AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Call The Ghostbusters. I think we have a situation here. >:C

EVEN THE GHOSTBUSTERS CAN'T HELP YOU NOW

If they had flamethrowers, it'd be an entirely different story. 8D

Hyper Proton Beam X. >:C

Crap! >:C then Flick it! it only has 1 HP!

But flicking is normal type! It's not super effective. :C

D: ... then Run! >:C

Poke it with a blade of grass then o:

Grass isn't super effective against Bug or Ghost, either. 8C

Throw a tiny pebble at it! That'll work!

By the way this is a brilliant comic. Never thought of that angle.

Thank you. :V

Throwing pebbles will work, as you can kill Shedinja in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon with Gravelrocks and other thrown attack items. Then again though, in PKMN MD, Shedinja has more than 1 HP in that game series...

Hah, Ninjask's expression in the last panel is win.

Dotty eyes are always win. :>

duuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnn

dksajfowejfapowiejf YES.

a. I love Shedinja, b. Ninjask is pretty awesome too, and c. yeah, seriously, seeing your ghost come to life has to be really trippy.

Not so much a ghost (since you'd be it) as your PREVIOUS DEAD BODY. Which is way creepier than a ghost in my opinion. :C

Its too bad even with wonderguard, it has a lot of weaknesses

Speed boost is great though, first strike makes everything better

I know, at least a whole 5. :C And that's not all, it can still be hurt by Sandstorms and Hail and whatnot. Fffff--

And the only point of putting Speed Boost on Ninjask is so that it can pull its Baton Pass combo to other Pokemon, because it's already the fastest in the entire game next to Speed Deoxys. Making it faster personally would almost be pointless. :I

LOL I KNOW XD

Swords dance, baton pass, protect, and maybe some other good stat move

*passes it onto something uber like garchomp*

Other trainer - ...FFFFFUUUUU!!!

Double Team and Swords Dance also work wonders if you wanna switch to a wall, make them even harder to take down and allow them to hit harder than they normally could. c:

Double team could indeed work, but I was thinking maybe agility, so you can get first hit

THough Double team would make it harder to hit you, but kinda risky since you could still get hit

>implying you need agility when Ninjask Speed Boosts up every turn automatically

oh u

OMG F YOU FOR REMINDING ME THAT.

HEEHEEHEEHEE

The idea behind shedinja is awesome, but too bad even with wonderguard it sucks balls, lol.

Yeah, it does come as a nice surprise to anything that's not packing the moves it's weak against, though. :v

truely is a weird evoltution...

this is just hilarious.

Thank you. :V

Ninjask and Shedinja: you were schizophrenic and didn't even know it until you evolved. :D

Man, I tried to Skill Swap Shedinja and Sableye back in the day to get some real use out of Wonder Guard.

Yeah, everyone tries to do that, except with Spiritomb since it's an all-around better Pokemon than Sableye for the most part. :V For some reason, Fire Fang can still break through Wonder Guard on both of them, though.

Well, there wasn't Spiritomb back in third gen, and I didn't exactly think to try again since it didn't work the first time. P:
And as far as I've heard (which is not a lot on this matter), you still can't get it done via Skill Swap anyway.

A lot of people prefer to just hack it onto Spiritomb rather than do it legitimately with Skill Swap. :V That only really works on double battles.

I really love Ninjask's reaction here.

._____.'

Pokemon has always had a few rather creepy mons

take for example 2 of the new ghosts, Hitomoshi and Pururiru:

# Pururiru (592): It sinks to the bottom of the sea with its enemies’ bodies still bound in its thin, veil-like arms.
# Burunkeru (593): If a lost ship sinks in Buringeru’s habitat, the crew members' life force gets completely absorbed.

# Hitomoshi (607): Hitomoshi’s light burns brighter when it’s sucked up a human or Pokemon’s life energy.
# Lamplar (608): It’s feared as an ominous Pokemon. It drifts unsteadily through town, searching for the souls of the deceased.
# Chandelar (609): It blazes when it absorbs a soul. It swings the flames on its arms to put opponents into a hypnotic trance.

Oh god inorite. I mean, some of the old ones were nightmarish, especially the Gastly family in the early dex entries. D:

I want them so much ouo

Same here. 8D I call dibs on the chandelier mon.

no way, Fire is my favorite element, plus, I'm naming her Passion =w=

The sarcophagus is okay too. |D

and the gigantic golem ghost is pretty kewl

Frankly, Pokemon needs more Ghost types. I am glad they're going through with this. C:

ghosts are kewl, and so is fire

there needs to be a fire version of stealth rock lol

lava pit or something, so we can balance things out

Hell, Drifloon basically existed to drag children away and steal their souls, but wasn't heavy enough to do it.

yeah

awesome creepy Pokemon

I wonder if they'll ever make a Ghost/Steel type. THAT would be pure fun if paired with Levitate.

Oh hell yeah. Just like Bronzong, its only weakness would be Fire. |D Of course, I also think the best design for a Ghost/Steel type is a haunted suit of knight's armor, so I dunno how that'd work. :C

The Ground/Ghost Goruugu already is based off of a knight's armor.

If it were my decision, the pre-evolved form has to be a short dagger-like body.

Its evolved form could be like a sword. Small arms acting as its hilt.

As for names, I don't know what to name it.

My own personal fakemon for steel/ghost is a haunted mirror. It hangs around on walls and then scares people when they look into it.

Wish granted, you've got yourself a Ghost/Steel-type Pokemon: Honedge.

Holy shit, I predicted Aegislash...

Wonder Guard explicitly states that only super-effective ATTACKS can reach through it :/ Focus Sash Shedinja would actually work, then.

No, pretty sure sandstorm and hail still hurt it too.

Yeah, that was the point. The wording says only SUPER-EFFECTIVE ATTACKS can hit it, yet Toxic and Weather still OHKO :/ Makes Shedinja harder to use in competitive battles, thus its NU... Wait, I haven't commented on this picture! Can I use a panel for my avatar? Of course I'll give credit. It's hilarious, and I never thought of it like that. Shedinja the zombie ninja XD

Pretty sure it would've been NU anyway since all of its weaknesses are pretty common attack types. If you don't have a Fire, Dark, Ghost, Rock OR a Flying move anywhere on your team, you deserve to get screwed anyway.

Sure, go ahead. :>

Ehh, I'm really new to competitive pokemon, but that's why you Baton Pass a Substitute and have Focus Sash, as well as protect? True, though... And thanks!

You're thinking of Ninjask there. Yeah, he's still a viable competitor, just not Shedinja so much.

I meant, baton pass a sub TO shedinja with Vaporeon or Drifblim, and he gets 140+ extra HP. Focus Sash lets him survive one more super-effective.Protect scouts, if you intend to use him late-game..?

Ahh, I see. o: That could be useful I suppose, but Shedinja also has pretty weak defenses, so that sub probably wouldn't last more than one attack.

I hated seeing that gaping hole in it's back all the time when I used it.

"sup bro..."
ROFL!

Shedinja is one of the coolest Pokes o3o

I'd be like that as well,if all my dead skin came to life.

That moment your fighting a Shedinja with nothing that works on wonder guard....

I just realise what is from the shedinja, this is the old body. xD

man nincada evolution is sure weird for shedinja.
