What to do with Shedinja

People have noticed slakings massive CP and wondered what niantic will do about that.

What about the other end of the scale? Shedinja has 2 hp (in the games it has an ability making it immume to most moves) but how can a pokemon with 2hp work under gos simplified rules?

Will gen 3 be time for niantic to introduce abilities? I hope they're planning ahead.

I hope so to, but I don't think we can totally discount the possibility of them leaving it broken. After all, there are already gimmick/niche pokemon left broken right now, like smeargle and wobuffet. However, gen 3 was when abilities were introduced originally.

Leave it for now until they figure out how to implement wonder guard - like with ditto, which wasn't released until they added transform to the game.

They could make it so that dodging reduces damage to 0. I don't know how they could make wonder guard work the exact same way. With only 2 moves per Pokemon it would either take no damage for the entire fight, or get 1 shot and not do anything.

Then again no one uses ditto anyway, so I doubt there'd be people who care if Shedinja is unusable.

Shedinja can have 17 HP with max HP IV.

That's actually impossible, Shedinja is programed so that his hp will never go above 1 regardless of investments

What fictional non-existent pokemon go creature are you talking about? Like the questions about smeargle? Or Delibird? Until it exists it doesn't.

I know this is old, but still. Is Shedinja in the game already? @androgynous I would care, he is my favorite Pokemon and I'll only go back to Pokemon Go once he is added to the game, he don't need to be op, but I want him in the game

Yes Shedinja is in the game. I think I've only gotten them from special encounters, but I have managed to gather 3 of them so far.
