Ninjask (Japanese: テッカニン Tekkanin; German: Ninjask; French: Ninjask) is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Ninjask moves around at such a high speed that it cannot be seen, even while its crying can be clearly heard. For that reason, this Pokémon was long believed to be invisible.

Pokémon Emerald

Because it darts about vigorously at high speed, it is very difficult to see. Hearing its distinctive cries for too long induces a headache.

Name origin

Ninjask's name may be a combination of ninja and mask. Its Japanese name may be a combination of てかてか tekateka, gleaming, and ninja.

It may have been based on a fully adult cicada.
