#292
Shedinja
ヌケニン (Nukenin)

Species: Shed Pokémon
Abilities: Wonder Guard
Height: 2'07" (.8 m)
Weight: 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg)
Dex color: Brown
Pokédex Entries:

• Gen III


• Ruby: Shedinja's hard body doesn't move - not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell. It is believed that this Pokémon will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back.
• Sapphire: Shedinja is a peculiar Pokémon. It seems to appear unsought in a Poké Ball after a Nincada evolves. This bizarre Pokémon is entirely immobile - it doesn't even breathe.
• Emerald: A peculiar Pokémon that floats in air even though its wings remain completely still. The inside of its body is hollow and utterly dark.
• FireRed/LeafGreen: A most peculiar Pokémon that somehow appears in a Poké Ball when a Nincada evolves.
• Gen IV


• Diamond:/Pearl/Platinum: A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one's spirit.
• HeartGold/SoulSilver: A strange Pokémon--it flies without moving its wings, has a hollow shell for a body, and does not breathe.

 

This is why I wouldn't want to live in the Pokéverse, incidentally.  D:  Look at the stats on this mofo.  Specifically, the height.

DDDDD:

But, yes.  I don't like Bugs.  Or shorts.  I do not find them comfortable and easy to wear.

So, why Shedinja?

Well, let's take a look at its ability, Wonderguard.

Sayeth Bulbapedia:Wonder Guard only allows super effective moves to hit.
In order to even strike a Shedinja, you need a Dark, Fire, Flying, Ghost, or Rock attack.  This makes it a pretty damn good harrier, or even a sacrificial lamb should you need to use a Potion.
