Ninjask and Shedinja

Well today it looks like its a 2 for 1, because the random number generator brought up Nincada's number. Since I can't decide which one to do, I'll just do both. So first we have Ninjask, a pokemon when its prime was on just about everybody's team, and for good reason. Before the days of stealth rocking being on just about every team, Ninjask was rampant. With the ability speed boost, combo that with swords dance and baton pass, its a dream for anybody looking for a quick set up. Ninjask really was only used for this, nothing more, but since stealth rock became so common, Ninjask has lost its luster.

Baton Pass

Ev's : 252 Speed/252 Attack/4 Hp

Conclusion :

Ninjask is pretty much a one trick pony, if you really wish to use one I suggest proper support. You will definitely need a rapid spinner, and I suggest running a pokemon that will either ingrain to stop phazing with whirlwind/roar, but that won't make much difference if they have haze or clear smog.




Shedinja


Shedinja, a ghost/bug pokemon, one of a kind in more ways than one. With only 1 Hp, you would think Shedinja would be an easy pokemon to take down (with the exception of stealth rock or weather effects) but  with the wonderful ability Wonder Gaurd, Shedinja can be quite the pest. What does Wonder Gaurd do? Well it allows Shedinja to not take damage from all moves that are not super effective (but still takes indirect damage from those types.)

Move Sets :



Standard

Item : Focus Sash


Swords Dance
Shadow Sneak/Sucker Punch
X-scissor
Protect/Will-o-wisp/Sucker Punch/Toxic

Ev's : 252 Attack/252 Speed/4 Def
Nature: Adamant


Conclusion :

Shedinja can be a great pokemon to use, and thanks to the addition of pokemon who can start new weathers, you can actually use Shedinja in all tiers. It is risky to use Shedinja, due to stealth rock being common, and the 1 HP will always be a problem. But when you finally get a good set up with Shedinja it does feel great to use.
