggle, killing itself.
