Help me /vp/
Is there any way to make my favorite Pokemon, and one of the best Pokemon of all time, viable competitively?

put its defense stats into other stats
Do not invest any EVs into HP
>>27284529
Have every member of your team know rapid spin or defog
>>27284529
Use with soak user and let it hold safety goggles
Shedinja is fine to use in battle spot 3v3. Next to no one bothers using entry hazards in it and just spams hyper offense.
Only battle psychic pokemon and hope for the best

>Invest 252 EVs into both physical Attack and Speed.
>Have it learn these attacks: X Scissor, Shadow Sneak, Swords Dance, and Will-O-Wisp.
>Equip it with a Focus Sash.
Shedinja should now be viable and useful if you play it smart.

You'll want to use it early because of entry hazards

and then it gets burned or poisoned
I used to run an team in UU and started with Shedinja always. Having the focus sash to protect you, you know you can always use a move without KOing. I also had a magic bouncer and a M-pidgeot with defog (when it was still in UU)
It works if your predictions are good or if your opponent's are bad, it's fun to play but doesn't really add to a solid team.
Here's a match I saved where my opponent kept thinking I was going to switch in shedinja every single time but I took advantage of that and swiped without worries.
