Questions people ask

Is Ninjask good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Ninjask has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Ninjask?
Ninjask has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Ninjask a good raid attacker?
Ninjask ranks #78 of 164 bug attackers with 10.1 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Ninjask be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Ninjask is available from evolution, photobomb, raid, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
