Lets see what smogan says:

Shedinja is at once the most blessed and the most cursed Pokemon toever exist, thanks to its access to the best ability in the game,Wonder Guard. Despite being blessed with immunities to any type thatcannot hit Shedinja super effectively, it is cursed with wielding onlya single hit point, and it is around this hit point that any strategyregarding Shedinja revolves. For Shedinja to even hit the playingfield, extreme team support is needed, as any form of passive damagewill immediately KO it. Furthermore, Shedinja’s stats areexceptionally mediocre, its meager Attack stat is the only stat thatcrosses base 50. Fortunately, it does have Shadow Sneak to alleviateits speed. That said, Shedinja carries weaknesses to only Dark-,Ghost-, Rock-, Fire-, and Flying-type attacks, and is thus able towall many of the metagame’s deadly attackers, including dangerousthreats such as Gorebyss. Additionally, Shedinja carries a niceimmunity to every priority attack bar Shadow Sneak and the predictableSucker Punch, which ensures that it can’t be picked off at will.Although Shedinja is devilishly difficult to use successfully, andnigh impossible to bring in safely, when played to its strengths itcan be an unstoppable force, slicing through helpless opposition.

Good moveset:

With great immunities comes…one set you can viably use. Shedinjamakes the most out of the little it has available to it, with SwordsDance giving Shedinja a way of actually threatening the opponent.X-Scissor is the requisite STAB option, and hits a large number ofPokemon for neutral damage. Shadow Sneak is one of the key factorsthat make Shedinja viable, the STAB priority being crucial inoutspeeding opposing Pokemon that can hit Shedinja super effectively.Sucker Punch is also a viable option due to its higher base power, butit also suffers from failing against any non-damaging attack—quitecostly given that many status moves OHKO Shedinja. Protect is anothercrucial move, allowing Shedinja to scout an opponent’s moveset forsurprise Toxics that would kill it, as well as random Hidden Powersfrom the opponent. Will-O-Wisp is also usable to support the team, butShedinja will rarely find an occasion to use it to great effect.
