Shedinja Ability Explained

Only Damaged by Super-Effective Moves

Wonder Guard is an Ability exclusive to Shedinja. It lets the Shed Pokemon only be damaged by super-effective moves, while other moves will have no effect on it.

This unique Ability is connected to Shedinja's miniscule 1 HP, wherein any super-effective move will knock it out.
