** The other option is to catch a Nincada in {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold or SoulSilver|s}} via the [[Bug Catching Contest]] in a [[Sport Ball]], trade it to {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, Pearl|s}}, or {{v2|Platinum}}, and evolve it there. Because the Sport Ball is not coded to exist in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it copies the Ball to the Shedinja without reassigning it to have a basic Poké Ball. This effect would also apply to any other Balls that are considered "out-of-bounds" by these games, such as [[Apricorn]] Balls, but in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Nincada is only obtainable in the wild from the Bug Catching Contest, in which only Sport Balls can be used. | ** The other option is to catch a Nincada in {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold or SoulSilver|s}} via the [[Bug Catching Contest]] in a [[Sport Ball]], trade it to {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, Pearl|s}}, or {{v2|Platinum}}, and evolve it there.

* Prior to [[Generation V]], if Nincada learns a move upon evolving into {{p|Ninjask}}, Shedinja will also know this move. This means that Shedinja can learn any of Ninjask's level up moves starting at level 20, but can only simultaneously have multiple of them if they are learned at the same level.
