So, for those who don't know This is gonna be long... Shedinja and its iconic ability Wonder Guard have been protagonists of many shenanigans, but a new layer of them has been added thanks to Terastalization. By terastalizing into an Electric type, Shedinja only becomes weak to Ground type attacks, but thanks to its item Air Balloon it becomes immune to those as well, making Shedinja immune to almost all attacking moves (with some exceptions), so here's a list of solutions: all kinds of passive damage (damage dealt by weather, hazards, status, items, abilities and field conditions) work on Shedinja, so hit it with status moves like Will-O-Wisp and Toxic or set up Stealth Rock or Sandstorm and you're off to a good start; Pokémon with the Mold Breaker, Teravolt and Turboblaze abilities can still hit Shedinja with any move, as Mold Breaker and its clones make your moves bypass Shedinja's ability; Trick or Switcheroo a different item onto Shedinja will make it no longer airborne, meaning it's now weak to Spikes, Toxic Spikes and all Ground type moves or give it a Sticky Barb and watch it die on the spot; as I said before, some moves ignore abilities and immunities, so they can still hit Shedinja, Sunsteel Strike, Moongeist Beam, Thousand Arrows and Struggle are examples Edit: should I add the fact that I know these videos are staged on all my comments? Apparently it's not clear that I do Edit number 2: if you want to add stuff to my comment so I can improve it, at least read it first. Thank you Until we meet again for more explanations
@@olexapog8479 true, unless the opponent had something like Infiltrator Will-O-Wisp or a Mold Breaker sound-based move. Mold Breaker as a whole kinda wrecks this
The first time I encountered Wonder Guard was against one of the elite 4 in a old pokemon game, the only reason I won was because I made it use struggle? So basically I just tanked all the attacks with a tanky pokemon and lots of potions and revives I bought with the money I gathered from just grinding.
Fun fact. I learned this recently while fighting an electric Tera balloon Shedinja. Status moves like toxic and will-o-wisp are an instant kill and easy work around for wonder guard. Someone pulled this on me and I was just like “I wonder what will happen if I use toxic”. The invincible lad died in seconds.
Not only this, but damaging ability like rough skin and items that damage attacking opponents will also do well against a physical attacking shedninja too, it is quite weak still
Everyone I dueled neglected to read Necrovalley when activating effects that involve the gy. Some dude just kept activating stuff like Monster Reborn, Water of Life, Powerful Rebirth and call of the haunted in 1 duel.

this is a certified "thing that can only be hit by its weakness + gimmick that allows it to change its weakness + item removing one weakness = immunity to direct damage" moment

Wonder Guard = Shedinja can't be hurt by non-supereffective damage. Electric Tera Type = Shedinja's only weak to Ground when terastalized. Air Balloon = Shedinja is immune to Ground type moves until it gets hit by a move. Add that all together and you get a Pokemon that can only be killed by status moves, and this Legendary spamming n00b didn't have any. There is no hax, kid just didn't know. *Edit* Changed it to status moves, instead of just sandstorm and hail to be more accurate. Still, Jesus Christ, imagine not having a single status move on your team.
