When Evolving Nincada, do you need an actual Pokeball to get Shedinja?

Question

What I'm saying is to you need an actual pokeball? Like, can you have a great ball or a dusk ball? Would those work?

Comments

Yup (filler)

I mean, it doesnt have to be pokeball

Answer 1

Yes. You need an actual Poke Ball. Not a Great Ball, not an Ultra Ball, not a Heavy Ball.
Just a Poke Ball.

This has been explained a lot on the site.

Answer 2

Yes it has to be a normal Poké Ball.

Shedinja is considered a "special" evolution of Nincada, appearing only when Nincada evolves into Ninjask, starting at level 20, and there is an extra space in the player's party and the player has an extra Poké Ball.

From Generation IV onwards, a basic Poké Ball (a requirement for evolution) is removed from the bag upon evolution to produce a Shedinja.
