[marillmonster2000]

(For Those Of You Who Have Been Living Under A Rock For The Past Few Years, shedininja Is A Pokemon That Has An Ability Witch Makes No Move Hit Him Exept Super Efective Moves)He Has Bad Stats, Dosen't Learn Any Good Moves, and Is A Really Cheap Strategy.Is Wonder Guard worth It?

[kohei]

Shedininja is GOD.
It's not a cheap move, but a technique.

[Lady Pearl]

Of course, silly! Well, I wouldn't say Shedinja is "ultimately worth it", but he's so cute and wonderful. What technique Shedinja was given! Hmm, let's see. A weakness of his is fire and that's not a good sign. Possibly you could spread some good EVs to him to make him withstand a good battle.

[Mr Cat Dog]

When Shedinja is put against an enemy of which has no attacks super effective, it is king/queen of all Pokemon (Unless the enemy has an attack like Sandstorm)
When it isn't... well - it's screwed.

In a way - Shedinja's like a double-edged sword.

[Iveechan]

Shedinja is also harmed by stuff like Toxic and Sandstorm. But it can be a nightmare for those who are improperly armed. And newbies.

[Dratini927]

I agree with Cat Dog. It is 2 sided basically. If the opponent has anything to hit Shedinja, then it's basically up the creek. But if nothing hits it, then it's almost like an automatic (but slow) win.

I wouldn't really have a Shedinja on my team. It's fairly too weak, and its moves aren't really the best either. So mostly for me, it's a Foe. :P

[MegaDitto]

I think Shedjina is both because of wonder guard is a good use in battle to maky your opponent's pokemon lose PP but when it's burned ,confused or whatever it's not that helpful anymore.

[Frostweaver]

Shedinja is not cheap, and takes a *heavy* amount of skills to be used well. Too many things kill it, especially spike/toxic/leech seed which are very common.

It DOES learn some good attacks with good enough stats (oh wow look its defense is crappy but it has wonderguard anyway so like, who cares?). Aerial Ace, Silver Wind, and Shadowball are all good attacks to have, with the last slot being either Protect or HP Physical.

AHAHAHA and it's such a good calmkou counter XD

[Skarmory469]

I never thought anything special about Shedinja, it generally gets killed by anything it's not immune to :\

If you mean Sp. def EVs or def it won't matter because Shedinja only has one HP and an attack that is super effective against him would K.O., no amount of Sp. def or def EVs would help. :\

[Frostweaver]

though Shedinja really needs to get 2 or 3 HP instead of just 1 hp maximum... it needs that hp boost REAL bad.

[Mullet]

That would help some, but not that much, it would help him survive just a little though. I perfer Ninjask over Shedinja anyway. :\

[Porygon]

I like Shedinja, personally, but I perfer not to use it because it's too easily countered. But... if it could learn Mean Look, to keep something helpless to its might in battle, Sunny Day to counter weather effects [who cares if it boosts Fire attacks? It can't survive them anyway], Safeguard for Confusion/toxication… wow, not much for attacking, *maybe* Solarbeam, but if it could do Mean Look, you'd have a nice trapper/blaster XD

[Pokemaster Jonathan]

It has really bad moves but it is still one of the best pokemon of all time
