Trivia
- Ninjask has the second highest Speed of any Pokémon in the games. It is surpassed only by the Speed Forme of Deoxys. However, Ninjask's Speed Boost ability allows it to potentially become faster than Deoxys in battle.
- Ninjask cannot learn any Flying-type moves via level-up despite it being Flying-type.
- Even though Ninjask is depicted as being a blindly fast Pokémon, it cannot learn the move ExtremeSpeed. In fact, it can't learn any increased priority moves that do damage.
Origin
It may have been based on a fully adult cicada.
Name origin
Ninjask's name may be a combination of ninja and mask. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 鉄火 tekka, gunfire, and ninja.
