* Shedinja's {{a|Wonder Guard}} Ability renders it immune to 13 of 18 attack types, the most of any Pokémon; four of these immunities (to {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Fairy}}) are entirely unique to Shedinja.

* Prior to [[Generation V]], if Nincada learns a move upon evolving into {{p|Ninjask}}, Shedinja will also know this move.

From Generation V onward, Shedinja starts with the moves Nincada knew prior to evolution. | * Prior to [[Generation V]], if Nincada learns a move upon evolving into {{p|Ninjask}}, Shedinja will also know this move.
