I was under the impression that this was a fairly serious analysis. Despite a few jokes here and there, it contains most of the vital information and gets down to business when it needs to. Shedinja is not listed in the "joke" Pokemon category in the OP, regardless.Why can't we have a serious Shedinja analysis? It's often a gimmick but it can prove to be valuable for some scenarios, but "the leading competitive Pokémon website" doesn't give any good information on using it besides the most obvious old set in the book. I understand giving a stupid analysis to a literally useless Pokémon like Unown, but Shedinja has a specific niche which I think deserves more appreciation.
I don't write but I would do the research for somebody if they would
There is literally one "joke" paragraph in the entire analysis. Of course Shedinja is going to be the butt of a few jokes since it's a silly concept and Gamefreak enjoys trolling us (Final Gambit with 1 hp is too good). However we all know that Shedinja has a few uses, like walling Kyogre (or in NU, common pkmn like Jynx and Mesprit and Gorebyss).Why can't we have a serious Shedinja analysis?

Edit: Elaborating, the first part is written properly but as soon as the idea of options besides those 4 moves comes up, any amount of seriousness is out the window
