Pokemon TCG Best Shedinja Deck Guide Overview
Shedinja’s ability Fragile Husk means that it basically acts as a free attacker for your side as long as the opponent is using a Pokemon ex to attack. It’s pretty decent offensively too as its move Damage Beat does 20 damage for each damage counter on the opponent’s Active Pokemon. In order to ensure that your opponent’s Pokemon are chipped away, use cards like Froslass, Munkidori, Ting-Lu, and Uxie to spread damage counters.

How To Play This Best Shedinja Deck in Pokemon TCG
Ideal Starting Hand
Uxie is an excellent card to play on your first turn as it is deceptively powerful due to spreading damage counters all over for a single Energy. Also, getting Snorunt on your Bench to evolve them into Froslass later will help. Finally, Lillie’s Determination is great early on when you have six Prizes as you can draw eight cards instead of the usual six.
Best Shedinja Deck in Pokemon TCG: Key Cards
Here’s the strategy for this deck:
- Shedinja comes in mid-game when your opponent’s Pokemon have taken damage and starts spamming Damage Beat.
- Uxie spreads 2 damage counters on all of your opponent’s Pokemon with its move Painful Memories.
- Ting-Lu is here to use its move Ground Crasher when there’s a Stadium in play, as this deals 30 damage to all of the opponent’s Pokemon.
- Froslass places 20 damage counters on all Pokemon (including yours) that have an ability.
- Munkidori redirects 30 damage from Froslass or from the opponent’s attacks to the opponent’s Pokemon instead.

Something to consider while using this deck
- As Shedinja has an ability, Froslass’s ability Freezing Shroud affects it as well. So make sure that Munkidori is in play to remove that damage so that Shedinja isn’t accidentally KOd as that will lead to your opponent taking a Prize.
- Bravery Charm should be attached to Shedinja to increase its HP to 110.
- Technical Machine: Evolution is useful to quickly evolve the multiple Stage 1 Pokemon in this deck.
