I’d like to add to your argument by pointing out the fact that the evolution cutscene literally shows Nincada evolving into Ninjask, not Shedinja. The requirement is to evolve Nincada with an empty slot in your party and a pokeball in your bag, and if your Nincada is nicknamed, Shedinja doesn’t take on said nickname, Ninjask does, so it’s pretty clear that Nincada doesn’t become Shedinja.

I actually knew this instantly because not only am I just a huge pkmn nerd, but also because I love Shedinja because I used to use em on a team that I would use against my noob friend.

Lets go, i finally guessed it right, i just thought of evolved pokemon with bad stats and remembered shedinja's hp

Yeah, well it gets one of the most interesting abilities as a trade, lol.

"You might be hitting yourself if you didn't guess it" bruh i literally face-palmed two times when i saw shedinja 😂😂😂

It's a reasonable thing to overlook considering they are technically wrong - Shedinja isn't actually an evolution, merely a "byproduct" of the evolution. Nincada evolves into Ninjask, and Shedinja just... appears.

Porygon-Z trades some of its defenses for more special attack and speed, so it’s effectively a plus 60 or so from Porygon2 but it’s frailer now

Off topic but the metallic texture on scizor looks so good in S/V wow

Does Nincada technically EVOLVE into Shedinja though? It’s more of a bi product from its evolution into Ninjask, I think

Technically it is considered a new pokemon that is automatically caught/directly added to your party when at least one slot is empty.

@LPFan That seems pretty inaccurate. All official sources (that I know of) list it as an evolution. The top fan sites have it considered as an evolution. Additionally Shedinja receives all EVs, IVs, nature, and most importantly met location from Nincada. Personally I consider the met location as the ultimate indicator that it is an evolution. You can say that *you* consider it a new Pokémon but I'd have to say that overall it is considered an evolution by both the game and the community overall.

@@tinkerer3399 From the german Wiki: "Im Tagebuch aus Pokémon Diamant und Perl steht, nachdem man Ninjatom mit Ninjask erhalten hat, nicht, dass sich Nincada in es entwickelt hätte, sondern dass man ein wildes Ninjatom gefangen hat."("In the diary in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, it's not written after obtaining Shedinja alongside Ninjask that Nincada evolved into it, but rather that one caught a wild Shedinja") Additionally, it requires a new pokeball to be in the player's inventory after Gen 3, going along with that thread of logic.

Why did they do that to bros Speed stat

they really should have moved shedinjas base stats from defense and hp to purely speed and attack

Scizor and scyther sharing a stat total is amazing. That's my favorite pokemon and I didn't know that it doesn't get that much stronger after evolving. Just by looking at the stats, one might say it even doesn't. It was just that strong from the get go!

The situation with Scyther and Scizor actually gets more interesting when you consider you can have the former hold an eviolite, making it overall more flexible and just as bulky if you consider it can be taught Roost.

Scyther can be pretty good to use to. Especially if you get him with the technician ability, big bite, arial ace, swords dance, and brick break.

Shedinja also has one HP, doesn't increase in that stat, and has wonder guard. So an * should be included after this.

Do keep in mind that you need an extra space in your party, and a pokeball in your bag (it can be any pokeball, but LEAVE THE MASTER BALL IN THE PC, OR GIVE IT TO A POKÉMON TO HOLD. If you don't, then the Shedinja will go into that instead)

I love giving Shedinja 'sturdy' ngl.

I wish they would make more Pokémon competitively viable

I rate how he ends it with "meaning there's" to turn it into a proper loop.

He says SHEDNINJA no video needed like this as thanks for saving you time

Is it just me that doesn't really think of Shedninja as an evolution, mainly due to the fact that it just a discarded shell possessed and not Ninjask itself. Although it makes you wonder what other Pokemon could undergo this treatment

I would guess any Pokemon that goes through a metamorphosis, at evolution could theoretically be discarded and possessed by a ghost type.
