Shedinja is an elusive and unique Pokémon with a fascinating evolution method quite distinct from its counterparts. Known as the “Wonder Guard,” this mysterious Pokémon only has 1 HP but can withstand attacks that are not super effective. To obtain this powerful Bug/Ghost-type Pokémon, follow these five simple steps:

1. Capture Nincada:

First, you will need to capture a Nincada, a Bug and Ground-type Pokémon. You can find Nincada in various Pokémon games, such as Rusturf Tunnel in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Routes 6 and 11 in Pokémon X and Y, or encounters through Sword and Shield’s Max Raid Battles.

2. Check your party slots:

To successfully evolve Shedinja, make sure you have an open slot in your party for it to appear once Nincada evolves into Ninjask. If you do not have an open slot, Shedinja will not be acquired.

3. Get a spare Poké Ball:

Obtaining Shedinja requires an extra Poké Ball to contain it during the evolution process. Ensure you have a spare Poké Ball (a simple one is sufficient) in your Bag for this purpose.

4. Level up Nincada:

Raise your captured Nincada to level 20 by battling other trainers or wild Pokémon or by using Exp candies if available in your game. Once Nincada reaches level 20 or higher, it will evolve into Ninjask.

5. Check for Shedinja:

After evolving Nincada into Ninjask with an open party slot and spare Poké Ball at hand, check your party again, and you should see Shedinja has appeared alongside Ninjask. Congratulations! You have successfully acquired the enigmatic Shedinja.

By following these five steps, you can possess the elusive Shedinja in your Pokémon journey. Its unique ability, Wonder Guard, will become a valuable asset on your team, making battles more strategic and exciting. Good luck, and happy hunting!
