Ninjask (Japanese: テッカニン Tekkanin) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Nincada starting at level 20. Its evolution can trigger the creation of a second Pokémon: Shedinja.

Biology

Ninjask is a small, cicada-like Pokémon with two pairs of wings. Its body is mostly yellow with accents of black and gray. There is a solid band of black between its gleaming red eyes. The band pools into a circular pattern on its forehead, between the pointed crests on the sides of its head. The underside of its head is gray and segmented, to look like a veil, and most of its carapace is black. Its gray insectoid arms extend from its chest, usually with their small, yellow claws turned inward. There is a similar pair of back legs. On its back is a patch of black with a stretch of yellow, shaped like an upside down letter Y. Most of its abdomen is black, but near the tip, there is a band of yellow. It has large, veined wings with triangular, red tipping.

Ninjask is a very fast Pokémon that is said to be able to evade any attack, and is hard seen due to its high speed. It was long believed to be invisible. Hearing its loud cries for too long induces a headache. If it is not trained properly, it will refuse to obey its Trainer and cry loudly. Due to this, it is said to put the Trainer's abilities to the test. It lives in forests. It congregates around tree sap and likes to feed on it.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

When the Aqua Admin Amber left all his Pokémon behind deep underseas, he borrowed a Nincada from his teammate Shelly, which evolved right away into a Ninjask, causing much trouble for his opponent, Wattson. Even after it was defeated, the resultant Pokémon of its evolution, Shedinja, was able to land a surprise attack that sent him plummeting toward the bottom of the ocean.
