Shedinja

Shedinja (), known in Japan as , is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise, and an evolved form of the Pokémon Nincada. First introduced in the 2002 video games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is a Bug and Ghost-type Pokémon that comes into existence upon Nincada evolving into another Pokémon Ninjask when its owner does not have a full team. It has exactly 1 HP and an ability called Wonder Guard, ensuring that only "super effective" types hurt it, but any damage it takes knocks it out.

Shedinja was absent from the games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, speculated to be due to a gimmick in the game potentially making it too powerful. It also appears in other games in the series, such as Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Its evolution method and its design, inspired by the husk of a cicada, are considered a highlight of Shedinja's, identified as a particularly strange Pokémon by multiple critics. Its ability, Wonder Guard, was also commented on, with two entomologists stating that Shedinja demonstrated the theme of rebirth with respect to cicadas found in other cultures.
