Nincada (Japanese: ツチニン Tutinin) is a dual-type Bug- and Ground-Type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves into Ninjask starting at level 20. Additionally, if the player has a spare slot in the party and an extra Poké Ball, a Shedinja will appear in the player's party when Nincada evolves.
