Shedinja is considered a special evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when Nincada [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ninjask}} starting at [[level]] 20, 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.
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.
