Shedinja-related question

I don't want to try this without knowing: is there any way, at all, to get shedinja's HP above 1? Like, HP EV training it or giving it lots of HP Ups?

Because if I could, and gave it a focus sash, it could actually become somewhat useful.

You can never ever raise Shedinja's HP.

Focus Sash works though.

Focus Band's/Focus Sash's didn't work when I tried it. I tought it some really good moves and went against a Meowth just outside Celedon. It was faster and used Scratch. Down in one, so I stashed it a box awaiting transfer to Pearl.

This is Shedinja,right? How can Scratch work against it? I mean its Ghost and Bug types do not make Scratch super effective,does it?

So, if I read this correctly, a Meowth used Scratch at your Shedinja?

Or am I reading your story wrong now?

Yeah, it used Scratch. I don't even know what happened, it just went "whoosh". Normal shouldn't affect it should it?

EDIT: Ack, sorry, wrong pokemon all together. I was using Nincada. ¬_¬ Sorry about that, didn't read it properly...

No you can't focus sash doesn't work since it has 1hp if it had 2 hp then focus sash would work it's basically common sense.

But then essentially, you'd have two attacks worth, unless the pokemon is something like Mime Jr. or Cleffa. Though the AI of wild pokemon is so bad sometimes you could probably count on them using Leer.

Wait a moment: Focus sash isn't supposed to work when the HP is only one. Is shedinja an exception, since at 1 its HP is full?

Shedinja has one HP, always. No matter what.

It would be pointless to want it to go up to 2 anyway. You might aswell just keep it at 1. (That is if it was even possible to raise it, which it's not.)
