Best answer

Firstly, there is indirect damage. This includes the entry hazard;
- Stealth Rock
- Sandstorm
- Status conditions, such as poison, burn and confusion
- Items such as the Rocky helmet and
- Leech seed

In terms of abilities;
- Mold Breaker makes Shedinja’s ability useless
- Mycelium Might
- Teravolt
- Turboblaze
- Aftermath
- Rough Skin
- Liquid ooze
- And a few more

There are also some moves that can damage it, being;
- Struggle
- Sunsteel Strike
- Moongeist Beam
- Photon Geyser
- Thousand Arrows
- And the recoil from Shedinja using struggle

In summary
There are still a lot of things that can beat Shedinja, mainly things like stealth rock and status conditions.

Hope I helped!

It's Nat Dex as the asker said
Smogon managed to beat Shedinja by banning it from NatDex.
Moves like Sunsteel Strike ignore abilities.
Must've missed that when I wrote the answer, thanks
The original question asked for Nat Dex is which likely didn't have those moves, but I thought they were worth a mention since shedinja is banned to AG now.
