Shedinja

Shedinja is a discarded bug shell.  Peering into the crack on its back supposedly could steal one's spirit.  It manages to stay in the air, but doesn't flap its wings at all.  Shedinja doesn't breathe.
This is a really weird Pokemon.  You only have 1 HP.  No HP ups or anything can change the fact that you only have 1 HP.  You have low Defense, Sp. Attack, Sp. Defense, and Speed stats.  Shedinja's highest base stat is its Attack.  It only has a base number of 90.  Low stats and 1 HP adds up to a pretty messed-up Pokemon.

Shedinja should stay Physically based because it has a low Sp. Attack stat.  Some good Physical STAB moves could include X-Scissor, Shadow Claw, or Bug Bite.  You can use Heal Block, which is a good move.  If you use it, the target can't have HP or status conditions restored or cured.  Its a useful move, because ever since they've introduced the launcher for WiFi battles, battling has become so different.  Your opponent also can't use moves like Recover or Wish.  Other good Physical moves Shedinja has would be things like Night Slash, Dig, and I guess Aerial Ace.  But in conclusion, Shedinja has a limited movepool.

Your ability is Wonder Guard.  Only Super-Effective moves can hit you.  This may seem like a good ability, but you have 5 Super-Effective weaknesses.  The maximum amount of Super-Effective weaknesses a Pokemon could have is 7 total.  5/7 weaknesses- Wonder Guard isn't exactly the most helpful ability, but I guess it's better than nothing.

So Shedinja has low stats, a pretty limited movepool, and only one HP.  Not the best Pokemon out there, but he's cool looking.
