I'm not a big fan of Shedninja. Its 1 HP thing
dosen't really fly with me. Even with its ability
to be affected by only super effective moves
I'm not comfortable with it.


1. How it gained a life is a little odd, but it doesn't bother me.
2. I actually think its a pretty cool evolution. Bug/Ghost is an
interesting dual type. I just think it was ruined with the
whole 1 HP and ability.

It's a ghost Pokemon, so I assume it is a spirit that inhabited the shell of a Ninjask/Nicada's body? :S Yeah, I'm clueless.
That's actually a good theory, sorta, but there are some flaws to it. Because it's the shed skin of Ninjask (not Nincada), it's not really a 'shell' per say.

It could be similarly associated with how Banette came into living. After all, it's a discarded doll that has merely been possessed or come into living somehow. :[
I agree with you. But, I think a spirit inhabited a discarded bug shell, and it gave life to Shedinja. :)

Yeah, a spirit gave the shell "life". Plus it gains it's invulnerability to non-super-effective attacks through it's powers. Although it's frail and it's defense stats are practically useless.

It's not a skin. It's a shell from it's cocoon.

I'm going to go with what Bulbapedia has to say about Shedinja. Its a shed skin of Nincada when it evolves into Ninjask. This shell acts as a "Guardian Angel" based on its "halo" and protective behavior towards Ninjask. Also, Shedinja has no soul since it has a pure void at it core that absorbs souls. I think the closest comparison I can make to shedinja is from InuYasha's Kikyo. An empty shell that becomes alive from other souls.
