Alright, so I’ve been playing Pokemon GO for a while now, and like many of you, I’m always on the lookout for rare and interesting Pokemon. One that always caught my eye was Shedinja. It’s got that cool ghostly look, and I heard some interesting stuff about it from the main series games. So, I really wanted to get my hands on one and see what it was all about.
First off, let me tell you, getting a Shedinja in Pokemon GO isn’t as straightforward as catching most other Pokemon. It’s not like those common ones you find just by walking around. Shedinja is a third-generation Pokemon, and I learned that you don’t just stumble upon it in the wild.
I did some digging around and found out that Shedinja is a Bug and Ghost-type. I also discovered it’s weak against Dark, Fire, Flying, and Ghost-type attacks. I thought that was kind of cool – made it seem like a bit of a glass cannon, you know? Powerful but fragile. Plus I learned that in the main series games, it has a special ability called Wonder Guard that makes it only take damage from super effective attacks. I thought that was really neat, and started to wonder if it worked the same way in Pokemon GO.
So, I finally got my hands on a Shedinja. I was pretty pumped! I took it into battle, and well… things didn’t go as I’d hoped. It turns out, Pokemon GO doesn’t use abilities like Wonder Guard, and type immunities don’t work the same way either. So, my Shedinja was taking damage from all sorts of attacks, not just the super effective ones. It went down pretty fast, only able to get off a few quick attacks before fainting.
Honestly, it was a bit of a letdown. I had these big hopes for Shedinja, thinking it would be this unstoppable force because of what I knew from the main games. But in Pokemon GO, it just doesn’t hold up.
But you know what? Even though it’s not great in battle, I still think Shedinja is a cool Pokemon to have. It’s rare, it’s got a unique look, and it’s the only Bug-type that’s also a Ghost-type in the game. It’s like that rare item you collect, not because it’s super useful, but just because it’s special and adds something unique to your collection. It’s like finding that rare vintage record – it might not be the best quality, but it’s got character and a story behind it.
- Catching Shedinja: It was a bit of a hunt to get it, but that made it even more satisfying.
- Battling with Shedinja: Yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment, but it was still fun to try it out.
- Collecting Shedinja: Even though it’s not a battler, it’s a cool and rare Pokemon to have in my collection.
So, is Shedinja good in Pokemon GO? Not really, at least not for battling. But is it worth having? I’d say yes, especially if you’re a collector or just like having unique Pokemon. It’s a reminder that not every Pokemon is about winning battles – sometimes it’s just about the fun of collecting and the stories behind them.
