Focus Sash helps protect Shinx from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Flame Orb will burn Shinx at the end of the turn which will activate Shinx's Guts ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Guts, if Shinx is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Shinx a sweet boost.
