Pokémon: 10 Pokédex Entries That Were Absolute Lies
10. Shedinja
The Pokedex Entry:
‘’Shedinja's hard body doesn't move - not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell. It is believed that this Pokémon will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back.’’ - Pokemon Ruby
In reality:
Sorry, what? Shedinja will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back? Terrifying implications aside, I guess we’ll just have to avoid looking into this things back right, to be on the safe side?
Oops, I forgot, you literally cannot avoid looking at this things back if you send it out in battle. It’s right there, on the sprite. The endless void that you have no hope of escaping. Feel your soul slipping away!
Professor Oak… I don’t feel so good…
Or maybe it’s nonsense. Possibly that too.
