    Shedinja @ Focus Sash
    Adamant Nature
    EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd
    - Swords Dance
    - X-Sissor
    - Shadow Sneak
    - Will-O-Wisp / Toxic

    Will-O-Wisp is preferred over Toxic, as it can hurt Steel type users, except for Heatran. Most effective way to use Shedinja is to make its appearence somewhere in the end of a battle. If you keep Shedinja hidden for the whole time, it'd be easier for you to finish off anything on your opponent's team, as they most likely wouldn't suspect it coming. Don't use Shedinja early in battles, as it defeats the purpose of using its immunities.
     
    yeah shednija has one of the best abilities in the game, but bad typing a lot of types are super effective on it Shirosaki's moveset should work
     
    I use Shedinja and I use it well. On my Sunny Day team with a spinner.

    Shedinja @ Focus Sash
    252 Attk/252 Spd/4 HP -- Adamant
    Shadow Claw
    X-Scissor

    Protect

    Protect is amazingly useful for scouting, so you know what poses a threat and what doesn't. It can scout for Pursuit. If you find out they will Pursuit you, let Focus Sash take the hit and burn/X-Scissor them. At least the Sash isn't wasted that way.
     
    My friend has a shedinja she trained up to lvl 50 to use for the Battle Tower in Sapphire. Got majorly pissed when it died after the first move of the first battle from sandstorm. So be careful with them.
