How do you kill a Shedninja behind a sub?

This is a pretty weird question, but let’s say someone baton passes a sub to Shedninja, how do you kill it, since it’ll take 1% HP each time? My theory is that it’ll break each time, but I don’t know.

You just need to use a move that isn’t blocked by wonder guard (Flying/ Fire/ Rock/ Ghost/ Dark), then the substitute will break,thenyou’ll be able to hit Shedinja.

You can also force it out of it with roar/ whirlwind.

Additionally, any weather buffeting or entry hazards will KO Shedinja on switch in.

EDIT: so you’re asking if the substitute will break after 1 super-effective attack? Yes it will. Something like Rock Blast (as suggested) will break the substitute on the first hit, then KO Shedinja on the second hit (unless it’s holding a sash, in which case it will KO Shedinja on the third hit).

A substitute will take the damage, no matter how high the damage is, and will fade after one hit if the damage is high enough. While it has 1/4 of the HP of the Pokemon that made it, Shedinja’s low defences mean that the substitute will break in nearly all cases.
