_Nincada_ can evolve into both _Ninjask_ as well as _Shedinja_. But under what
conditions it evolves to either one of these?

How does Nincada evolve into Shedinja?


So far I believe we have only seen a sort of evolution happen once and this
was in the Pokemon Adventures manga.

> Shedinja first appeared when Aqua Admin Amber, having been deprived of his

In the highlighted part, it states that the Shedinja formed from the shell of
the defeated Ninjask shed. This also does explain why Shedinja is a Ghost
Pokemon instead of a Flying Pokemon like Ninjask.

So my final conclusion is that in the story for a Shedinja to be created, a
Ninjask has to be defeated/die.
