Hey
I kind of got a bit back into Pokemon lately. I've been watching an old Pokemon Emerald lets play of Chuggaaconroy and when he mentioned Shedinja I've always wondered a few things:
1. I know that Shedinja is a discarded bug shell. It somehow is alive but I never got how that worked. Like, in the game, when you evolve Nincada and have a free slot and a Pokeball, you get a free Shedinja. How is this Shedinja ever formed if the appearance for Nincada changed into Ninjask?
2. Is there any connection between the fact it's a discardedbug shell that's alive and the fact it has wonder guard? Like is that maybe the reason it has wonder guard or something?
3. Shedinja is a pokemon that is alive, but doesn't move or breathe. Is it really a pokemon or more like a ghost?
4. The pokedex entry states:
A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit.
The last part says if you peer into the crack on its back your spirit will get stolen. After all this years this is the first time I've seen this. How would this work? Like, it doesn't move or breathe, and how will it know whether you're peering into it? And would it work on human, pokemon or both?
I hope I don't sound dumb but I've never taken much interest in Shedinja because in the past I never knew how to use it strategically and I've never seen the pokedex entry in the past.
