Nincada (Japanese: ツチニン Tsuchinin) is a Bug/Ground-Type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
Contents
Biology
Physiology
Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Its eyes are black with green iris-like rings inside. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. The claws are used to carve the roots of tree and absorb moisture and nutrients. Nincada builds underground nests at the roots of trees. It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it.
Natural abilities
Its special ability is Compoundeyes. This Pokémon grows underground, sensing its surroundings using antennae instead of its virtually blind eyes.
Evolution
Nincada can evolve into Ninjask, and Shedinja. A Nincada evolves into a Ninjask once it becomes level 20. If the player has an extra Poké Ball and empty party slot, Shedinja will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves.
