Talk:Shedinja vs. Sans/@comment-28501958-20170108075329

Eh, this result is a little fishy to me. Claiming that none of Sans attacks could hurt Shedinja because of Wondergaurd feels a bit like Ganondorf's Holy Weapons No Limits Falacy. Shedinja can only be hurtbu Pokémon attacks of the type it is weak to? Then clearly it can no-sell hits from Galactus.

Attempting to align Pokémon attack types to characters from other universes is almost always a bad idea. Pokémon says throwing bones is Ground type? But Sans is undead. Doesn't that mean that him attacking with bones counts as a Ghost type attack? Then again, he uses lots of fake-outs, so maybe his attacks are Dark Type like Feint Attack. Or maybe it's Rock type because bones are made of Calcium, which is a mineral. See how silly it gets?

Also, Shedinja not having a soul feels a little too speculative. I don't remember anything in Pokémon's canon that says Shedinja has no soul, just that it can suck the souls of others. Not to mention that Ghosts are literally the souls of the dead.

The Mind Reader move giving make attacks always hit is a bit of an NFL as well. Would Mind Reader let Shedinja hit the Flash? Evem though the Flash could sprint halfway across the planet before Shedinja made its next attack?
