Nincada/Ninjask/Shedinja

[Steven]

Would it be a good idea to make Nincada's speed higher if I evolve it into Ninjask because of it's speed boost?

On this website it says that the base stats for nincada's attack is 45 and defense is 90. Well, when it evolves into shedinja, the base stats are reversed. Now my question is, why would shedinja even need a base stat for attack and defense. They should be zero. I mean what is he actually going to defend against, and which two stats should I try to raise for it? Attack, SPATK, or Speed?

How can Nincada use flash if it stays under ground and is afraid of light? :eek:

Is Nincada better than Shedinja, because the base stats of Nincada are bigger...

I'm not sure or not, but if Nincada can learn Curse, does it change when it evolves into Shedinja?

To me,I think Shedinja is better. Good ability(Wonderguard),great attack and good def and speed. Sucks in the special dept. though. Its good moves are Silver Wind and Shadow Ball.

Wonderguard aka the Wonderful Guard.

Nincanda: Go use a Magikarp or something.

Ninjask: It can't survive any decent hits. Max Attack, and the rest between HP and Speed should do something nice. Protect, Swords Dance, Baton Pass and Silver Wind is a good choice on it.

Shedinja: Shedinja doesn't have many weaknesses, and if you team don't have something S/E on it, you're history. Though Damaging Weathers, Burn/Poison kills it. Shadow Ball, Swords Dance, Confuse Ray, Silver Wind is my choice, though something else on CRay would be useful. EVs in Attack, Speed and the other 6...Ditch it somewhere.

Blahberry.

Please don't bring back old threads..

But anyway, to answer your question:
True, you can't breed Shedinja but..
Get a male Ninjask to level 25 where it learns Sword Dance. Breed it with a female Ninjask/Nincada and the baby Nincada will know Sword Dance. When it reaches level 20 and evolves, the spare Shedinja will have the same moves as Nincada did before it evolved, thus, it will have Sword Dance.

There might be some other things you can breed it with, too lazy to look but that'd be your best bet.

that doesnt work

just tried it

i had a ninjask with sworddance adn i mated it with a female nincada and the baby did not retain sworddance

[boltAge]

To get a Shedinja with Swords Dance, simply get Nincanda to a level when Ninjask would learn SDance. Before that, cancel evolution. Then when evolving, Ninjask would learn SDance, and Shed would get it too.

Really? Hmm... *Burns R/S Strategy Guide* Bunch of off-brand liars. :susp:

[Ironshell Blastoise]

Strategy guides from Nintendo suck...

BTW, Swords Dance>Confuse Ray. Put Swords Dance over Toxic though, since Confuse Ray can prevent them from hitting you with a move that is SE to Shedinja =0
