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!

I feel like Tera elec shedinja is overhyped.
Amen to that
In doubles it would be better
Also, Shedninja is unobtainable in Scarlet and Violet
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.
