Shedinja (Japanese: ヌケニン Nukenin) is a Bug/Ghost-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby
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.
Pokémon Emerald
A peculiar Pokémon that floats in air even though its wings remain completely still. The inside of its body is hollow and utterly dark.

Name origin

Shedinja's name is a combination of shed, casting off of skin or exoskeleton, and ninja. Its Japanese name is a combination of 抜け殻 nukegara, casting off skin, and 忍者 ninja. Nukenin is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord.

It is based on the shed husk that cicadas leave behind when they finish their metamorphosis into adults.
