4th Gen Where's my shedinja go?

[lionclues]

Can anyone solve a mystery: why am I not getting a shedinja when I'm evolving my nincada?

This happened twice. I know the requirements to get it: level nincada up to 20 and have an empty slot for shedinja.

Both times, I used rare candies to get nincada to level 20. Most recently, I left 4 slots empty for it to appear in. Both times, shedinja didn't appear.

I caught and bred these nincadas in Diamond.

Any ideas, anyone?

You need a pokeball in your bag to get Shedinja as well as an open slot in your party.

The problem is probably what classicrockfan said. If you don't have a regular Poké Ball, it will not appear.

Like a "pokeball" pokeball? I thought it didn't matter what kind of pokeball I had in stock for it to appear (e.g. I have a bunch of duskballs), but that certainly sounds like it's the answer. Thanks, and I'll go try it out.

The weakest Pokeball Type of pokebALL. The red one!!!

 

[Umanouski]

not for nothing, but you should always carry a good stock of every kind of pokeball there is, you never know when you will need a regular pokeball, ultraball, or even dive ball.

Ive never head the pokeball rule before. I feel like im new to this all of a sudden!

 

[El Gofre]

Yep, you have to have a pokeball. How would you feel if your shedinja got bundled into your masterball? I'd be a bit miffed

I dont remember that requirement for RSE... I was EV training my nincada in DP when it evolved and my party was full at the time beacause i didn't really need a Shedinja.

Thats just one of those things i had never considered.

 

[Dark Destiny]

eh? does this mean u keep nincada? and you also get the evolution?

 

[El Gofre]

NO! this thread is getting confusing.
1.Have a level 19 Nincada
2.Have an empty slot
3.Have a regular pokeball
4.Level Nincada up
5.Say hello to your barnd new shedinja

There

 

[Olumuyiwa]

Weird, i did the same thing in Emerald without a Pokeball and it worked ^_^

Actually, you would get both Ninjask and Shedinja. Nincada turns into two pokemon at once O_o

 

[Zacceh]

Azonic that'd be weird and improbable o_O But yeah it has to be a regular Pokéball and a free party slot :)

 

[El Gofre]

Actually azonic is right, i thought that went without saying :)

 

[Arrmegedden]

you need an empty space in your party and an extra pokeball in your bag.

 

[WaluigiRedclaw91]

Uh, i dont remember getting both evolutions!

 

[Azonic]

Well yeah, it does. Thats the whole point of a PokeBall and an extra space in your party.

 

[WaluigiRedclaw91]

I get what your saying but that didnt happen for me. I am quite sure id remember something like this but thhat would explain alot. It looks like thos shedded skins you find on trees

 

[EmpoleMew]

I remember in RSE, to get Shedinja, you needed one of the same Pokeball you caught it with. Like, I needed a Great Ball because that's what I caught my Nincada in. I don't know if this is the same in DP.
