Get ready to meet Shinx, the distinguished Electric-typed Pokémon! Shinx is not a Pokémon anyone usually expects to see on the battlefield. The LC tier (Little Cup) is where it shines.

Shinx proves to be a decent Physical Sweeper for single battles. It's designed to overwhelm foes with potent physical moves. 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. The Shell Bell item option is to help Shinx recover from the recoil damage it may take from Wild Charge. 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.
◆ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Shinx is burn/poison/paralyzed). ◆ Strength is a physical 80-base power Normal-type move that deals a mighty amount of damage. ◆ Wild Charge is a physical STAB-boosted 90-base power Electric-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ◆ Spark is a physical STAB-boosted 65-base power Electric-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ◆ Night Slash is a physical 70-base power Dark-type move (high critical hit ratio). ◆ Crunch is a physical 80-base power Dark-type move (20% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage). ◆ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Shinx this turn).
