I am so anoyed because i had hundreds of Poké Balls but when my nincada evolved there was only a ninjask and no shedinja and one space for a shedinja with none there to fill its position.
When I tried again there was a shedinja. I am sure what happened but can anyone guess what happened before i tell you? [[User:Laxafett|Laxafett]] 16:18, 21 September 2008

I have little to no idea what you're saying. Proper grammar, please. However, I understand the original point of the topic...I really don't know why that happened. The game almost never (if at all) screws up like that. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 17:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Does a shiny Nincada yield a shiny Ninjask and also a shiny Shedinja? Or is Shedinja's alternate coloration determined by another value? &mdash; <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] &mdash; 10:38, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== Evolution ==
 
Perhaps it needs to be mentioned that the secret evolution only works if a spare Poké ball is an actual red-and-white Poké ball - it does not work with any other types of balls. [[User:Lady BlahDeBlah|Lady BlahDeBlah]] 11:20, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
:Well, you already did it on Shedinja's page...why bother asking? Also, don't say "You need a red-and-white Poké Ball" Say Basic Poké Ball. Are you sure this is an accurate statement? -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 12:24, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah...that was silly of me...I think it's accurate, as I went back on a single save several times and it would only work with a basic ball in the inventory. That said I only have access to one copy of a single version, so inputs are welcome! [[User:Lady BlahDeBlah|Lady BlahDeBlah]] 22:14, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 
== Shiny ==
 
Worth mentioning that if you evolve a Shiny Nincada, you get both a Shiny Ninjask and a Shiny Shedinja (tested it, although it took me long enough to catch one...), so effectively two shinies for the price of one- provided you can get the Nincada in the first place. [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 11:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Whoever put the trivia about Bug buzz and Nincada having no wings you are clearly wrong. It's clear as the eye can see that it has wings.

Well, I just evolved my Nincada in Emerald, with a rare candy bringing it from 19 to 20. I sold every ball I had before hand, because I did NOT want Shedinja (I thought you could only get one).

Why is Nincada excluded from the "List of pokemon with branched evolutions?" - unsigned comment from Arrchec (talkcontribs)

Because branched means that the Pokémon can evolve into either evolution whereas Nincada evolves into both at the same time. For example: Slowpoke can evolve into Slowbro, OR Slowking, but not both. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 08:39, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Just a funny thought...

This just popped into my head when I was checking Nincada's hidden ability after eyeing up its impressive defence stat for a baby-standard Pokemon. Run Away. Nincada's not fast and is the "trainee" Pokemon, so this might be a reference to the phrase "he who learns to run away lives to fight another day".
