Shedinja

Shedinja in the anime: Colonel Hansen's battler and Goh's catch

Shedinja debuted under the ownership of Colonel Hansen in The Princess and the Togepi as his main battler, later reappearing in A Togepi Mirage! where Misty's Gyarados defeated it with Flamethrower. In The Spectral Express!, a wild Ninjask left behind a Shedinja that entered one of Goh's empty Poke Balls, becoming his.

Shedinja on cardboard: from Dragon to Mega Evolution

Shedinja's first card came in the EX era's Dragon set as a Holo Rare illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, followed by a Deoxys Rare from Yukiko Baba. The Diamond and Pearl era brought Rares from Kouki Saitou and Mitsuhiro Arita, and the design kept returning at Rare across the Black and White, XY, Sun and Moon, and Sword and Shield eras. The Mega Evolution era's 2025 set paired an Uncommon from IKEDA Saki with an Illustration rare from Tetsu Kayama.
