Shedinja (Japanese: ヌケニン Nukenin) is a Bug/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is born from the remains of Nincada when it evolves into Ninjask.
Biology
Behavior
Shedinja is an evolutionary byproduct of Nincada's evolution; the discarded husk. This Pokémon is said to have originated from a discarded bug shell, which came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit.
Special abilities
No matter how much a Shedinja is trained, its HP always stays at one as its special ability, Wonder Guard, allows it to take no damage, except from super effective moves.
