No. 292: Shedinja

And they said all creativity was gone from Pokemon by the third gen...

Shedinja is just so neat, you guys, I love it. First, he doesn't really evolve. You have to evolve a Nincada, and have a spare pokeball, and he just kinda shows up there. Where'd he come from? Is he the shed skin of the Nincada, possessed by a ghost? I think so. How creepy would that be, to be on a team with the possessed shell of your former self? I think that would be a solid 9/10 on the Creep-o-meter.

Shedinja also has, hands-down, the best ability in the game. If its not super-effective, he just doesn't take damage. Like a boss. Only having 1 hp almost makes this worthless, because he does have quite a few weaknesses, and only one hit from literally anything effective kills him, but I love to take out anything that can threaten him on my opponent's team, and then just send him in to Shadow Ball them to death. Sorry, Garchomp. Sorry, Gyarados. You just don't happen to have any moves that can do jack shit to my Shedinja.

He's creepy, he's unique, he has a neat design, and he's a Bug/Ghost type. How could I not love him?


Overall: 10/10
