Nincada is a dual-type Bug/Ground Pokémon that evolves into Ninjask at level 20.

When Nincada evolves into a Ninjask, a Shedinja will also appear in the player's party if there is an empty slot and the player's inventory contains a regular Poké Ball. The Poké Ball will be consumed when the Shedinja appears. This Shedinja will keep most of the attributes of the source Nincada, including level, moves, EVs, IVs, and Nature.

Nincada lives underground for many years in complete darkness. This Pokémon absorbs nutrients from the roots of trees. It stays motionless as it waits for evolution.
