Why Does Shedinja Appear When Nincada Evolved in Pokemon Emerald?
Shedinja appears when Nincada evolves only if specific conditions are met. Otherwise, you will only get Ninjask.
Why It Seems Unexpected
When Nincada evolves, the game only shows it becoming Ninjask.
There is no indication that another Pokémon can appear.
After the evolution, you may suddenly see an extra Pokémon with 1 HP in your party that was never shown during the evolution.
What Actually Happens
- Nincada evolves into Ninjask at level 20
- If you have an empty party slot
- And at least one Poké Ball
A Shedinja is created and added to your party.
Important
If your party is full or you have no Poké Balls, Shedinja will not appear.
