Shedinja

In the main series games, Shedinja has the ability Wonder Guard, causing it to take damage only from Super Effective Attacks, namely Flying, Rock, Ghost, Fire, and Dark attacks. If implemented, it will certainly throw off our TDO calculators. If not this is the single weakest thing in all of Pokemon go, which is actually really impressive if you think about it.

Honestly, what we need is a Shadow Shedinja. The defense loss really doesn't matter, and surely it would appreciate the damage boost... for the single Fast Move that it can get off before becoming double-dead.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Without its ability, Shedinja won't deliver more than a few fast attacks. Still, here's how its moves stack up.

• Shadow Claw + Aerial Ace is the highest in neutral DPS. If you're a Pokemon that can only use a Fast Move or two, at least it's Shadow Claw.
• Shadow Claw + Shadow Sneak is a pair SE against both Psychic and Ghost type Pokemon.
• Bug Bite + Aerial Ace are both SE against Grass. This set is likely also optimal for gym clearing, as Normal type defenders will resist Shadow Claw.
• All of Shedinja’s charged moves are pretty bad. Dig has the least utility among them.
• Legacy moves Bite and Struggle Bug are both worse than their non-legacy alternatives.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Bug Bite is Shedinja's ideal fast move for defense
• Shadow Claw is Shedinja's ideal fast move for defense
• Struggle Bug is Shedinja's ideal fast move for defense
• Aerial Ace is Shedinja's ideal charge move for defense
• Shadow Sneak is Shedinja's ideal charge move for defense
• Not using Shedinja on defense is the ideal moveset for Shedinja on defense

Shedinja cannot be used in PvP.
