[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Focus Sash can be used to allow Shedinja to tank a super effective hit, though its generally not worth giving up Heavy-Duty Boots. X-Scissor can be used as an alternative STAB to hit Pokemon such as Exeguttor, but it limits Shedinja's utility.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Super Effective Moves**: Any Pokemon with a move that can hit Shedinja will remove it from the game, such as Knock Off on Sawk and Shadow Ball on Froslass, although the latter has to watch out for Shadow Sneak.
**Burn and Poison**: Will-O-Wisp and Toxic, common on Pokemon such as Rotom and Dugtrio-Alola, will cripple and remove Shedinja from the game.
**Persian-Alola** Alolan Persian is Shedinja's best counter, crippling it with Taunt or Toxic, threating it out with its STAB moves, or using Shedinja as a way to pivot into another Pokemon.
