Does the Pokeball I have in my bag have to be a normal one?

Yes, it has to be an actual Pokeball. Not a Great or Ultra Pokeball, or any other special types.

Yes. Try getting one through gts if you're on the 6th or 7th generation.

Question

Does Nincada have to be in the first slot of my party or my second to last slot?

Community Answer

It does not matter what slot the Nincada is in, there just has to be an empty Pokemon slot and a pokeball in your bag, unless you have Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

Question

Will this work if they are in daycare?

Community Answer

Pokemon cannot evolve within the daycare. So once you extract your Nincada from the daycare, if it has leveled up above twenty, and you have filled the stated requirements, then you will get a Shedninja.

Question

Do you also get a Ninjask?

Bun bun

Top Answerer

Yes, you get both Ninjask and Shedinja from this method, as Shedinja is meant to be Nincada's skin before evolving.

Question

Do I need to beat the game?

Community Answer

No, you just need to catch a Nincada and evolve it. Nincada can be found in grass routes.

Question

Do I need to prevent Nincada’s evolution into Ninjask to get Shedinja?

Community Answer

No, you do not. You will still get the Shedinja if you don't prevent the evolution as long as the space and pokeball requirements are met. Preventing the evolution does allow you to competitively train your Shedinja, though, as the level and moves from Ninjask will be inherited.

Question

Is it okay to have more than one Pokeball?

Community Answer

Yes. Having more than one Pokeball will not prevent you from getting Shedinja. It just has to be a standard ball, not ultra, great, or any other types.

Question

Can I do this with only one pokeball, or do I need multiple balls?

Community Answer

It depends. You need a pokeball to catch the ninjask and a pokeball in your bag when ninjask evolves, to obtain shedinja.

Question

Is Nincada supposed to evolve once I cancel it before it evolves into Ninjask?

Community Answer

Nincada is still capable of evolving post level 20 if the evolution is canceled, if that’s what you mean. You can cancel the evolution as much as needed; once Nincada evolves however, you cannot get Shedninja from Ninjask if you weren’t able to fill all of the requirements. You will have to evolve a separate Nincada.

Question

Why didn't I get a shedninja when I have pokeballs and an empty slot?

Cesaro LDG Offical

Community Answer

Did you level up you Nincada to level 20? Also, make sure that your pokeball is not a great or an ultra ball!
