Sword dance on Shedinja

[Nicki]

How can I train Shedinja Sword Dance? I found it on another Pokemon site for a moveset.

Don't let Nincada evolve until level 25. Then both Ninjask and Shedinja will get Swords Dance.

Don't let Nincada evolve until level 25. Then both Ninjask and Shedinja will get Swords Dance.

You can do that for any move that nincada learns naturally or ninjask learns the lvl it evolves (Ex: lvl 25= swords dance, lvl 31= slash, lvl 38= agility).

(Not trying to critisize you Geodude. I just found some other interesting moves for sheddy to know.)

Cool, I needed that too!

Here's the moveset I use for shedinja in battle dome gold against dome ace tucker:

- swords dance (evolve nincada at level 25 and let ninjask learn SD)
- silver wind (masquerain -> nincada)
- shadow ball (TM30)
- aerial ace (taught masquerain with TM40 -> nincada)

Now if you want to use shedinja as a capturer especially for kyogre:

- swords dance (evolve nincada at level 25 and let ninjask learn SD)
- false swipe (let nincada learn FS at level 25 then evolve like above)

Works like a charm...

... Expert Evan, you do know that shedinja learns shadow ball naturally at level 38, right? no need to use a TM.

My bad. I did use the TM30 for shadow ball on masquerain so all the nincada offsprings already knew shadow ball for EV training purposes when facing paras in FR/LG for attack. TM30 is an expensive earnable item in FR/LG along with ice beam, thunderbolt & flamethrower, so it's easy to forget how necessary it is anymore.
