Information

A unique Pokémon inspired by the shed skin of a cicada. It only has 1 HP, but it won't take any damage from attacks unless it is specifically weak to the attack's elemental type. This means that it will seem completely invincible until you find the right attack, and then it will invariably go down in one hit. A Shedinja will appear in the player's party when a Nincada evolves into a Ninjask, being the leftover shed skin, and it is appropriately Bug/Ghost type. Interesting strategies with Shedinja include passing Wonder Guard to another Pokémon with Skill Swap, changing Shedinja into Water-type with Soak, or using Transform to become a Shedinja with more than 1 HP.

Notes

• ~Flying
• ~Shedinja's special Ability, called Wonder Guard, makes it completely immune to any attacks that aren't "super effective" against it (here represented by its +5 Elemental Modifiers). However, while it won't take any damage from attacks, and it won't receive any Status Problems or other effects from such damaging attacks, it can receive Status Problems from attacks that purely induce them without dealing direct damage, and Shedinja will take damage from Status Problems or from other things like Weather Conditions even if it isn't Elementally weak to those conditions. Also, in the games, it is additionally weak to the Dark and Ghost types, so the Maestro may make sufficiently dark or ghostly attacks work on it as well (for example, maybe the default dark magic); if so, these will also deal +5.
