Basics
Shedinja is a Bug/Ghost-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 224 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 281 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 445 at level 50. It is weak to Fire/Flying/Rock/Ghost/Dark attacks (1.6×). It resists Grass/Poison/Ground/Bug/Normal/Fighting attacks. In raids, Bug Bite + Aerial Ace is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 5 km you walk together.

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.
