Shed Pokémon
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.

In-Depth Analysis
Shedinja's 236 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (90) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 1 means careful positioning matters.
Its Bug, Ghost typing leaves Shedinja with 5 weaknesses against 4 resistances and 2 full immunities. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 4 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Shedinja a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow Then Very Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
