Talk:Ninjask (Pokémon)

Evobox

Despite the fact that I believe that we should put branched evos on every page of the family (including the corrosponding one), I was under the impression that here on Bulbapedia we don't put them there. However, when I tried to remove the mention of Shedinja on this page (since it really kind of is just a branched evo), it was reverted with the reason that "TTE wants it this way". Way is that anyways?- unsigned comment from MisterE13 (talk • contribs)

I'd argue for inclusion, seeing as Shedinja is created when Nicada evolves to Ninjask. — THE TROM — 05:12, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

But Nincada becomes Ninjask and then Nincada's (not Ninjask's) shell becomes the Shedinja. Alhtough, I think I did read that if Nincada's moveset is changed during the evolution, Shedinja's will be too.--MisterE13 05:18, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

No, once the evolution is started/complete, the moves are set (Ninjask learns a few flying moves when it evolves, I believe, none of which can be learned by Shedinja).

The main reason to list Shedinja on this page is for consistency, I would say. It's still a part of the evolution chain, even if it's not directly involved with Ninjask itself. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 08:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

But the issue here is that we don't list other branches of the chain for any other family - see Slowking or Gallade. --FabuVinny ^{|Talk Page|} 08:32, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Shedinja's here because Shedinja cannot exist without a Ninjask. Essentially it evolves OFF of Ninjask. It's complicated... I dunno. If a Ninjask gets a move upon evolution, and learns it, the Shedinja won't have it though? That's truly a case for having just Nincada → Ninjask... TTEchidna 08:41, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

What about keeping it in Shedinja's but not Ninjask's?--MisterE13 21:36, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
