Cast-off Shell is listed as Ability. When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon, you may search your deck for Shedinja and put it onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. The attack Night Slash lists 60 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless. You may switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Because it moves so quickly, it sometimes becomes unseeable. It congregates around tree sap."

I keep a set binder for Dragons Exalted, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Dragons Exalted set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ninjask can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
