The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Legends: Arceus

    Shakes its body to generate electricity. Its stature belies its aggression—one must be patient to tame this Pokémon.

  • Shield

    Electricity makes this Pokémon’s fur glow. Shinx sends signals to others of its kind by shaking the tip of its tail while the tail tip is shining brightly.

  • Sword

    This Pokémon generates electricity by contracting its muscles. Excited trembling is a sign that Shinx is generating a tremendous amount of electricity.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    All of its fur dazzles if danger is sensed. It flees while the foe is momentarily blinded.
