Strategy Overview

Despite only having 1 HP, Shedinja is able to establish a niche for itself on stall teams by completely walling common threats such as Kyogre, Zygarde-C, and Xerneas due to Wonder Guard. It also provides some utility by spreading status. Unfortunately, Shedinja instantly falls to super effective attacks from many top-tier threats such as Yveltal, Eternatus, Calyrex-S, and Marshadow. In addition, it may lose to foes that it would otherwise check due to their secondary options, such as Zygarde-C using Toxic and Calyrex-I using Leech Seed.
