Ninjask

Ninjask (Japanese: テッカニン, HepburnTekkanin) (NIN-jask[1]) is a Bug/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is known for being the fastest non-Legendary Pokémon, only being surpassed by Regieleki and Deoxys in its Speed form.

Biology

Appearance

Ninjask is a small, cicada-like Pokémon with two pairs of wings. Its body is mostly black with accents of yellow and gray. Most of its head is yellow, but there is a solid band of black between its gleaming red eyes. The band expands into a circular pattern on its forehead, between two pointed crests on the sides of its head. The underside of its head is gray and segmented, making it somewhat resemble a veil. On its back is a patch of black with a stretch of yellow, shaped like an upside-down letter Y. Most of its carapace and abdomen is black, but there is a ring of yellow near the tip. Its gray insectoid arms extend from its chest and usually have their small, yellow claws turned inward. There is a similar pair of back legs. It has large, veined wings with triangular, red tipping.

Behavior

Oftentimes, the only way one can tell that Ninjask are nearby is by the high-pitched buzzing sound they make while flying and the gusts of wind felt by their passing. Ninjask are notoriously difficult to train, refusing orders and emitting their incessantly loud buzzing to annoy their trainers. It is said that trainers must prove their worth to their Ninjask through demonstrations of physical strength, agility, and dexterity in order for them to be deemed worthy of obedience. Listening to their buzzing for extended periods of time can cause headaches, adding to the difficulty of training them. However, those who earn their respect are rewarded with Pokémon so quick that they can dodge virtually any attack through the sheer virtue of their agility. Their favorite food is tree sap; Ninjask can be seen congregating around exposed sap on tree bark, one of the only times they can be seen remaining still.

Natural abilities

Ninjask's ability Speed Boost allows it to raise its Speed each turn until it is maxed out. It's said to be so fast, it becomes invisible.

Evolution

Ninjask is one of the two evolved forms of Nincada. Nincada evolves into Ninjask once it reached level 20. Also, if the player character has a spare space in the team and a spare Poké Ball in the bag, a Shedinja is added.

    Trivia

    • It shares the same species name as Greninja, as both are called the Ninja Pokémon.

    Origin

    Ninjask appears similar to a cicada while also taking attributes from ninjas.

    Ninjask comes from ninja and mask. It may also possibly incorporate casket, seeing as how its counterpart, Shedinja (who is a part Ghost-type Pokémon) is seemingly dead and lifeless.
