'''Ninjask''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テッカニン''' ''Tekkanin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.
'''Ninjask''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テッカニン''' ''Tekkanin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nincada}} starting at [[level]] 20. This evolution can trigger the creation of a second Pokémon, {{p|Shedinja}}, if the player has an empty slot in their [[party]] and an extra {{i|Poké Ball}} on hand.


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nincada}} starting at [[level]] 20. Its evolution can trigger the creation of a second Pokémon: {{p|Shedinja}}.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ninjask is a small, cicada-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two pairs of wings. Its body is mostly black with accents of yellow and gray. Most of its head is yellow, but there is a solid band of black between its gleaming red eyes. The band expands into a circular pattern on its forehead, between two pointed crests on the sides of its head. The underside of its head is gray and segmented, making it somewhat resemble a veil. On its back is a patch of black with a stretch of yellow, shaped like an upside-down letter Y. Most of its carapace and abdomen is black, but there is a ring of yellow near the tip. Its gray insectoid arms extend from its chest and usually have their small, yellow claws turned inward. There is a similar pair of back legs. It has large, veined wings with triangular, red tipping.
Ninjask are small Pokémon that bear great resemblance to a {{wp|cicada}}. Ninjask’s body is mostly yellow with accentations of black and gray. There is a solid band of black coloration between their gleaming red eyes. The band pools into a circular pattern on their forehead between the pointed crests on the sides of their heads. The underside of Ninjask’s head is gray and segmented, perhaps designed to look like a veil, and most of its carapace is black. Gray-colored, insectoid arms extend from Ninjask’s chest, usually with their small, yellow claws turned inward. There is a similar back pair of legs, however these are usually held close to the body in flight and thus inconspicuous. On their back is a notable patch of black coloration with a stretch of yellow, shaped like an upside-down letter Y, voided into it. Most of Ninjask’s abdomen is black, but near the tip there is a band of yellow. Ninjask has large, veined wings with triangular red tipping.


====Gender differences====
Ninjask is a very fast Pokémon that is said to be able to evade any attack and was long believed to be invisible due to its high speed. If it is not trained properly, it will refuse to obey its Trainer and cry loudly. Due to this, it is said to put the Trainer's abilities to the test. Hearing its loud cries for too long induces a headache. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}, where it congregates around tree sap to feed.
None.


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
Ninjask is one of the fastest Pokémon to date. Because of its blinding speed, it was once thought to be invisible. Ninjask is so fast, it is said to be able to avoid any attack. Hearing Ninjask’s distinctive cries for too long induces a headache.
Ninjask evolves from {{p|Nincada}}. When Nincada evolves into Ninjask, it can also evolve into {{p|Shedinja}} simultaneously, which appears in an empty {{i|Poké Ball}}.


===Behavior===
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">

===Evolution data===
Ninjask [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nincada}} starting at [[level]] 20. This evolution can trigger the creation of a second Pokémon, {{p|Shedinja}}, if the player has an empty slot in their [[party]] and an extra {{i|Poké Ball}} on hand. Note that the Poké Ball has to be a regular Poké Ball. In [[Generation III]], an extra Poké Ball is not necessary to obtain Shedinja.


===Evolution===
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, Shedinja will not be mentioned when evolving Nincada, but will subsequently appear in {{p|Chimecho}}'s Assembly.

It may have been based on a fully adult {{wp|cicada}}. It also slightly resembles a bee and has traits in common with {{wp|ninjas}}.
Ninjask appears to be based on an adult {{wp|cicada}}, with its colors resembling a {{wp|Neotibicen dorsatus|bush cicada}}. As its species name implies, it may also be based on a {{wp|ninja}} due to its name, quick movement, and natural ability to learn {{m|Double Team}} by leveling up (a common ninja technique in Japanese media) and various cutting attacks. This combination may be further inspired by stories of ninjas using cicadas to mask their own sounds, or a reference to the ''utsusemi no jutsu'' (cicada skin technique), a technique using decoys to misdirect opponents.
