Shedinja
Shed Pokémon
SHEDINJA’s hard body doesn’t move - not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell. It is believed that this POKéMON will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back.

Strategy Overview
Shedinja is good only in the Uber environment. In the standard metagame 100% counters such as Tyranitar's Sand Stream and Spikes are used. In the Uber metagame, many things such as Kyogre and Latios lack the moves to hurt Shedinja, allowing it to deal lots of damage. However, with the fairly recent commonness of Spikes and Toxic on everything, even then Shedinja is risky. If you don't carry Rapid Spin and the ability to change the weather (either Rain Dance or Sunny Day... or Drizzle and Drought), don't use Shedinja. Shedinja is generally too risky to be your only counter to something, because of how easily things can stop it.
