does shedinja only evolve from nincada at lv20 or can it be later? ;292;

 

[Clockwork Ninja]

anytime. as long as there is an extra space in your party

 

[Shadow phoenix]

thanks i'm going to evolve my nincada on emerald then get evolve my other one at lv45

 

[Jusmatsta]

really if you want a good move set then i suggest you evolve it before lv 45

You can evolve at level 25 when ninjask can learn swords dance so shedinja can also learn swords dance at that only time possible.

 

[OgLoc187]

Can't it re-learn the moves its previous form it was in by move tutors?

 

[SlwaBluPhnx]

No if you gonna teach shedinja nincada moves, than you have to teach nincada those moves. Hearth scale tutor only teaches attacks that shedinja learn, not ninjask or nincada

 

[Can't think of a name]

I'm training a Shedinja and almost all the moves it learns aren't that great (shadow ball is an obvious exeption) so I looked through the TMs it can learn and saw that it could learn Substitute from the tutors. But that's just insane cause it would die.

But you still can teach Shedinja moves via TM, but it's best to teach them to nincada as well for more variety

I have my Shedinja in my party and I only use it to help catch Pokemon using the False Swipe it got from Nincada. So I had to evolve it at Level 25. It also has Shadow Ball and some HM's I never use. I use it in battle on rare occasions, like if I need time to reheal my party, it's Wonder Guard is useful at times.

This could have gone into the Shedinja discussion in the FAQ's.
Here's the link but I thought that the answer would be obvious. Meh that's just me.

 

[~*Myuu the Ryuu*~]

has anyone tried using substitute on a shedinja?

 

[Expert Evan]

If you let evolve at level 25, shedinja can learn both false swipe & swords dance which I found useful from the time I caught a modest kyogre as kyogre did not have any moves effective against a shedinja.

 

[~*Myuu the Ryuu*~]

i wish it could learn endeavor!
though it learns endure lol

if it has a focus band on it will it still work normally?

 

[WaterDragon trainer]

Sorry if this is such an irrelevant question, but I was planning on teaching Shedinja Mimic and have it Mimic my Swampert's Endeavor. If I have Shedinja Mimic Endeavor, does it permanently keep the move Endeavor, or does it just last for one battle???????

 

[Iron_Mew]

It'll just last for one battle.

 

[~*Myuu the Ryuu*~]

what if you mimic a sketch from a smeargle, then in the same battle, sketch endeavor!

 

[Absol!]

what if you mimic a sketch from a smeargle, then in the same battle, sketch endeavor!

I don't know if that would work...

On Topic: Yes, Shedinja can evolve from Nincada any level 20+. Another thing is, peope often say you need a spare Pokeball in your bag, but I've found that none disappears when my Nincada evolves.

 

[indigestible_wad]

No, this is the same question that was brounght up in GSC. you cannot keep any move learned from sketch if sketch was learned from mimic. It just goes away when the battle is over.

For those of you talking about Shedinja movesets, if you have no life you can try to get a Fighting Hidden Power type on it. A pretty typical moveset for Shedinja is Shadow Ball/HP:Fighting/Protect/[Swords Dance/Toxic]. Usually @Lum berry. Of course, for a Choice Bander, you'd want Silver Wind over Protect, and... something... over the 4th move.

has anyone tried using substitute on a shedinja?

You can use it, but it always fails.

if it has a focus band on it will it still work normally?

Considering FB can work multiple times in a row against a 1 HP poke, I'd say so.

Shedinja

Here are the steps to get a Shedinja.

1. Catch a nincada

2. Put it in the 5th space and give it a Exp.Share

3. Make sure the 6th space is empty

4. Train nincada to Lv: 20 (Use a Lv: 100 Pokemon)

5. You have a Shedinja

Warning!

Shedinja has 1 HP and its ability is Wonder Gaurd - "Super Effective" Hits

It has alot of Attack, i'm not joking
