That's how it works in the original games, I already saw that shinyy shedinja was also changed - I don't mind. I only really care about the ability nerf tbh.

Since gen 3 came out the first thing I would do is farm a shiny nincada and evolve it so I could run with a ninjask + shedinja shiny throughout the story (it was also the first shiny I had ever gotten, so nostalgic). I just love the ability of it and I've used it in any release that's had it; it's been my favorite since. It's too bad that it was being abused for whatever mechanic made it useful because I genuinely just like the pokemon and I've always used it when I could. I chose Hoenn so I could run it on my team, but unfortunately it doesn't seem viable for even the most basic battles.

So what I'm seeing is 'doesn't apply to me sucks for you' basically. I'm just wondering why make something unviable when tweaking didn't seem necessary to begin?

Just joined, I know there are vets out there that'll argue otherwise, but I'm not understanding the nerfs behind Shedinja. I went out, grabbed my nincada and shortly after realized my shedinja is virtually useless - 2 hits and now its a guaranteed OHK? Nice. My favorite pokemon in the series was nerfed to useless tier and the only knowledge I can dig up is because people farmed money with it for the elite four battles? What. Regretting getting this far into the game already.
