How do I get my Nincada to evolve?

Hello there, fellow trainers! Professor Willow told me you might need some help with your Pokémon. Don't worry, you've come to the right place. My name is Professor Oak, and I've dedicated my life to studying these fascinating creatures. I hear you're having some trouble evolving your Nincada. That's a tricky one, but don't you worry, I'm here to guide you. Let's dive into the world of Nincada evolution!

**Understanding Nincada's Unique Evolution**

First, you need to understand that Nincada's evolution is special. Unlike most Pokémon that evolve by simply leveling up or using specific evolutionary stones, Nincada has a branching evolution path with special conditions. This means it can evolve into one of two different Pokémon, and there's even a chance you might get a bonus! Exciting, isn't it?

Evolving Nincada into Ninjask

The first, and perhaps more straightforward path, is evolving your Nincada into **<font color='red'>Ninjask</font>**. This swift and agile Pokémon is a force to be reckoned with in battles. Here's what you need to do:


1. Level Up: Like most evolutions, you'll need to level up your Nincada. Aim to get your Nincada to at least **<font color='red'>level 20</font>**. Remember, training and battling are key to gaining experience and leveling up your Pokémon.


2. Check Your Poké Balls: That's it! Once your Nincada reaches level 20, it will automatically evolve into Ninjask. Easy peasy!

The Secret to Obtaining Shedinja

Now, for the exciting part! Evolving Nincada into Ninjask is only half the story. You also have a chance to obtain a **<font color='red'>Shedinja</font>**, a truly unique and elusive Pokémon. Here's the catch, though. Evolving into Shedinja isn't as simple as leveling up; it requires a specific set of conditions to be met during Nincada's evolution:


1. An Open Slot: Firstly, and most importantly, you need an **<font color='red'>empty slot</font>** in your party. Make sure you have less than 6 Pokémon in your active party when you are about to evolve your Nincada.


2. A Spare Poké Ball: Secondly, you'll need an **<font color='red'>extra Poké Ball</font>** in your bag. Shedinja won't just appear out of thin air! It needs a Poké Ball to reside in.

If both these conditions are met when your Nincada evolves into Ninjask, voila! You'll find a Shedinja has mysteriously appeared in your party.

A Word of Caution

Remember, trainers, there are many rumors and misconceptions surrounding Nincada's evolution. Don't be fooled by those who claim you need specific items or perform obscure rituals. The process is straightforward, as I've outlined above. Just focus on training your Nincada, and you'll be well on your way to having both Ninjask and Shedinja in your team!

Good luck, trainers, and may your journey be filled with exciting evolutions and new discoveries!

Evolution. Nincada can evolve into Ninjask, and Shedinja. A Nincada evolves into a Ninjask once level 20 is reached. If the player has an extra Pok�� Ball and empty party slot, Shedinja will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves.
