Nincada can live underground for more than 10 years, taking in nutrients from tree roots. Nincada lives most of its life inside the earth and uses its sharp claws to tap into tree roots, extracting nutrients and moisture. One of them left behind a Shedinja, which entered one of Goh's Poké Balls and became his Pokémon. Multiple Nincada appeared in The Spectral Express!, where they evolved into Ninjask. In Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1), Kellyn used his Capture Styler on a Nincada and had it Dig a pit trap for J's henchmen to fall in. It later became a target for one of Team Rocket's schemes. It belonged to a boy named Keanu, who lived in his Secret Base in solitude. Nincada is nearly blind due to living almost entirely underground, as such, it uses its antennae to see instead. It does not like sunlight, so it avoids it. It can occasionally live up to 10 years underground. Nincada builds underground nests at the roots of trees in tropical and temperate forests. The claws are used to carve into the roots of trees and absorb moisture and nutrients.
Its hind legs are white, but the forelegs are brown and have sharp claws. On its back is a pair of small, green wings. As it is virtually blind, it uses its antennae to sense its surroundings. Its eyes are black with green iris-like rings inside. It has a pointed snout, a thin stripe that dips in a V-shaped pattern between its eyes, and two whisker-like antennae on its face. Nincada is a small, whitish, insectoid Pokémon.

It evolves into Ninjask starting at level 20 and, upon evolution, Shedinja if the player has an empty slot in their party and an extra Poké Ball on hand.
