Well well, looks like it's that time again. Looks like you can't send trainers to do a MANS work.
Shedinja, the shed pokemon.
Good day, PwF. Evil Omnicidal Villian here with this weeks PotW. Today we are looking into one of my staple pokemon. Shedinja is a LOVELY Pokemon to use no matter WHAT tier you decide to live in. With Magikarp-esq stats and an epic 1 health, most people tend to forget this one hit wonder for more durable pokemon. But what Shedinja lacks in stats, he MORE than makes up for it in his ability.
WONDERGUARD.
Your DAMN skippy he has that. Shedinja is the ONLY pokemon in the game with that ability. For those of you who don't know what the move IS, [or if you are retarded.....]. Wonderguard can only be damaged by super effective attacks and secondary damage. Secondary damage includes: hail, sandstorm, burn, poison, and Leech Seed. Furthermore, the attacks Beat Up, Bide, Doom Desire, Fire Fang, Future Sight, and Struggle will hit a Pokémon with Wonder Guard even though they may not specifically be super effective. If a Wonder Guard Pokemon uses a recoil move, it will still take normal recoil damage. Fixed damage attacks will only damage a Pokémon with Wonder Guard if it would be super effective otherwise. That is, Night Shade counts as a Ghost attack, Seismic Toss counts as a Fighting attack, and Dragon Rage counts as a Dragon attack.
Wonder Guard cannot be Skill Swapped or Role Played, but it can be Traced. Also, Wonderguard can be copied by an opposing Pokémon transforming into the Wonder Guard Pokémon. Wonderguard is a hacking staple, giving it to a Sableeye or a Spiritomb results in an immortal pokemon, Due to their lack of weaknesses.

Shedinja has a pretty sweet move pool.

Let's to the nitty gritty about some team-ups. Shedinja is a great scout Pokemon, slap a focus sash on it and watch the enemy's jaw drop as they don't kill it the first hit, allowing for a free toxic Prompting the enemy to swap out or face further torture. Slaking is Shedinja's secret lover, with Slaking can swap into a sashed Shedinja on its truant turn, either allowing for a clean getaway or a sashed survival.
With Shedinja's 90 attack stat, he COULD be a decent sweeper, if you have the proper support backing him up. Remember children, brains beats brawn, but underhanded tricks beat EVERYTHING. Have fun with the rest of your short, pathetic lives! This is Verin Verdelet, signing out.
