A discarded bug shell that came to life. Peering into the crack on its back is said to steal one’s spirit.

I REALLY want this to be good. It’s a shame it can’t even use Expert Belt effectively. Even if they don’t take a prize for it though, they’re still taking any energy you put on it. Something will turn up I just know it…
Curtis
I’m not sure why you’d put Expert Belt on it, anyways. It doesn’t deal damage, so all you’re getting out of it is 20 extra HP. You’re better off playing Giant Cape.
coolestman22
No, Giant Cape would be the same to it.

W….well if you use an effect that gives it its pre-evolution’s moves, you can do 40 damage per turn or sap 30 HP per turn using one of the early Nincada printings. SCORE!
:/
Curtis
Oh, right. I forgot about the Weezing ruling that prevents Expert Belt from giving out additional prizes if there isn’t an initial prize given.
HEZ
That’s what I said, can’t even use it effectively, dam damage counters! Could give it Expert Belt and a TM!… then loose even more cards when it’s KO’d -_-

Editor’s note: HEZ would go on to build a Ninjask/Shedinja control deck for Unlimited 150, a singleton Unlimited format with 100 card decks and 8 prizes. It was effective, but took 3 hours to win games, so HEZ reluctantly discarded the archetype.
smokemon
it can be played as a basic using Ninjask’s (BWDE) ability!
coolestman22
Yeah, but then you have a Stage One in play. The point of it being a basic would be so that you can’t Catcher-KO the little form.
Logan
This is useless considering you might go against a Garbodor deck.

I could see this being fun in expanded with Forest of Giant Plants
