* | * From [[Generation IV]] onwards, a basic [[Poké Ball]] (a requirement for evolution) is removed from the [[bag]] upon evolution to produce a Shedinja. In [[Generation III]], Shedinja instead copied the ball Nincada was in; this is the only legitimate way to get a Shedinja in a non-standard Poké Ball. | ||

* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon | * Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon (other than [[baby Pokémon]]) to have a different [[egg group]] than its evolutionary relatives, being in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg|Bug}} group. It cannot breed normally with Mineral group Pokémon either way, however, as it has no gender. The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}, which are in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} group. | ||
* | * Shedinja inherits the same [[personality value]], IVs, EVs, OT and ID numbers as the Nincada that shed it. Among other things, if the Nincada was [[shiny]], Shedinja will be shiny as well. | ||
* | * The player is not given an opportunity to nickname Shedinja when it evolves from Nincada, but (assuming the Nincada was theirs as well) may consult a [[Name Rater]] to give it a nickname later. | ||
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon | * Shedinja's ability renders it immune to 12 of 17 attack types, the most of any Pokémon. This also gives it a number of further distinctions: | ||
* 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 only the ones learned at the same level. In Generation V, Shedinja starts with the moves Nincada knew prior to evolution. | ** Shedinja is the only Pokémon immune to {{m|Sheer Cold}} and {{m|Dragon Rage}}, which otherwise have the same effect against all types. | ||
* Shedinja is the only genderless Pokémon that can learn egg moves. However, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}} could also learn moves via breeding in Gold and Silver. | ** Even if {{m|Foresight}} is used, Shedinja is still immune to {{t|Normal}} and {{type2|Fighting}} attacks. | ||
** If {{m|Soak}} is used to make Shedinja a {{type2|Water}}, it will have immunities to 15 of 17 attack types. | |||

* Shedinja is the only genderless Pokémon that can learn egg moves (as a Nincada). However, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}} could also learn moves via breeding in Gold and Silver. | |||

* Even though looking into the crack on Shedinja's back is said to steal one's spirit, all of Shedinja's back sprites display it perfectly, yet no negative effects happen to the {{player}} in-game. | * Even though looking into the crack on Shedinja's back is said to steal one's spirit, all of Shedinja's back sprites display it perfectly, yet no negative effects happen to the {{player}} in-game. | ||

* Shedinja will immediately faint if it receives any form of indirect damage, such as from {{status|Poison}}, [[weather conditions]] or [[entry hazard]]s. This is demonstrated in ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'' with [[Battle CDs 11-20|Battle CD 11]], which requires the user to defeat six Shedinja in only one turn of combat by using a combination of {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}. | * Shedinja will immediately faint if it receives any form of indirect damage, such as from {{status|Poison}}, [[weather conditions]] or [[entry hazard]]s.
